The below link has info on what happened at the court in Silves with the diesel theft - he admitted to sex crimes.He'd had offences for theft in Germany too by then plus the diesel theft in Portugal and the disobedience charge over his Jag registration plates there.
I get where you're coming from though. My query is how exactly CB ended up on the list of suspects in the first place. Amaral claims there was "no suspicion of abuse" by him and says "it must have been" for robbery that he was on that list ... but that doesn't make any sense. He said the list was based on child sex offenders and burglars.
CB has no convictions in Portugal for burglary and nicking some diesel surely wouldn't promote you as a suspect in such a case, Amaral specifically says the suspects picked out were house burglars. Amaral also claims there was "no suspicion of abuse" by CB yet we know the Portuguese authorities already knew there was a suspicion as they extradited him back to Germany in 1999 for the child sex offences from which he fled his sentence.
Amaral isn't being 100% truthful about the circumstances over the investigation into CB in 2007 IMO.

Mugshots of Madeleine McCann suspect Christian Brueckner from 1999
The series of pictures were taken in the Algarve in July 1999 - eight years before the youngster was abducted from Praia da Luz.
The article is from July 2020 and also states:
He said he hoped to be able to charge Brueckner within the next two months – but has added their investigation will not drag on forever.
I also found this from an earlier thread which may be useful for people looking at his past offences:
