Not all convicted of it, though, and he was. I maintain he is known to be unusually dangerous and should continue to be held or at least monitored.

He cannot be held on the basis of suspicion! Thankfully, that's not how the law works.

I hope it is presented in a balanced way and the issues dicussed sensibly

I very much doubt that, based on the description.

Coming up in September.

I suppose it will make money, whatever the content.

Sadly the case keeps giving, many are trying to make a reputation on the back of it.

Normally when these things are released, it means the BKA will be digging in Portugal very soon.

from above article -
"Mr Wolters said that while he and other prosecutors did not believe they had enough evidence to formally charge Brückner in relation to the McCann case, their efforts would continue."

That's not what he was saying a few years ago.

That's not what he was saying a few years ago.
In his own words from the article above:

Brückner "is not just our number one suspect, he's the only suspect", he said. "There is no-one else."

"We have evidence which speaks against [Brückner], which indicates that he is responsible for the disappearance and the death of Madeleine McCann," he said.

"We haven't found anything in the last five years that exonerates [him]. We found evidence that strengthens our case. But in our view it's not strong enough to make a guilty verdict likely, and that's why so far we couldn't charge him or apply for an arrest warrant."

And later in the same article:

He said he understood the ongoing investigation by prosecutors in the northern German city of Braunschweig could have lost credibility after five years of inquiries with seemingly no tangible results.

"I can only ask for your understanding that we would certainly not have positioned ourselves so clearly five years ago if we only had hot air."

What is noticeable from the article is the omission of any reference to an appeal in reference to his aquital , not too far of a stretch to say or imagine it didn't succeed or meet a threshold.

It is absolutely chilling to think he will be out roaming the streets because he is a very dangerous offender.

Due to differences in legal systems, German authorities suspect Brückner of murder in relation to Madeleine McCann, while British police continue to treat her disappearance as a missing persons case.
From the article, how inconceivable is it that after and up to the appeal in 2020 in which SY took part in ,that the BKA haven't shared evidence to show MM is dead, imo they don't have that evidence .

Of course they have no actual evidence.
What they do have is their interpretation of circumstantial evidence that they have collated over the years.
This is insufficient to take to trial.

I don't suppose many people are losing sleep over it.

This is probably AI generated.




German police also had the powerful testimony of an informer called Helge Busching, a former friend of Brueckner who claimed the paedophile had ‘confessed’ to him a year after the three-year-old went missing.

Most chillingly, according to Busching, Brueckner had said that it ‘was strange Maddie didn’t scream’ when he had abducted her.

I think it's deffo just not enough evidence to charge him.
Over the years several people have come forward with his name, hence him becoming the suspect, this happens in quite a lot of cases, but the problem with mm, is no body, and so no DNA, due to how it was handled in the first few hours.
When he is realised, give him time and a few beers, loose lips and all that , he may be his own nemesis

Judging by the level of witnesses where 4 different accounts by a least one of them given in the unrelated trial it's not a stretch to say the BKA were promised much which wasn't delivered in the MM case, not least imo it was never there.

Not forgetting the e-mails which according to the olive press directly linked him to the killing of MM,being described in the unrelated court case as the murder account.

Remember this.
