The primary suspect linked to the disappearance case of Madeleine McCann attempted to approach a prosecutor in Germany. Christian Brueckner was spotted trying to gain access to attorney Hans Christian Wolters’ office, who alleges having proof of his involvement in the abduction and murder of the British child.
Brueckner has consistently asserted his innocence ever since Madeleine went missing from her family’s vacation residence in Praia da Luz, Portugal, in 2007. Recently released from prison after serving a seven-year sentence for assaulting an elderly woman, the convicted sex offender expressed his desire to reclaim his life during an interaction with Sky News outside the court.
Despite his efforts, Brueckner faced rejection by the prosecutor’s office, prompting frustration over media scrutiny and a lack of support. Following his release on September 17, the 49-year-old was relocated to Germany, where he now resides in government-provided housing.
In a statement to Germany’s Stern magazine, Brueckner’s main lawyer, Dr. Fulscher, criticized the Braunschweig public prosecutor for allegedly fueling biased media coverage without substantial evidence or transparency in the case. The lawyer raised concerns about hindering Brueckner’s chances for rehabilitation due to the handling of the investigation.
Recent images disclosed the modest living conditions of the dingy apartment where Brueckner stayed before being forced to vacate following a leak of his whereabouts on a local WhatsApp group. Facing public backlash upon his departure, Brueckner was escorted by police as he left the flat with minimal belongings, including a single bed, a chair, and a desk with a lamp.
