Overview

• German authorities confirmed post‑release controls including an electronic ankle tag for up to five years, a seized passport, residence approval requirements and probation oversight.
• Brueckner remains the sole suspect for German prosecutors and a suspect for the Metropolitan Police, and he refused a Met interview requested via an International Letter of Request.
• Within 48 hours of release, tabloid outlets reported nightclub appearances where onlookers recognized him, accounts that have not been independently verified.
• Separate reports describe him wearing a false beard and begging for food, with local media saying he is in state‑provided housing after declaring himself homeless, which remains unverified.
• A shopkeeper claims Brueckner boasted he could “solve the scandal of the century” and displayed his ankle tag, while he still faces a separate October 27 hearing over allegedly insulting a prison employee.
