Overview
- OLG Celle partially revoked a post‑release order requiring Christian B. to maintain a residence in Germany and sent the matter back to the Landgericht Hildesheim to recast it.
- Supervision remains in force, including a court‑ordered electronic ankle monitor, which the court spokesperson said was confirmed to continue.
- Whether monitoring functions outside Germany is unclear, and reporting indicates his passport has not yet been returned even as a revised order could allow travel once implemented.
- Braunschweig prosecutors still classify him as a suspect in the 2007 disappearance of Madeleine McCann, but they have not filed charges despite investigations opened in 2020.
- The defense says a departure could be possible soon, the suspect has stated he plans to leave when able, and a reported GoFundMe for travel was taken offline.
