Overview

  • Braunschweig prosecutors filed on August 5 for post‑release Führungsaufsicht that would require electronic monitoring alongside strict residence, reporting and movement controls.
  • The proposed orders include a ban on leaving Germany without approval and restrictions on entering places deemed to present opportunities for further crimes.
  • Investigators continue a murder probe into Madeleine McCann’s 2007 disappearance with no charges filed, and Christian B. rejects the allegation.
  • His release from Oldenburg prison is projected for September 17 after a former federal police employee paid an outstanding fine that cleared the way for discharge.
  • Defense lawyer Friedrich Fülscher criticizes a proposed “circular prohibition zone” condition as undefined and nonsensical.
