Madeleine McCann Suspect Christian Brueckner Registers as Homeless After Prison Release

Prosecutors still name him the prime suspect in Madeleine McCann’s disappearance despite having brought no charges.

Overview

  • Neumünster officials say Brueckner registered as homeless on Thursday and was placed in emergency accommodation for safety reasons.
  • He left Sehnde prison this week after completing a seven-year sentence for the rape of a pensioner in Portugal.
  • Post-release conditions require him to wear an electronic tag for five years, with the possibility of recall if he breaches supervision rules.
  • Reports in the UK say Metropolitan Police officers have requested access to German investigation files and witnesses as interest in the case intensifies.
  • Brueckner, who denies involvement in Madeleine’s disappearance, is due in an Oldenburg court next month over an alleged insult to a prison officer.
