Madeleine McCann Suspect Tries to Confront German Prosecutor Who Accused Him

The uncharged suspect is under electronic monitoring after his release this month, with prosecutors saying their evidence is not yet sufficient to indict.

Overview

  • Christian Brueckner traveled for hours to the Braunschweig prosecutor’s office, where Hans Christian Wolters refused to meet him after being tipped off.
  • Brueckner denies involvement in Madeleine McCann’s disappearance and told Sky News he wanted the prosecutor’s help to “get my life back.”
  • He was released from Sehnde prison on 17 September with conditions that include an electronic ankle tag, surrender of his passport, and registration with probation officers.
  • His Neumünster address was published by journalists, prompting community anger and a subsequent police relocation for safety.
  • A local shop worker reported Brueckner tried to purchase a SIM card without ID, and authorities continue cross‑border inquiries as prosecutors maintain they lack charge‑ready evidence.
