Overview

• The Sun reports police escorted Brueckner from a council apartment in Neumünster after his address and photos were shared in a local WhatsApp group.
• Local residents say they have repeatedly seen him in the northern German city and parents describe heightened fear for children’s safety.
• Community responses include a petition, an emergency meeting at a civic building, and a demonstration scheduled for October 4.
• CCTV images circulating in local media show him displaying an ankle tag in a phone shop and appearing to try to buy an untraceable handset, though a source later disputed that he asked for such a phone.
• Prosecutors have not charged him over Madeleine McCann’s disappearance, and his lawyer says he has served his sentence and should be left alone.
