Madeleine McCann suspect Christian B released after serving rape sentence
- Christian Brueckner, the primary suspect in Madeleine McCann's 2007 disappearance, was released from Sehnde prison in Germany today after serving a seven-year sentence for rape unrelated to the case.
- German prosecutors named Brueckner a suspect in June 2020 but have not charged him due to insufficient evidence despite ongoing investigations and police interview requests.
- Brueckner is subject to judicial supervision including bans from schools and nurseries, mandatory police check-ins, and restrictions on changing his residence.
- Prosecutor Hans Christian Wolters said his office has 'almost' enough evidence to charge Brueckner but cannot justify detaining him, while considering him very dangerous with risk of reoffending.
- Brueckner's release leaves the investigation ongoing with hopes of new evidence, as Madeleine's parents maintain their hope she may still be found alive.
