Prime suspect in Madeleine McCann case refuses to speak to British police
- Christian Brueckner, a 49-year-old German national and the main suspect, declined to participate in an interview with the Metropolitan Police prior to his upcoming release from prison.
- Brueckner became a leading suspect due to his violent sexual crime history and connection to Praia da Luz, where Madeleine McCann disappeared in 2007.
- British, German, and Portuguese authorities have conducted multiple searches near Lagos and Barragem do Arade reservoir seeking evidence to implicate Brueckner.
- DCI Mark Cranwell stated last month, "We found evidence that strengthens our case" but lacked enough proof to charge Brueckner or issue an arrest warrant.
- The investigation continues despite the suspect's refusal to cooperate, with Operation Grange funded by over £13.2 million since 2011 to support Madeleine's family.
