Christian B, the prime suspect in Madeleine McCann’s disappearance, has been released from prison September 17, 2023, and remains under investigation for the 2007 case.
Christian B Released from German Prison
Christian B, serving a prolonged sentence primarily for sexual assault crimes, will be released on September 17, 2023, from the Brunszwik prison. He was initially imprisoned for assaulting a 72-year-old woman in Portugal in 2005 and was convicted for this crime in 2019, marking the start of his extended prison sentence.
Ongoing Investigation into Madeleine McCann’s Disappearance
Despite the pending release, German prosecutors warn that they must assume Christian B could reoffend. While initial charges against him do not directly relate to Madeleine McCann’s disappearance, investigators consider him a person of interest and continue their inquiry into her 2007 disappearance.
Electronic Surveillance Required
Prosecutors have mandated that upon his release, Christian B must wear an electronic ankle bracelet to monitor his location and movement. This heavy surveillance will continue, requiring his activities to be approved by the court. Authorities emphasize that Christian B remains someone who deeply concerns them, requiring constant oversight.
