Christian Brueckner, the primary suspect in the disappearance of Madeleine McCann, has been released from prison in Germany after serving a 7-year sentence for rape.
Release from Prison
Christian Brueckner, the main suspect in the Madeleine McCann disappearance case, was released from prison in Sehnde, Germany, on September 17. He had been serving a 7-year sentence for raping a 72-year-old woman in Portugal in 2005.
Brueckner will be under supervision for the next five years, wearing an electronic ankle bracelet and required to meet with a court-appointed curator at least once a month. He must also notify authorities of any changes to his place of residence.
Background and Investigation
Brueckner is a suspect in the disappearance of Madeleine McCann, who vanished in May 2007 while on vacation with her family in Portugal. He had previously been convicted of sexual offenses and had worked irregularly in the hospitality industry, breaking into hotel rooms.
The German and British police have identified Brueckner as the primary suspect in the case. However, he denies any involvement in Madeleine’s disappearance.
Recent Developments
Two days before his release, the British police attempted to question Brueckner regarding Madeleine’s disappearance but received a negative response. The investigation is ongoing, according to Inspector Mark Cranwell.
