"Christian Brückner, who was revealed as a suspect in the "Maddie" case in 2020 but never charged, was released from prison in Germany on September 17th after serving a sentence on separate rape charges. Brückner is now sleeping in a tent in a park in the northern city of Kiel, according to Der Spiegel magazine, with two police officers constantly protecting him from "possible attacks by the public"."
"After his release from jail, Brückner was taken to a halfway house in Neumünster, the magazine said. But when local residents found out he was living there, they "verbally abused and threatened him", forcing him to leave nine days later escorted by police. Brückner then travelled to Braunschweig, where he tried to confront the prosecutors who accuse him of abducting Maddie, but was turned away, the report said."
"Three-year-old Madeleine vanished from her family's holiday apartment in Portugal's Praia da Luz in May 2007 while her parents dined at a nearby tapas bar. Despite a huge international manhunt and global media attention, no trace of her has been found and no one has been charged over her disappearance. German prosecutors in a bombshell announcement in 2020 named Brückner, who is known to have lived in the area on and off at the time, as their top suspect."
Christian Brückner was released from prison in Germany on September 17 after serving a sentence for a separate rape conviction. He stayed at a halfway house in Neumünster but left after local residents verbally abused and threatened him and he was escorted out by police. He travelled to Braunschweig and was turned away when he attempted to confront prosecutors. He moved to Kiel, sleeping in a tent in a park with two police officers protecting him and being expelled from cheap hotels when recognised. German prosecutors named him the top suspect in Madeleine's 2007 disappearance but have not charged him. Prior convictions include theft, drug trafficking, assault, child pornography, child abuse and rape.
