Madeleine McCann suspect freed from German prison

Madeleine McCann suspect freed from German prison

Christian Brückner, the prime suspect in the disappearance of Madeleine McCann, has been released from a German prison after serving a sentence for a separate crime. Brückner was convicted of raping a 72-year-old American woman in Portugal in 2005 and was serving a seven-year sentence in Germany for that crime. Despite being the key suspect in the McCann case, Brückner has never been charged with any crime related to Madeleine's disappearance. The investigation into the McCann case is ongoing, and German prosecutors have said they have "concrete evidence" that Madeleine is dead, but they have not yet charged Brückner. The release of Brückner from prison has sparked renewed interest in the McCann case, which has remained unsolved for over 15 years. The case continues to be a high-profile and controversial one, with many unanswered questions and ongoing investigations.
