CHRISTIAN B's lawyers denied that he was charged in the Madeleine McCann case after detectives yesterday made him an official suspect. It emerged las.

In September of that year, Gerry and Kate, both doctors, were sensationally named as "arguidos" or "suspects" by Portuguese police. CHRISTIAN B's lawyers denied that he was charged in the Madeleine McCann case after detectives yesterday made him an official suspect. Sources close to authorities in Portugal say abandoning their ongoing case review was "completely out of the question".

German police had previously said Christian Brueckner, 44, was probably responsible for toddler's disappearance in 2007.

German police received their first tip-off linking the convicted rapist to Madeleine’s case in 2013. Brueckner lived in the Algarve between 1995 and 2007 and burgled hotels and holiday flats, according to court documents seen by Reuters in 2020. Brueckner has denied being involved in the disappearance of Madeleine, who went missing from her family’s holiday apartment a few days before her fourth birthday, as her parents dined with friends at a nearby tapas bar.

However, there are not thought to be any immediate plans to do so. A Portuguese source added: "The legal grounds for making (Christian B) an arguido include the fact that he allegedly confessed to a friend he had snatched Madeleine and mobile phone records placed him in Praia da Luz the night she vanished." Christian B is in prison in Germany after being convicted of raping a 72-year-old woman in 2005, in the same town where Madeleine went missing.

The statement does not name Brueckner, but says the person was made an “arguido” by German authorities at the request of Portugal’s public prosecution service. A statement was issued on Thursday by the Portimao section of the Faro department of criminal investigation and prosecution which, according to a translation, says that a person was made an “arguido” – which translates as “named suspect” or “formal suspect” – a day earlier. The German national linked to the disappearance of Madeleine McCann (3) has been made a “formal suspect” by Portuguese authorities.

The Portuguese move paves the way for him to be flown from Germany to the Algarve for formal questioning.

A spokesman for Portugal’s Attorney General’s Office, asked about the future of the probe led by a prosecutor based in the Algarve resort of Portimao, said: “The investigation is proceeding, with the inquiry not having a final conclusion yet.” Lawyers for Brueckner, who is already in prison for the rape of a 72-year-old woman in 2005 in Praia da Luz, denied he had been charged over the disappearance. Without naming Brueckner, the the AFP News Agency said a suspect in Germany has been charged at the request of Portuguese authorities in connection with the case.
