German investigators’ primary suspect in the Madeleine McCann case, Christian Brueckner, displays a lack of remorse regarding his crimes, according to journalist Ulrich Oppold. Brueckner, 48, who is set to be released from prison after serving time for a 2019 rape in Portugal, has shown no desire for rehabilitation despite his convictions.
During an interview with The Sun, Oppold recounted Brueckner’s unrepentant attitude when questioned about regretting his past actions. Brueckner coldly avoided the question, indicating a lack of guilt or remorse. Despite being labeled a psychopath in court, Brueckner adamantly denied being dangerous.
Although Brueckner was named the prime suspect in the Madeleine McCann case in 2020, he has not been formally charged and denies involvement in her disappearance. German authorities continue to investigate his potential connection to the case, with chief prosecutor Hans Christian Wolters stating that while evidence exists, it may not be sufficient for a conviction.
Prosecutors claim to have linked Brueckner to Madeleine’s disappearance through phone records, which allegedly placed him near the location where she vanished. The investigation is ongoing, with efforts focused on identifying the individual who made a critical 30-minute call to Brueckner. Mr. Wolters emphasized the importance of this lead, as it could potentially lead to an arrest warrant or formal charges against Brueckner.
The investigative team remains dedicated to the case, working diligently to uncover the truth behind Madeleine McCann’s disappearance.
