Madeleine McCann: formal suspect declared by Portuguese authorities
The Guardian says a German man has been formally identified as a suspect in the disappearance of British toddler Madeleine McCann 15 years ago, Portuguese prosecutors have said.
Christian Brueckner, a convicted rapist, has been made an “arguido”, translated as “named suspect” or “formal suspect” who is treated by Portuguese police as more than a witness but has not been arrested or charged.
The German’s lawyer said that his client has not been charged over the case.
Prosecutors in Faro did not publicly name the man but said in a statement he was identified as a suspect by German authorities at their request.
