Arrest warrant issued in Germany for Madeleine McCann 'suspect' Christian Brueckner
Authorities in Germany have issued a new arrest warrant in separate cases for a man who is also suspected in the disappearance of Madeleine McCann in Portugal 15 years ago.
Concerned that he might be released before standing trial again, prosecutors in the northern city of Braunschweig announced last month that they had charged the 45-year-old in five separate cases involving sexual offences allegedly committed in Portugal between 2000 and 2017. The arrest warrant must still be approved by authorities in Italy, where he was arrested in 2018 before being extradited to Germany. The Braunschweig court has said a decision on whether to send the case to trial - a necessary step in the German legal process - is still pending.
Brueckner has not been charged in the McCann case, in which he remains under investigation on suspicion of murder. He spent many years in Portugal, including in the resort where Madeleine disappeared. He has denied any involvement in her disappearance.
