Alarm in Germany as 'dangerous' Maddie suspect set to walk
Christian Brückner, the prime suspect in Madeleine McCann's 2007 disappearance, will be released due to sentence completion despite ongoing investigations and concerns over his violent sex crime history.
- Christian Brueckner, the 48-year-old prime suspect in Madeleine McCann's 2007 disappearance, is due to be released from German prison on September 17, 2025.
- His imminent release follows a paid outstanding €1,446 fine linked to a 2015 conviction, which if unpaid would have added 56 days to his sentence.
- Prosecutors have requested release conditions including electronic surveillance, wearing an ankle tag, and reporting his residence, while Brueckner denies involvement in the case.
- Chief prosecutor Christian Wolters said Brueckner has not undergone therapy in prison, must be assumed to reoffend, and remains “fundamentally dangerous” as a psychiatric expert expects “further sexual offences.”
- The case remains unsolved without sufficient evidence to charge Brueckner, and authorities fear he might flee Germany after release despite ongoing investigations.
