The paedophile suspected of kidnapping Madeleine McCann could be freed before the police finish their investigation, the man in charge of the case has admitted.
Hans Christian Wolters spoke three years after he publicly named jailed German drifter Christian Brueckner as the prime suspect in the British child’s disappearance.
Brueckner is serving a seven-year sentence for the 2005 rape of a pensioner in the Portuguese resort of Praia da Luz.
