Unless the Metropolitan Police come up with concrete evidence, Christian Brueckner, the prime suspect in the 2007 disappearance of Madeleine McCann, could remain without facing charges, rather than being brought before a court. This comes after reports emerged that monitoring measures on the German national were allegedly halted, after a court ruled that such surveillance was no longer required.
Brueckner is, however, expected to continue wearing an electronic ankle monitor, a device that was placed on him in September 2025 as part of a probationary supervision agreement.
