The German national linked to the disappearance of Madeleine McCann has been made a “formal suspect” by Portuguese authorities.
Christian Brueckner, 44, was identified as a murder suspect by German prosecutors in June 2020, but he has not been charged since then.
Investigators believe the convicted sex offender killed Madeleine, then three, after abducting her from a holiday apartment in Praia da Luz in May 2007.
