The man named as the prime suspect in the disappearance of Madeleine McCann could be released from prison in just days, sparking fresh fears that justice may slip through the cracks. Christian Brueckner, 48, is currently serving a seven-year sentence for the rape of a 72-year-old American woman in Praia da Luz—just two years before Madeleine vanished from the same resort in 2007.
Despite being accused by German prosecutors of murdering the missing British girl, Brueckner has always denied any involvement in her case. Now, in a move that’s sent shockwaves through both legal teams and the public, Brueckner is seeking early release from prison—and insiders say it might just work, reported the Express.
