A German paedophile who has been named as a suspect in the disappearance of British toddler Madeleine McCann has an alibi which is backed by several people, fresh claims reveal.
Last week, Christian Brueckner was named as an arguido - suspect - by Portuguese authorities who are continuing to investigate the case which is fast approaching its 15th anniversary. While the German has not been charged yet, it was seen as a sign that he was about to be.
However, the Mirror reports that four witnesses have come forward to support an alibi Brueckner has given. The alibi describes his whereabouts in the days leading up to Maddie's disappearance while on a family holiday in Prais da Luz on May 3, 2007, when she was three years old.
