Prime Madeleine McCann suspect refuses Met interview before German prison release
"The prime suspect in the disappearance of Madeleine McCann has refused to be interviewed by the Metropolitan police before his pending release from prison in Germany, the force has said. The Met confirmed it had submitted a formal international request to question Christian Brueckner, the 49-year-old German national who has long been under investigation in connection with Madeleine's disappearance, but the suspect declined."
"For a number of years we have worked closely with our policing colleagues in Germany and Portugal to investigate the disappearance of Madeleine McCann and support Madeleine's family to understand what happened on the evening of 3 May 2007 in Praia da Luz, Cranwell said. We are aware of the pending release from prison of a 49-year-old German man who has been the primary suspect in the German federal investigation into Madeleine's disappearance."
Christian Brueckner, a 49-year-old German national and the primary suspect in the German federal investigation into Madeleine McCann's disappearance, declined to be interviewed by the Metropolitan Police before his pending release from prison in Germany. The Metropolitan Police submitted a formal international letter of request to question him but received no cooperation. Madeleine disappeared in 2007 from a holiday apartment in Praia da Luz at age three after being put to bed by her parents. Scotland Yard's Operation Grange continues alongside investigations led by German and Portuguese authorities. Police in all three countries have conducted searches in Portugal, including near Lagos and the Barragem do Arade reservoir where Brueckner spent time. Officers will continue investigative work and support to the family.
