The primary suspect linked to the disappearance of Madeleine McCann has attempted to approach a prosecutor in Germany.
Christian Brueckner was observed trying to gain access to the offices of attorney Hans Christian Wolters – who alleges having proof that Brueckner abducted and killed the young British girl.
Brueckner has asserted his innocence ever since Madeleine went missing from her family’s vacation residence in Praia da Luz, Portugal, in 2007.
The previously convicted sex offender was released from prison just a fortnight ago following a seven-year sentence for assaulting an elderly woman.
During an interview with Sky News outside the courthouse, he stated: “The prosecutor declined to meet me, but I informed his representative that I sought assistance in reclaiming my life.
“I am relentlessly pursued by the media, and he is to blame. I want him to acknowledge his role.
“I was informed that they couldn’t offer any help. I had been convicted and subsequently released, hence I was no longer their responsibility.”
On September 17, the 49-year-old was transferred from prison to a location in Germany where he is now residing in municipal housing.
Brueckner’s primary attorney, Dr. Fulscher, previously criticized the Braunschweig public prosecutor’s office in Germany, stating to Stern magazine: “The public prosecutor’s office in Braunschweig has fueled a prejudicial media campaign.
“It has publicly claimed to have the right suspect without presenting sufficient evidence or allowing my client to review the case files.
“From a constitutional perspective, I find this highly questionable. In my view, the Braunschweig public prosecutor’s office has hindered any chance of rehabilitation.”
Recently, images surfaced of the rundown apartment where Brueckner had been residing before fleeing when his location was disclosed in a local WhatsApp group.
The convicted sex offender vacated the hideout after his address was leaked on a local WhatsApp group. Outraged locals shouted derogatory remarks as police escorted him from the ground-level flat.
Authorities carried two bags containing Brueckner’s possessions as he walked to a police vehicle with hands in his pockets. Brueckner was released from custody on September 17 and spent slightly over a week in the sparsely furnished apartment.
Photographs depict his meager belongings consisting of a single bed, a chair, and a desk with a lamp. Other rooms in the apartment were entirely vacant.
