The lawyer for a Madeleine McCann prime suspect has slammed claims new forensic evidence has been uncovered
Picture: AlamyThe lawyer for Christian Brueckner has slammed new evidence that a German prosecutor says proves the jailed paedophile killed Madeleine McCann as "bulls**t".Hans Christian Wolters, who is leading the investigation with Portuguese and British detectives, told Portuguese TV on Tuesday that German investigators had discovered "evidence" of Madeleine in a campervan belonging to prime suspect Brueckner.
"Are fibres not forensic evidence? For almost two years we have tried to access the Madeleine McCann files from the prosecutor so we can see the evidence but so far nothing. "The position is still the same, he denies any involvement and we will not be saying anything further until we see the files." The development comes 15 years after Madeleine vanished from the apartment she slept in with her two younger siblings in Praia da Luz, Portugal, while her parents visited a nearby tapas bar.Last month Brueckner, 45, was made an "arguido", a Portuguese legal designation which elevates a witness to the status of a named or formal suspect.
Brueckner, who was identified as a murder suspect by German prosecutors in June 2020, has reportedly denied any involvement in the case and has not been charged.
