"Christian Brueckner has been named the prime suspect in the disappearance of Madeleine McCann, but has not faced any charges over the case either in the UK or abroad."
"Despite Madeleine's case officially being a missing persons investigation, a small team of officers are building a file of evidence for the CPS in relation to her suspected abduction and murder."
"The German constitution prevents the extradition of its citizens to non-EU countries, which could complicate efforts to bring Brueckner to the UK."
"Brueckner has a string of sexual offence convictions, including for child sex abuse and the rape of a 72-year-old American woman, and was released from prison in 2025."
Metropolitan Police are working to bring Christian Brueckner, the prime suspect in the abduction and murder of Madeleine McCann, to the UK for trial. Brueckner has not faced charges related to the case. A small team is compiling evidence for the Crown Prosecution Service. However, extraditing Brueckner may be complicated due to the German constitution, which prohibits extradition of its citizens to non-EU countries. Brueckner has a history of sexual offenses and was living near the McCanns when Madeleine disappeared in 2007.
