Investigations into Madi McCann’s case are still ongoing

At the end of May there was the first after a long time Requests In the Madi case, German and Portuguese police investigators roamed the area around the Aradi reservoir in southern Portugal for several days. Soil samples were taken and potential evidence secured. Even if the attorney general’s office hasn’t announced any concrete findings yet, Attorney General Christian Wolters has spoken again.

According to the British newspaper “Mirror”, Walters assumes that the investigation may continue until 2026. Then the main suspect will be Christian Bruckner, who is currently serving a prison sentence but has been released. As the Braunschweig Prosecutor’s website says: “It is expected that the investigations conducted here in Braunschweig against the 46-year-old suspect will continue for a long time.”

The plaintiffs wanted it to be faster

The goal of the prosecutor’s office was in fact to arrest Bruckner, who had already been accused of multiple rapes, while he was in prison. Attorney General Walters has repeatedly maintained that he is sure Bruckner is the culprit. Bruckner was reportedly at the resort from which Madeleine McCann disappeared, according to phone records. Bruckner himself denies any involvement in the case and speaks of a witch hunt.

For “tactical reasons,” the police did not announce exactly what they were looking for in the Arad tank. In the lake, a hole was dug 60 cm deep, and soil samples were taken from it.
