In a modest apartment in the quiet town of Neumunster, Germany, convicted sex offender Christian Brueckner temporarily resided after his recent release from prison. The residents of the area expressed their outrage as Brueckner was escorted by the police from the ground floor flat, carrying only a few personal belongings in two carrier bags.
The flat, sparsely furnished with just a single bed, a chair, and a desk with a lamp, served as Brueckner’s living space during his brief stay. The 48-year-old, a prime suspect in the disappearance of three-year-old Madeleine McCann in 2007 while she was on vacation with her family in Portugal, denies any involvement in the case.
Having served seven years in prison for a previous crime, Brueckner was released and found temporary accommodation in Neumunster. Despite being considered a suspect in the Madeleine McCann case by the German police, no arrest warrant has been issued due to lack of concrete evidence linking him to the crime.
Following his release, Brueckner, now equipped with an ankle tag and without a passport, expressed concerns about his safety after being recognized in public. His legal team is contemplating relocating him to Munich and exploring legal options to leave Germany without facing extradition to European countries or the United Kingdom.
