The primary suspect linked to the disappearance of Madeleine McCann attempted to approach a prosecutor in Germany.
Christian Brueckner was spotted trying to gain access to the office of lawyer Hans Christian Wolters, who asserts having evidence implicating him in the abduction and murder of the British child.
Brueckner has consistently proclaimed his innocence since Madeleine vanished from her family’s vacation apartment in Praia da Luz, Portugal, in 2007.
The convicted sex offender was recently released from prison after serving a seven-year sentence for assaulting an elderly woman.
Speaking to Sky News outside the courthouse, he expressed, “The prosecutor declined to meet with me, but I informed his representative of my desire to reclaim my life.
“The media’s relentless pursuit of me is his responsibility. I want him to acknowledge this.
“I was informed they couldn’t assist me. I had been convicted, served my time, and was no longer under their jurisdiction.”
On September 17, the 49-year-old was transported from prison to a new residence in Germany where he now resides in government housing.
Brueckner’s primary attorney, Dr. Fulscher, previously criticized the Braunschweig public prosecutor’s office for allegedly prejudicing the case in the media without adequate evidence or transparency.
Images of the modest flat where Brueckner resided before his relocation were recently revealed after his location was disclosed on a local WhatsApp group.
Following the leak, angry locals confronted Brueckner as he was escorted from the ground floor apartment by police, shouting derogatory remarks. Brueckner, visibly smirking, was seen carrying only two bags containing his belongings as he was led to a police vehicle.
Released from prison on September 17, Brueckner spent just over a week in the sparsely furnished apartment, equipped with minimal furnishings including a single bed, a chair, and a desk with a lamp, while other rooms remained empty.
