German Police Drop Shocking New Clue in Madeleine McCann Case—Are British Authorities Hiding the Truth?
In October 2024, prosecutors called for him to be jailed for a further 15 years. In a troubling development, presiding judge Uta Engemann said that Brueckner could “not be convicted of the acts he’s accused of” because of “unreliable testimony” and a lack of forensic evidence.

With his 2005 sentence running out, prosecutors sought to extend his punishment by proving his guilt in five other cases of r**e and child a**se allegedly committed by Brueckner between 2000 and 2017.

Engemann dismissed the evidence and witness testimony presented at the time, reportedly labeling them as “almost worthless.” While she recognized her verdict could be “unsatisfactory” for the victims, she stressed she was bound by an oath of impartiality.

A source close to the case told the Telegraph that the development left prosecutors with no other option but to play the “only ace left up their sleeve” for keeping Brueckner behind bars—his alleged involvement in Madeleine’s passing.
“That will create a new arrest warrant and he’ll be stuck behind bars,” the source said. “Madeleine prosecutors still have firepower they can rely on but they are nervous.
“As soon as Brueckner is free he will disappear and likely never be seen again.”
“I feel for his next victim.” Netizens took to social media to express their thoughts on the case
