Rape investigation
Prosecutors have launched new investigations against the German defendant in the Maddie case. A possible victim reported to the British media in several countries after the call for witnesses, Hans Christian Wolters of the Braunschweig prosecutor’s office said on Monday. He is now being investigated on suspicion of raping a young Irish woman in the Algarve in 2004, he confirmed.
The Braunschweig Zeitung had initially reported on the new proceedings against the 43-year-old. In early June, the Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA) and the Braunschweig prosecutor announced that they were investigating the German woman on suspicion of murder in the case of the missing British woman Madeleine McCann. A summons of witnesses to which a contribution was made in the ZDF-The “Aktenzeichen XY … unsolved” program was executed, provoked reactions and notices in several countries.
