“I can confirm that a search is underway to investigate the Maddie McCann case,” Julia Meyer, prosecutor at Braunschweig in Lower Saxony, told AFP when asked to confirm police coverage of the local newspaper Hannoversche Allgemeine Zeitung.
In early June, the police gave hope that they would reveal the secret of the disappearance of a three-year-old girl, who had not been revealed for many years, when they announced an investigation into the possible links of a 43-year-old German citizen with his disappearance in 2007 in Praia da Luso, Portugal.
The suspect, who was identified by Christian media as Christian B., had previously been convicted of sexual crimes, including sexual abuse and rape.
Prosecutors said they adhere to the presumption that Madeleine is dead, although British officials continue to investigate her case as a case of human disappearance.
Braunschweig District Attorney Hans Christian Wolters said last month that officials had written a letter to Madeleine’s family, but did not disclose the content of the letter.
He also confirmed that Christian B. had requested the early release from Kiel prison, where he is currently serving a sentence for drug trafficking.
However, the suspect will not be released prematurely because an arrest warrant has been issued for the rape of an elderly woman in Portugal, the prosecutor said.
A British girl, Madeleine, also known as Maddie, went missing on May 3, 2007, just before her fourth birthday, when her parents put her to sleep in a hotel room and dined with friends at a party restaurant.
His searches have been one of the highest in recent years.
Despite many suspects and theories about what might have happened, no one has yet been convicted of the girl’s disappearance, no one has found a trace of it.
