A television interview makes you sit down and take notes. There are also new accusations against the German defendant in the Maddie case. Her attorney claims to have compiled exonerating material.
Her case caused a sensation around the world: Madeleine McCann disappeared more than 13 years ago.
Epa
In the case of Madeleine McCann, who disappeared 13 years ago in Praia da Luz, Portugal, there is movement again. In an interview with the Portuguese television network RTP, Braunschweig prosecutor Hans Christian Wolters said there was “material evidence” of the death of the girl, who was just under four years old at the time.
When asked by the interviewer if the prosecutor had such evidence, Wolters answered “yes” twice. In response to further questions about the type of evidence, for example if there is video material, the lawyer says: “I cannot say anything about the things we have. Therefore, I cannot deny or confirm that now. “
Possible reports of victims
Meanwhile, prosecutors have launched new investigations against the German defendant in the Maddie case. A possible victim reported to British media in several countries after witnesses were called, Wolters said Monday. He is now being investigated on suspicion of raping a young Irish woman in the Algarve in 2004, he confirmed. The Braunschweiger Zeitung had initially reported on the new proceedings against Christian B., 43 years old. The suspect is currently detained in Kiel for drug trafficking.
In early June, the Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA) and the Braunschweig prosecutor announced that they were investigating a German murder suspect in the case of the missing British woman Madeleine McCann. He is a sex offender with multiple criminal records. A call for witnesses, to which a report on the ZDF program “Aktenzeichen XY … ungelöst” was shown, provoked reactions and reports in several countries.
Meanwhile, the defendant’s lawyer has spoken in the British media about evidence that will exonerate his client. Friedrich Fülscher told the British tabloid The Sun that he could not go into details, but that the evidence was substantial and included someone who had provided him with crucial information. “If I reveal it, you will fall out of your chair.” He was also confident that the case would not go to court and that the UK media would lose interest in his client.
