Christian Brueckner is currently facing trial for several sexual offences in Braunschweig, Germany, alongside five other suspects. The man in question has been linked to the abduction of Madeleine McCann, a British girl who disappeared from her family's holiday apartment in Portugal in 2007. A former cellmate of Brueckner's has come forward, revealing that Brueckner had allegedly confessed to him about abducting a child in the Algarve region of Portugal.
According to Laurentiu Codin, Brueckner had shared with him that he had stolen from a hotel in Portugal and had come across an open window while looking for money. Brueckner allegedly took the opportunity to snatch a child, but when the police and dogs swarmed the area two hours later, he fled the scene. Codin also mentioned that Brueckner had asked him if DNA could be taken from bones buried underground, indicating that he may have disposed of his victims in this manner.
Brueckner, a convicted paedophile, had allegedly confided in Codin while they were both in the same prison. Codin stated that Brueckner had also mentioned another incident where he had taken a young girl in his bus, but had not killed her. When asked by the judge, Codin estimated the victim's age to be very young, indicating that she was a child.
It is important to note that Brueckner has not been charged in connection with Madeleine's disappearance and has denied any involvement. However, he was named as an official suspect in the case in 2020, after being investigated by German and Portuguese police for three years. Currently, Brueckner is on trial for multiple rape and sexual assault charges, all of which are said to have taken place in Portugal. The trial is ongoing and Brueckner maintains his innocence.
