Christian Brueckner has found himself in court once again, but this time it is not in relation to the infamous disappearance of Madeleine McCann. German authorities have recently uncovered an email account that directly links Brueckner, the main suspect in the case, to the young girl's vanishing. Titus Stampa, a senior detective working on the McCann case, revealed in court that they had discovered emails on a Hotmail account belonging to Brueckner that provide evidence connecting him to Madeleine's disappearance.
Currently, Brueckner is on trial in Germany for unrelated charges of sexual offenses. He has consistently denied any involvement in Madeleine's case, which dates back to 2007 when she went missing from a resort in Portugal. However, Mr. Stampa was unable to share the details of the evidence found on the email account as it pertains to the murder of Madeleine McCann. This is the first time an official working on the case has confirmed the existence of evidence connecting Brueckner to the disappearance.
During his testimony at the Braunschweig regional court in Germany, Mr. Stampa mentioned an email account that Brueckner allegedly used for "murder" purposes. Photos or videos that could potentially implicate Brueckner were not mentioned. However, Mr. Stampa did reveal that authorities had discovered a second account that Brueckner, a convicted pedophile, had used to share media of child abuse with other abusers. The detective also stated that Brueckner had deleted all emails from this account in early 2007, around the same time Madeleine disappeared.
It was reported that prosecutors were granted access to these emails after they made a request to Microsoft in 2019. According to LBC, Brueckner had attempted to delete multiple emails from this account, which he had shared with other pedophiles. The contents of these emails reportedly included videos of child abuse. Mr. Stampa recalled, "I can remember that things were 'massively' deleted in the inbox. There was nothing in there from January 2007."
German and Portuguese authorities had spent three years investigating Brueckner before officially naming him as a suspect in 2020. He is currently on trial for various charges of rape and sexual assault, all of which allegedly took place in Portugal. Brueckner has denied all accusations against him, and the trial is ongoing. This is a developing story, and updates will be provided as they become available. Stay tuned for more information.
