Madeleine McCann’s parents faced a significant setback today as the primary suspect, Christian Brueckner, was released from prison. Brueckner, a convicted sex offender, completed a seven-year sentence for assaulting a pensioner. Authorities had hoped to charge him in connection with Madeleine’s disappearance before his release, but they missed the deadline. Brueckner, known for his lack of remorse, left Sehnde prison near Hannover this morning under police supervision, wearing an ankle monitor and without his passport. He left swiftly in his lawyer’s car, shielded from the media, as police ensured his safe departure. Despite ongoing investigations and legal restrictions, Brueckner continues to deny involvement in Madeleine’s disappearance.
