The 45-year-old has been the main suspect in McCann's case for two years but so far prosecutors haven't charged him. Brueckner, who denies any involvement in McCann's disappearance, was officially named as a suspect around the 15th anniversary of her disappearance.
Brueckner has accused German authorities of trying to frame him for other crimes allegedly committed in Portugal with authorities just weeks away from charging him with raping an Irish tour rep in the Algarve in 2004, the Mirror reported. They also suspect him of involvement in two indecent exposure cases in Portugal involving children, the newspaper claimed. Brueckner is said to have launched an attack on Hans Christian Wolters in a prison letter, urging investigators to "put up or shut up", the Mirror reported. Wolters has repeatedly said authorities have proof that Maddie was snatched by Brueckner. In a letter written in pencil, Brueckner reportedly said his life has been destroyed by “Hitler-like behaviour” and said Wolters would only communicate with him "by using the media". Likening Wolters to Hitler, he added: “I can’t give any answer why a German prosecutor can act like that in the McCann case. “The only answer I find for myself is that Hitler is still everywhere. The prosecutor has been sowing for two years now and he knows that there can’t be a return.” Brueckner claimed Wolters is launching further inquiries against him to "to cover the blame he starts more and more inquiries against me, all of them happened many years ago and far away from Germany". The prisoner also complained about prison conditions saying that he was in isolation, locked up 24-hours a day, "with no tv". Related links:Explore more on these topics:
