The main suspect in the disappearance of Madeleine McCann has been released from a German prison.⁣ ⁣ Christian Brueckner was named as the main suspect in 2020, when he was already serving a seven-year sentence for raping a 72-year-old woman in the same part of Portugal's Algarve region where McCann went missing.⁣ ⁣ Police in Britain, Germany and Portugal, who have identified Brueckner as their main suspect, have long sought evidence to link him conclusively to the case. Portuguese and German police spent four days digging for evidence in the Algarve in June 2025.⁣ ⁣ McCann disappeared from her bedroom in a holiday resort as her parents dined meters away in 2007.⁣ ⁣ #madeleinemccann
