DEVELOPING: Christian Brückner Rejects Met Police Interview in Madeleine McCann Case

Breaking News: Christian Brückner Rejects Met Police Interview in Madeleine McCann Case Christian Brückner, the prime suspect in the disappearance of Madeleine McCann, has declined to be interviewed by the Metropolitan Police. The interview request was made ahead of his imminent release from a German prison, where he is serving a seven-year sentence for rape. The 49-year-old German national remains a suspect in the Met Police's investigation into Madeline's disappearance, which occurred in Praia da Luz, Portugal in 2007. Brückner has never been charged in connection with Madeleine's case and denies involvement. This rejection is a significant development in the ongoing investigation, as it means that the Met Police will not be able to question Brückner further about his alleged role in Madeline's disappearance. Brückner could potentially be released from prison on Wednesday, but it remains unclear how this decision will impact the investigation. The Metropolitan Police have confirmed that they are continuing to pursue all leads and lines of inquiry into Madeleine's case.
