German prosecutors are seeking a 15-year prison sentence for Christian Brückner, the prime suspect in Madeleine McCann's disappearance, for unrelated sex crimes. Brückner faces charges of rape and sexual abuse dating from 2000 to 2017. Prosecutor Ute Lindemann described him as a 'dangerous, psychopathic sadist' and expressed concerns about his potential to reoffend. Brückner's trial is ongoing in Braunschweig, Germany, and he has previously been linked to McCann's case, although he denies involvement. Teljes cikk (bbc.com europe)
