The prime suspect in Madeleine McCann’s disappearance has bragged that German Police will not be able to link him to the missing toddler’s disappearance at all without a body, it has been claimed.<\/p>\n
In a letter allegedly penned by Christian Brueckner from his German jail cell, where he is currently locked up for a string of unrelated sex offences, the convicted paedophile is seen to taunt investigators,saying: \u201cAre there any traces of her in my vehicle? Any other traces of her in my posession? Photos? Is there a body? No, no no.\u201d<\/p>\n
The bombshell missive has been published by the Sun, who allege the 48-year-old also wrote: \u201cthe dropping of the\u00a0investigation\u00a0will hit the world like a bomb\u201d.<\/p>\n
Police wrapped up a three-day search in Portugal for incriminating evidence on Thursday, after combing through scrubland close to where Madeleine disappeared aged three from a holiday villa in Praia da Luz in 2007.<\/p>\n
While German proescutors appear conviced of Brueckner’s involvement in the crime, they still do not have enough evidence to link him with Madeleine’s abduction.<\/p>\n
The chief suspct is aware that onus is very much on the prosecution to prove his guilt and appears increasingly confident he will not be charged.<\/p>\n
In previous letters, he wrote: “You know, of course, that in\u00a0Germany\u00a0you don\u2019t have to prove your innocence as a suspect, but that the public prosecutor\u2019s office has to prove that you are clearly guilty.<\/p>\n
\u201cEven the slightest doubt leads to an acquittal, if there is a\u00a0court\u00a0hearing at all.\u201d<\/p>\n
Brueckner even claims the case against him is built on \u201cpurchased witnesses\u201d and reveals his awareness of his global notoriety.<\/p>\n
He added: \u201cNow, my path is paved with misjudgements, so to speak, but from now on the whole world is watching.<\/p>\n
\u201cNot even the Braunschweig regional court will now dare to make an obvious misjudgement.<\/p>\n
\u201cEven if an attempt is currently being made to create a shocking overall picture of me through purchased witnesses, it is the important questions, the decisive questions that can never be answered with \u2018yes\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n
