The paedo, 48,<\/a> has said he was living in a camper van and dealing drugs when Madeleine vanished<\/a> from Praia da Luz<\/a>, Portugal<\/a>, in 2007.<\/p>\n

A land registration document shows that by 2008 he paid \u00a319,000 for a former box factory in east Germany<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Another document reveals he upgraded his van to a Winnebago<\/a> costing up to \u00a320,000 by March 2008.<\/p>\n

And it has previously been reported he had his buck teeth fixed for \u00a36,000 in September 2007.<\/p>\n

A Praia local who knew Brueckner<\/a> for years said: \u201cHe didn\u2019t pay rent for his bedsit cottage, he just covered bills for the owner.\u201d<\/p>\n

A source close to the case in Germany, added: \u201cHe admits dealing drugs in one breath – then claims he is innocent of all claims in another.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you look at his spending it is impossible to see where the money came from without linking it to crime.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhatever he was up to, he must have had a serious influx of cash before 2008 when his spending was unprecedented.\u201d<\/p>\n

Brueckner is in a German jail for rape and is due for release in September. <\/p>\n

He has never been formally charged over Madeleine\u2019s disappearance<\/a> and denies any involvement.<\/p>\n

Madeleine McCann cops call off search as trawl of Brueckner\u2019s \u2018rat run\u2019 turns up nothing<\/p>\n

A three-day search for clues in Praia<\/a> drew a blank last week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"THE man suspected of killing three-year-old Madeleine McCann is said to have spent \u00a345,000 in the year after…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":171927,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[30,188,77,560,1824,36005,23,529,3046,184,118,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-171926","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-entertainment","8":"tag-courts","9":"tag-crime","10":"tag-entertainment","11":"tag-exclusives","12":"tag-germany","13":"tag-madeleine-mccann","14":"tag-missing-person","15":"tag-police","16":"tag-portugal","17":"tag-section-newsworld-news","18":"tag-the-sun-newspaper","19":"tag-uk","20":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114656965175407202","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/171926","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=171926"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/171926\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/171927"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=171926"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=171926"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=171926"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
