Madeleine McCann suspect Christian Brueckner<\/a> is said to have set up a bleating GoFundMe fundraising scheme, begging people to send him money so he can leave Germany.<\/p>\n The convicted rapist and leading suspect in the disappearance of Madeleine <\/a>launched the fundraiser following his release from prison. Brueckner had been serving a seven-year sentence for the rape of a 72-year-old woman in Portugal’s Algarve region, where little Madeleine went missing.<\/p>\n He previously spoke of setting up the fundraiser, telling a friend<\/a>: “If people want me to leave then they make this possible by helping me to this end.”<\/p>\n Get the latest news sent straight to your messages by joining our WhatsApp community today.<\/p>\n You’ll receive daily updates on breaking news as well as the top headlines across Scotland.<\/p>\n No one will be able to see who is signed up and no one can send messages except the Daily Record team.<\/p>\n All you have to do is click here<\/a>, select ‘Join Community’ and you’re in!<\/p>\n We also treat our community members to special offers, promotions, and adverts from us and our partners.

Finally, a break from the constant wave of suspicion, the prejudgments, and the gruelling witch hunt, and into sunny nowhere. The only thing I’m missing is the money.”<\/p>\n He said for 10 Euros, people could fund his coffee at the airport and that 50 Euros could see him snapping up a one-way ticket to a country <\/a>without the jurisdiction of Germany’s Federal Criminal Police Office.<\/p>\n![\"Brueckner](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/0_CapturePNG.png\")
