An ally of Madeleine McCann suspect Christian Brueckner has been found, but has said he won’t speak to the police.
The man, known as Ralph H, was tracked down by The Sun who tried to ask him some questions about whether he would speak about the disappearance of Madeleine McCann.
Ralph H said: “I will never speak to you, I will never speak to the police. I will never speak to the state police, I will never speak to the BKA.”
The BKA are Germany’s equivalent of the FBI who reportedly want to speak to Ralph H about the disappearance of Madeleine, also known as Maddie, on May 3, 2007.
Speaking about Ralph H, prosecutor Christian Wolters said that he “could be interesting to talk to”.
Brueckner, 47, rented a blue house at the Kennelblick allotment where Ralph H, 56, lives in Germany. A neighbour claimed that he knows “everything” about Brueckner’s life.
Brueckner is currently on trial in Germany. He has been charged with three rapes and two counts of child sexual abuse allegedly committed between 2000 and 2017, unrelated to the disappearance of Madeleine McCann.
If Brueckner is found guilty, he could face 15 years in prison. If he isn’t, he could be released in less than two years after serving a seven-year sentence for rape.
Brueckner has repeatedly denied any involvement in the disappearance of Madeleine McCann from the Praia da Luz resort in Portugal. His lawyer, Friedrich Fulscher said: “Since June 2020, our client Christian Brueckner has been under constant worldwide media fire.
“According to the Braunschweig public prosecutor’s office, he allegedly abducted and murdered Madeleine Beth McCann. The investigating authorities have been repeating this theory to the media like a prayer wheel.
“The greatest challenge for the court in these proceedings will be to free itself from these ulterior motives when investigating the procedural truth and assessing the evidence with regard to the accusations levelled.”
