The suspect at the centre of the latest developments in the Madeleine McCann case has an alibi which is backed by several people, a TV show has claimed. Convicted rapist Christian Brueckner has been named as an arguido - suspect - by Portuguese authorities who are continuing to investigate the disappearance of Maddie, which took place during a family holiday in Praia da Luz on May 3, 2007.

A suspect has been finally declared in the cold case of the missing toddler Madeleine McCann.

Christian B has reportedly told a TV show he has an alibi for the disappearance of Madeleine McCann. The German convicted sex offender was this week named an official suspect by the authorities.

The parents of missing Madeleine McCann have welcomed news Portuguese authorities have declared a German national as a 'formal suspect' in the case - and said they 'have not given up hope' that she's still alive. Christian Brueckner, 44, was identified as a murder suspect by German prosecutors in June 2020, but he has not been charged since then.

Madeleine McCann’s parents remain hopeful she is alive as a new formal suspect has been announced.Kate and Gerry McCann have reacted to news of Portuguese authorities declaring a German man has been made a formal suspect in relation to her disappearance from Praia da Luz in May 2007.They said: “Even thought the possibility may be slim, we have not given up hope that Madeleine is still alive and we will be reunited with her.”Convicted paedophile Christian Brueckner, known in Germany as Christian B is now a formal suspect, or “arguido” but has not yet been charged with anything.In a full statement signed "Kate & Gerry", the parents say: "We welcome the news that the Portuguese authorities have declared a German man an 'arguido' in relation to the disappearance of our beloved daughter Madeleine."This reflects progress in the investigation, being conducted by the Portuguese, German and British authorities.

Convicted paedo Christian Brueckner has been named a suspect in the Madeleine McCann investigation by Portuguese police.Portuguese police have informed Brueckner - known in Germany as Christian B - that he is now a formal suspect, or “arguido”, however at the time of writing he has not been charged with anything.Madeleine McCann went missing from a rented holiday apartment in Praia da Luz in May 2007.Brueckner's lawyer Friedrich Fuelscher said: “The step taken by the Portuguese authorities should not be overrated."I assume that this measure is a procedural artifice to stop the statute of limitations threatening in a few days."In Portugal, there is a 15-year limit to prosecute serious crimes, which is understood to have prompted the country's police into the move so they may "keep their options open".German prosecutor Hans Christian Wolters told Sky News that the move was "apparently only for formal reasons, to prevent a statute of limitations in Portugal".On May 3 it will be 15 years since Madeleine was reported missing - which is the limit in Portugal for declaring someone a person of interest.Christian B is a two-time convicted child abuser who is thought to have travelled between Germany and Praia da Luz in a campervan for multiple years leading up to the disappearance of Madeleine.He is currently in prison for drug offences and has been given a seven-year sentence in Germany after being convicted of raping a 72-year-old woman in 2005 - he has said that in the past he survived by dealing drugs.The rape occurred in the same town that Maddie McCann went missing in.In 2020 German police said they were investigating a man, Christian B, in connection with the McCann case.The German-born drifter in his 40s entered into the

Christian Brueckner an official suspect over Madeleine McCann’s disappearance in their first formal statement on the decision.It is believed that the move, making Brueckner, 44, an “arguido”, is linked to the upcoming 15th anniversary of the young girl’s abduction.An "arguido" - normally translated as "named suspect" or "formal suspect" - is someone who is treated by Portuguese police as more than a witness, but has not been arrested or charged.Under Portuguese law, a person declared an arguido - "arguida" in the case of a woman - has legal protection that is not extended to a witness, including the right to remain silent during questioning and the right to legal representation.This has important legal ramifications, because whilst in Germany there is no time limit for a murder charge, in Portgual there is a strict 15-year limit.Yesterday evening (April 21) Portuguese sources said Brueckner had been informed of his new ‘arguido’ status in Oldenburg Prison in northern Germany where he is serving seven years for raping an American pensioner in 2005 in Praia da Luz.It gives Portuguese authorities the ability to charge him further down the line by effectively ‘stopping the clock’ on the time limitation for bringing a prosecution if German prosecutors decide they haven’t got enough evidence to charge the paedophile they regard as their prime suspect.Brueckner’s lawyer, Friedrich Fuelscher said: "The step taken by the Portuguese authorities should not be overrated.“Without knowing the Portuguese legal situation in detail, I assume that this measure is a procedural artifice to stop the statute of limitations threatening in a few days."The country’s PJ police force has yet to officially comment.Portuguese sources have said the
