Madeleine McCann’s abductor has got away with it because the police’s prime suspect is innocent, according to Britain’s top TV investigator.Mark Williams-Thomas, who exposed Jimmy Savile as a paedophile, said he believes Christian Brueckner had nothing to do with the disappearance of the then-three-year-old Brit girl in Portugal in 2007.He said the police probe into the case was flawed, had failed to unearth any evidence linking Brueckner to the crime and ignored his alibi.Portuguese police made him an arguido - or formal suspect - just before the 15th anniversary of Madeleine’s disappearance on May 3 this year. That allows them to bypass Portugal’s statute of limitations - which bars prosecutions for serious crimes more than 15 years after the event - and carry on investigating him.But if Brueckner is not the culprit, as Williams-Thomas says, that means the real abductor has got away with it and can never be prosecuted.The telly sleuth told the Daily Star: "In Portugal after 15 years any serious crime including murder can’t be prosecuted."Christian Brueckner was made an arguido to get around this.
