Christian Brückner, the main suspect in the Madeleine McCann case, has been released from a German prison.
He served a seven-year sentence for a separate and unrelated rape conviction. He is now under strict supervision, including an electronic ankle monitor, having had his passport surrendered.
Although he is free from prison, German prosecutors still consider him the prime suspect in the McCann disappearance and will continue investigating the case.
German national Christian Brueckner was named a suspect in the 2007 disappearance of British toddler Madeleine McCann.
Brueckner, 44, had been and is currently serving a 7-year prison sentence in Germany for raping an elderly American woman in 2005. Three-year-old Maddie went missing from a vacation rental while on a family holiday in Portugal.
A Portuguese prosecutor in Braunschweig, Germany, has been pursuing a case against Brueckner since June 2020.
