German police have discovered an email account linking Christian Brueckner to the disappearance of Madeleine McCann, investigators have claimed.
Titus Stampa, a senior detective, told a court in Germany that investigators had found emails on a Hotmail account used by Brueckner that linked him directly to the case.
The bombshell revelation is the first time an investigating official has alluded to evidence directly connecting Brueckner to the three-year-old’s disappearance from a holiday apartment in Praia da Luz, Portugal in 2007.
But Stampa said he was unable to share details of the evidence as it was ‘related to the killing’ of young Madeleine.
Brueckner, the prime suspect, is currently on trial in Germany for unrelated sex crimes. He denies involvement in Madeleine’s 2007 disappearance.
Speaking at the Braunschweig regional court in Germany, Stampa referred to the ‘murder’ email account allegedly possessed by Brueckner.
‘An external hard drive is also belonging to the killing case – and I am not allowed to talk about it.’
He declined to say whether emails recovered included photos or videos implicating the suspect, as reported by The Mirror.
