Madeleine McCann suspect Christian Brueckner’s lawyer has sensationally admitted he understands ‘concerns’ over his client’s sickening child sex and rape convictions.
Brueckner, 48, prime suspect for the ‘murder and abduction’ of Madeleine was released from jail earlier this week after serving six years of a seven-year sentence for rape and there are serious fears he will reoffend.
His lawyer Friedrich Fulscher confirmed he had refused to take part in a programme to rehabilitate sex offenders because Brueckner felt he was ‘unrightly convicted’ of the horrific attack on a 72-year-old woman.
The sickening assault on the American pensioner took place in 2005 in Praia da Luz on Portugal’s Algarve coast just two years before then three-year-old Madeliene vanished from the same resort, and he has convictions for child abuse dating back to the 90s.
When asked if he understood people’s fears Mr Fulscher said:’ Certainly. Fear is often a very irrational feeling. But given Christian Brueckner’s past one can certainly find rational reasons for such concern.’
