The Met Police is reportedly trying to bring the suspect in the Madeleine McCann case to the UK for trial – but a Brexit-related rule may put a stop to it.
The Daily Telegraph reported on Tuesday that a senior officer wants to get German Christian Brueckner back here to stand trial for the girl’s alleged abduction and murder.
The force would like to have Brueckner, a convicted sex offender, stand trial at the Old Bailey and want to get the process started in time for the 20th anniversary of Madeleine’s disappearance next year.
Madeleine was three years old when she went missing from a resort in Portugal in 2007, during a family holiday.
Brueckner was living a mile away from the Praia da Luz hotel at the time.
