German prosecutors called Wednesday for a sexual offenses conviction and a 15-year prison sentence for a man who is also under investigation separately in the disappearance of British toddler Madeleine McCann.
The 47-year-old German national, who has been identified by local media as Christian Brueckner, is on trial at the Braunschweig state court in northern Germany over offenses he is alleged to have committed in Portugal between 2000 and 2017. Closing arguments in the trial that opened in February started on Wednesday.
The suspect hasn’t been charged in the McCann case, in which he is under investigation on suspicion of murder. He spent many years in Portugal, including in the resort of Praia da Luz around the time of Madeleine’s disappearance there in 2007. He has denied any involvement in her disappearance. He is currently serving a seven-year prison sentence in Germany for a rape he committed in Portugal in 2005.
