Madeleine McCann suspect's appeal against conviction for raping American woman in 2005 'likely invalid'
The prime suspect in the Madeleine McCann case has been advised his appeal against a rape conviction is invalid by a European Court of Justice official.
He was extradited from Italy to Germany two years ago on drug trafficking charges. But he was later convicted of a separate crime, the rape of the 72-year-old American woman in Portugal, and was sentenced to seven years in prison. Advocate General Michal Bobek said the appeal did not appear valid because Christian B left Germany voluntarily after his first extradition from Portugal, so Portuguese authorities have no role to play.If that appeal is successful, Christian B could go free next year, at the end of his jail term for the drug offence. He has not been convicted of any crime related to Madeleine McCann.
