Having a history of sexual crimes and having been in Portugal just as the 4-year-old girl disappeared, public opinion and authorities considered that Brueckner could be the culprit in the enigmatic case that remains unsolved after 17 years. . old.
And now the German media Picture published an article in which The suspect’s former prison companion, identified as Laurentiu Codin, revealed that Brueckner confessed to the crime while they shared time together in prison.
This is what the condemned man admitted.
Who is Christian Brueckner, suspect in the Madeleine McCann affair
Christian Brueckner is a 47-year-old German accused of five sex crimes at the regional court in Braunschweig, Germany. Of these, three correspond to cases of rape and two to cases of sexual abuse of children, all in the Algrave region.
At present, is serving time for the rape of an American woman in Praia da Luz, Portugal.
It was during one of the hearings of his trial for these causes that His fellow inmate, Laurentiu Codin, said that Brueckner had confessed to Madeleine McCann’s crime to him.
It should be noted that Brueckner He has not yet been formally accused of being the kidnapper and murderer of the young girl. However, the prosecutor in charge of his other cases is convinced that he is the author.
Who is Laurentiu Codin, Brueckner’s prison companion
Laurentiu Codin, a 50-year-old Romanian and former prison companion of Christian Brueckner, is a prosecution witness in the trial against the German.
In 2019 he coincided in the same prison of Brueckner and, according to their accounts, they spent time together at different points during their time in prison. He assured that the Germans approached him, believing that they shared a similar criminal profile.
It was in this situation of trust that Brueckner would have revealed various crimes to him.
In 2020, Laurentiu Codin reported to the police various rapes that Brueckner bragged about in prison: all of them had occurred in Portugal.
His testimony partly allowed Brueckner to be sentenced to seven years in prison, since the crime against the American Diana M. (who was then 72 years old) in Praia da Luz in 2005 could be confirmed.
NOW, As part of the Brueckner trial, an investigation is opened into the rape of Irish woman Hazel B. (40), which allegedly took place in Praia da Rocha in 2004.
It is in this context that Laurentiu Codin appears to be an important witness.
Proof that Brueckner would be the kidnapper of Madeleine McCann
According to German media Picture, Codin had wanted to testify for a long time, but the judges refused to hear his statement because it would have no relevance to the charges in this particular trial. But prosecutors still filed a request for him to be heard.
This is how the prisoner revealed that Christian Brueckner confessed to her about the murder of Madeleine McCann while they were in prison together. This allegedly happened in 2019, while both were incarcerated in the JVA prison in Braunschweig.
According to the man, Brueckner believed that Codin was a pedophile and that’s why he decided to talk to him about his own crime.
“He told me he flew to Portugal” he began to explain. “He said he was in a hotel zone where rich people live. There was a window open and he entered. He couldn’t find any money, but he found a girl. “Then he took her away.”
He continued: “He said he owned a bus and took children and abused them. He said: “You can hold them for two or three days and then release them. “I guess he wanted to provoke me, to see if I had anything to do with the kids too.”
“I was talking about a girl, I don’t know if what he said was true or not. He said he had a bus and took her on it. He told me about two girls. “He said he took one, had sex with her, but didn’t kill her.”
Codin contextualized this Brueckner asked him for “recommendations” on the crime. For example, at one point he told her that he had jumped out of the window to support himself and “then he asked me if he could have left any marks” that could incriminate him.
Also I would have asked him if it was possible to find traces of his DNA in bones underground.
And, what’s more, Brueckner allegedly asked him several times to set fire to his house, which was “somewhere in the countryside.” Then I would hire someone to give me money,” he said.
According to Picture, The accused German owns a dilapidated factory in Neuwegersleben which has been searched several times by the police, but so far they have found nothing of interest.
When Brueckner’s lawyer, Friedrich Fülscher, questioned the Roman, He asked him if he thought the accused was intelligent.
“Yes, he’s smart.” he replied.
“Do you think it is wise to tell someone in prison about such actions? the defender attacked.
“Maybe he misjudged me.” said the witness.
From Picture, they wrote that The Romanian’s statements could not be credible, because “he was able to provide little basis for the accusations made.”
Furthermore, they pointed out that the witness began speaking to the judges before lunch and stated that he “remembered almost nothing”, but after the lunch break he easily gave up all the charges described above.
