Braunschweig prosecutor Hans Christian Wolters said the suspect — whom he identified as Christian B but has previously said a man called Christian Brueckner, 45, is his main suspect in the case — had been told of the development by German prosecutors in prison in the northwest German city of Oldenburg.
Wolters told Reuters that the move to declare Brueckner an official suspect was designed to interrupt Portugal’s 15-year statute of limitations for crimes with a maximum prison sentence of 10 years or more. Brueckner lived in the Algarve between 1995 and 2007 and burgled hotels and holiday flats, according to court documents seen by Reuters in 2020.
He said he expected to make further announcements in May. “We have found some more evidence in other cases in Portugal, the rape of the Irish woman and other cases of abuse,” he said.Brueckner’s lawyer, Friedrich Fuelscher, declined to comment on the case, saying that the move by Portuguese authorities was merely to halt the statute of limitations.
