A key witness in the hunt for Madeleine McCann has spoken out publicly for the very first time, sharing his claims that prime suspect Christian Brueckner had “something to do” with her abduction.

Helge Busching, who was once a friend of Brueckner, alleged to German outlet Bild that he learned of the prime suspect’s true nature well before Madeleine went missing.

He alleged that he stole videotapes from his home that he claims showed Brueckner sexually assaulting an elderly woman and a teenage girl. When confronted about the contents, Busching alleges Brueckner told him to “shut up”.

Busching said he crossed paths with Brueckner again in 2008 at a music festival in Spain. Brueckner is said to have asked him why he didn’t visit Portugal any more. Busching explained that since Madeleine disappeared there were “too many police checks”.

He also speculated “how the little one could have disappeared without a trace”. Busching then alleged in his new interview: “Christian had drunk two or three beers, and he said: ‘She didn’t scream.’’”
