Madeleine McCann investigators race to lay charges before suspect is released from prison

German prosecutors are reportedly seeking to charge the prime suspect in the Madeleine McCann case before he is released early from jail for raping a pensioner at the resort where she disappeared. 

Christian Brueckner, 48, is suspected of killing the three-year-old while she holidayed with her family in the Portuguese resort of Praia de Luz in 2007. 

He is seeking early release from a seven-year jail term for raping a 72-year-old woman at the same resort in 2005, according to The Sun. 

In October, a German court cleared Brueckner of unrelated rape and sex abuse offences in Portugal between 2000 and 2017, but he could still face a retrial if an appeal is successful.
