Christian B. is considered the main suspect in the Maddie McCann case.
The 46-year-old wanted to assert his innocence when he wrote a letter to a British journalist. Christian B. has a criminal record for serious child sexual abuse and lived regularly in the Algarve from 1995 to 2007. The suspect's lawyer considers the testimony to be implausible and calls the witness a "liar" and says that the testimony is "hot air so far" The German public prosecutor's office now assumes that the German Christian B is responsible for Maddie's disappearance.
