On the 16th anniversary of Maddie McCann's abduction, Sister Amelie appeared publicly for the first time. Mother Kate McCann is furious with a journalist who allegedly urged daughter Amalie, 18, to give an interview to Maddie.

The case of Madeleine McCann is currently also occupying German authorities. The Braunschweig Regional Court rejected an indictment against the suspect, saying the court was "not competent". The man was to be charged with another offense. He is already in custody for other crimes.
