Christian B., a German sex criminal has been indicted in Germany, following a request made by the Portuguese courts.
This is a new twist in the Madeleine McCann affair. The disappearance of this three-year-old girl had deeply moved the British. They have been following the progress of this case for 15 years. This time, it is a German man in his forties who has been formally indicted by the Portuguese courts.
According to the British press, it is Christian B., a sex criminal who had already been the main suspect since June 2020. But, this time, he is formally indicted, which means that he may be extradited to the Portugal to be interrogated. This news comes at the right time since the British and Portuguese authorities had indicated that they would cease the investigations. Hope therefore remains intact for parents, who are trying to find out what happened to their little girl, explains France Télévisions journalist Claire Verove.
