00:00And Nick, Christian Bruckner has always denied any involvement in this case of Madeleine

00:06McCann. But do we know if the German police actually have any solid leads that could help

00:13them solve this case? And that's why they're back in this area.

00:16Well, they are playing it very close to their chest. It's a question that every journalist

00:21has asked the German prosecutor. Why are you so convinced that Christian Bruckner is involved?

00:26What is it that you have on him? You announced to a great fanfare in June 2020, let's not forget

00:33that, five years ago now, that he was the chief suspect in this case. But you have not brought

00:39any charges again. Let's see. Let's see the colour of your money, if you want, for a colloquialism.

00:44But they are not releasing any evidence. We do know, as I say, that he lived here, he worked here,

00:49his phone was triangulated here back in 2007 when Madeleine disappeared.

00:55He also has form. He, as I say, serving seven years for rape. And he also has convictions for

01:02paedophilia committed whilst he was a young man in Germany. So there's a lot of circumstantial

01:08evidence whilst he was back in Germany a few years ago. They found CD hard disks and USB sticks on which

01:16there was paedophile material on them. And there is some suggestion that perhaps there is data on that

01:21information that links specifically to this area of scrubland near Pry-du-luge where they are searching.
