MADDIE COPS: WE WILL GET JUSTICE

Main suspect in McCann disappearance will face trial over sex offence

- MARTIN FRICKER

POLICE have told the family of a girl allegedly attacked by Madeleine McCann suspect Christian Brueckner: "We will get justice for you." 

Brueckner, 46, is accused of indecently exposing himself to the terrified 11-year-old in an Algarve playground in 2017.

He was charged last October with the crime and a string of other sex offences alleged to have taken place in Portugal.

The girl's family were heartbroken when the charges were dropped following a court ruling over jurisdiction.

But last week, a higher court in Germany overturned that decision meaning the prosecution can continue.

Just weeks before the ruling, detectives had vowed to the schoolgirl's relatives that they would get justice.
