Brueckner is serving a seven-year sentence for the 2005 rape of a pensioner in the Portuguese resort of Praia da Luz.
And Mr Wolters' team have been trying to get enough evidence to charge him over the disappearance of Madeleine at the same resort 18 months later. But he has admitted the probe could carry on beyond 2026 when Brueckner is due to be released.
