Maddie Cops In 'Make Or Break' Portugal Probe

Madeleine McCann detectives hope a make or break trip to Portugal will lead to prime suspect Christian Brueckner being charged.

German investigators are to carry out re-interviews” next spring with close associates of the paedophile drifter.

Madeleine, three, vanished from her parents' holiday apartment at the Ocean Club complex in Praia da Luz in 2007.

German prosecutors say they are sure she was abducted and murdered by the 45-year-old convicted sex offender.

He is also suspected of other offences in the Algarve, including the rape of an Irish woman in 2004 and flashing.

A former friend of Brueckner, who has already met German police, confirmed they will visit the Algarve next spring.
