Brueckner: Prosecutor is acting like Hitler ..he should put up or shut up

Maddie suspect's jail rant HIP Lainbail

- MARTIN FRICKER

MADELEINE McCann suspect Christian Brueckner has compared the German prosecutor investigating him to Adolf Hitler.

The 45-year-old rapist and paedophile hit out at Hans Christian Wolters in a ranting prison letter.

He told German authorities to "put up or shut up" after spending two years as the prime suspect in the case.

Brueckner, who denies any involvement in Madeleine's disappearance, is serving a seven-year jail term for rape.

Wolters has repeatedly said they have proof that Maddie was snatched by him in May 2007 and that she is dead.

But despite spending years investigating the German, they appear no closer to charging him with the crime.

Now Brueckner has gone on the offensive, challenging prosecutors to prove the claims they have made against him.

In a letter written in pencil, the convicted pervert said his life has been destroyed by "Hitler-like behaviour".

He wrote: "I'm wondering why people still ask me where I was on 3 May, 2007.
