According to a leaked letter, Madeleine McCann’s prime suspect Christian B launched into a warped Adolf Hitler rant. The 45-year-old paedo and rapist has slammed the case’s German prosecutor, Hans-Christian Wolters, and demanded that authorities prove their allegations against him.
Christian B, who is currently serving a rape sentence in Germany, has always denied any involvement in Madeleine’s abduction. German detectives investigating the three-year-disappearance old’s in Portugal in 2007 confirmed in May that they had discovered crucial clues. They linked Madeleine to a campervan driven by Christian B, and Wolters speculated that the suspect may have “bought” Madeleine from an accomplice who stole her from the Praia da Luz apartment.
He said at the time: “We’re sure he’s the murderer. “There’s no other person.”
And now the convicted paedo has hit back at the allegations, in a handwritten letter, seen by the Mirror, comparing the prosecutor to Adolf Hitler.
He wrote: “I’m wondering why people still ask me where I was on 3 May 2007.
“It is not on me to present evidence. Ask the prosecutor in the same overkill way as it happened with me.
“Ask him why he destroyed the life of a human being by telling lies to the public in 2020.
“I can’t ask him. He is talking to me only by using the media.”
He continued: “I can’t give any answer why a German prosecutor can act like that in the McCann case.
“The only answer I find for myself is that Hitler is still everywhere. The prosecutor has been sowing for two years now and he knows that there can’t be a return.”
He continued: “The whole world is watching him. To cover the blame he starts more and more inquiries against me, all of them happened many years ago and far away from Germany.
“Witnesses are having bad memories already and they are easy to influence.
“I’ve spent the last few days reading files – 5,500 pages without any evidence for even one stolen bicycle. Nothing. I knew it would end like this.”
Christian B accused authorities of attempting to frame him for other crimes allegedly committed in Portugal, as prosecutors prepare to charge him with the alleged rape of Irish tour representative Hazel Behan. However, authorities may be unable to charge him with rape after Hazel told police her perpetrator had a large, cross-shaped scar on his right thigh.
The suspect also expressed his dissatisfaction with the living conditions at Oldenburg Prison in Germany, claiming that “it’s not even possible to buy even one pen” and that he had spent more than four months in isolation “locked up for 24 hours with no TV.” In a previous letter, he stated, “I wasn’t kidnapping anybody, and of course, I wasn’t killing anybody.”
Previously, the prosecutor refused to comment on the letters. Christian B was named an official suspect in April, nearly 15 years after Maddie vanished. Despite the Met Police’s decision to end the investigation, cops in Portugal have stated that they will continue to investigate, with sources claiming that authorities said abandoning their case review was “completely out of the question.”
Christian B was sentenced to prison in Germany for raping a US pensioner in Praia two years before Madeleine’s disappearance in 2005. He was allegedly denied parole after serving only half of his sentence. He has denied any involvement and claims he was miles away in his camper van having sex with a woman at the time Madeleine vanished. However, a TV investigation discovered that Christian B had a face-lift four months after Maddie vanished.
