Last year, German officials named Christian B, 44, as the main suspect in Madeleine’s disappearance.
Investigators claim they have enough evidence to charge him and are “100% confident” he is the perpetrator.
Madeleine vanished from her parents’ holiday accommodation in Praia da Luz, Portugal, when she was three years old.
Christian B assaulted a 72-year-old American woman who lived nearby two years ago and is now imprisoned in Germany.
Who is Christian B, alleged child abuser and Madeleine McCann killer?
He was discovered to be residing in a campervan in Praia da Luz, Portugal, around the time Madeleine vanished on May 3, 2007.
This is only one of the many factors linking him to Madeleine’s abduction.
He had also rented two residences in Portugal, just kilometers from the Ocean Club where Madeleine was staying, and had made a bizarre 30-minute phone conversation just one hour before her abduction.
Christian B, who was born in Germany in 1976 and moved to Portugal in his late teens, has a long history of convictions for child sexual abuse, drug offenses, and rape.
