German police have discovered an email account linking Christian Brueckner to the disappearance of Madeleine McCann, investigators claim.
Titus Stampa, a senior detective who investigated, told the court they discovered emails on Hotmail accounts used by Brueckner, the main suspect in the case, that directly linked him to the case.
The shocking revelation marks the first time an official working the case has claimed to have evidence linking Brueckner to the 2007 disappearance of Madeleine McCann.
But Stampa said he could not share details of the evidence because it was “related to the murder” of the British child.
Brueckner is currently on trial in Germany for unrelated sexual crimes. He denies involvement in Madeleine’s disappearance.

Speaking before the Braunschweig Regional Court in Germany, Stampa referred to the “murder report” Brueckner allegedly had in his possession.
He declined to say whether the recovered emails contained photos or videos involving the suspect.
Stampa claimed police found a second account where Brueckner – a convicted pedophile – had shared child abuse media with other abusers.
Brueckner allegedly deleted all emails from that account in early 2007, when Madeleine disappeared from a hotel resort in Praia da Luz, Portugal, Stampa said.
