The search is ongoing in the Portuguese pro -to -lace

Searching for Madeleine Maccan should recover in Portugal, 18 years after it disappeared from the residential complex in OSA to Luza in Algarve.

Portuguese and German authorities are expected to continue to focus on non -working buildings and wells.

On May 3, 2007, Madeleine was three when she disappeared during a vacation with her parents, which caused an investigation into police across Europe, which became one of the most popular cases.

This search – covering the municipality of Lagos, near pro -to -Luz – will continue until Friday through the 21 -kilometer square between the place where Madeleine disappeared and where the German Investigators remained at the time.

Madeleine’s case was originally considered by the Portuguese authorities with the help of the capital police, but German investigators took role in 2020 when they identified German national Christian Bruckner as their main suspect.

A 48-year-old guy is currently serving his sentence in Germany for raping a 72-year-old American tourist in Portugal in 2005. It should be released in September, but it can be pushed until the beginning of 2026 if it does not pay a fine.

The search is located approximately 3.5 miles from the Ocean Club resort, where Madeleine and her family remained.

The roads leading to the area – which is large and mostly stolen – were closed on Monday, where the team cleared the grass and vegetation.

A Portuguese fire truck and four vehicles transported by German police arrived on Tuesday. Firefighters also drained an advance business in the search.

The last search took place two years ago and was concentrated around the reservoir in the northeast of where the British little one was. Brückner, which spent time in the area from 2000 to 2017, was found to have photos and videos about the reservoir.

The German authorities suspect Bruckner of murder and fear that if he is not charged that he would disappear after his release. British police continues to consider the case as an investigation into the missing.

Brückner has repeatedly denied.

German police have a European warrant, which was approved by Portuguese prosecutor’s office, will allow them to searches on private land. It is expected that this week’s search will be covered by 21 different sections of land.

Officials do not reveal when they conduct this last search in Portugal based on any new information and it looks like that

The Portuguese authorities also called Brookner an official suspect or “Argoid”. They said they would convey any evidence confiscated in the last search for the German authorities.

Met police, who said that this week was known about the searches conducted by the German police in Portugal, the Madeleine’s disappearance was continued.

The case, known as the Grange Operation, has been going on since 2011 and costs about 13.3 million pounds today.

On the night of Madeleine disappeared, the parents were at dinner with friends at the restaurant not at a distance from the apartment on the first floor, in which she and her younger siblings slept.

Her mother, Kate, found that she was missing at about 22:00.

In 2022, a German documentary found evidence that Bruckner sometimes worked at the Ocean Club as a master, while German prosecutors also linked their data on mobile phones and selling cars with their business against it.

Madeleine’s parents celebrated her 18th anniversary with her disappearance last month, saying that “determination to leave the back is unwavering.”
