Nobody's interested in prosecuting the McCanns except for a few internet die hards who can't admit that maybe they were wrong.
If they charge him in Germany, he's as good as done for it.
In criminal and administrative law, Germany uses an inquisitorial system where the judges are actively involved in investigating the facts of the case, as compared to an adversarial system where the role of the judge is primarily that of an impartial referee between the prosecutor or plaintiff and the defendant.
This is a truly terrible take.
Thanks for the insight into German system He is a German national but the crime is a Portugese crime if it is a crime. Not too sure of jurisdictional issues but I suspect him being named an Arguido means there is probably a necessity to extradite for charges there in Portugal. Could be wrong though and I have no idea if they follow the same system or not. Perhaps they do
As far as prosecuting McCann well I only want the people responsible to be held to account whoever they are Brueckner OR MCCann. At days end I thought that's what we all want. I happen to think that there was an accident with significant evidence pointing to that no matter what the hardcase McCann sympathisers think. As regards me thinking UK are complicit yes it is a truly horrible thought but it's not without foundation. We would have DNA done and financial records supplied and examined already if not for UK steadfastly refusing to do them. One of the investigators slanted to takeover Operation Grange refused to take the job because he was denied the right to freely investigate all leads including McCann. Says it all really and he's not an an internet diehard.
I don't buy into any of the emotive issues around the case. Only interested integrity of guilt verdicts. Brueckner is probably a horrible human being. Doesn't make him guilty here. McCann's probably are grief stricken pillars of the community. Doesn't make them innocent of hiding a deadly accident if they did.
