The main suspect in the Madeleine McCann case has been cleared of separate rape charges.

47-year-old Christian Brückner was acquitted of five offences of sexual abuse in Portugal between 2000 and 2017.

German investigators identified Brückner in 2020 as a suspect in the disappearance of McCann from Portugal in 2007.

But UK Correspondent Gavin Grey told Ryan Bridge the judge found the witnesses weren't reliable enough to convict him of the rape charge.

He said there’s crossover in some of the witnesses in the sexual abuse case and the McCann case, which means that they’re likely to be seen as unreliable in both cases.
