Christian B.: Dismissal with an ankle bracelet – will new danger arise?

Christian B.: Dismissal with an ankle bracelet – will new danger arise?

The justice system is about to take a significant step in the case of the missing Madeleine McCann, also known as Maddie. Christian B., who is considered the main suspect in this mysterious case, is expected to be released from the Sehnde Correctional Facility on Wednesday. But freedom comes with conditions: He is fitted with an ankle bracelet and is subject to further restrictions. This is reported by Tagesschau.

Despite the impending dismissal, Christian B. continues to be the focus of the Braunschweig public prosecutor's investigation. This has applied for management supervision as he is still being investigated due to the serious allegations. The Hildesheim regional court already set the conditions for his release on September 9th. B. has to report regularly to the conduct supervision office and the probation service, and his passport is confiscated - instead he receives a German identity card.

Serious concerns about danger

The psychiatric report that was prepared on Christian B. describes him as “absolutely in the top league of dangerousness”. Experts agree that further crimes can be expected from him. This raises additional questions, especially since B. did not complete any therapy during his time in prison. Christian B.'s lawyer announced that he would lodge a complaint against the supervisory supervision order and also criticized the prior conviction by the public prosecutor's office.

Interestingly, Christian B. was acquitted of rape and child abuse a year ago. But the evidence in Maddie's case remains incriminating. On the evening of his disappearance, his cell phone was logged in near the holiday resort, which gave the investigators pause. Despite these indications, the public prosecutor's office has not yet found sufficient evidence for an indictment and has not discovered any exculpatory evidence against him, as Spiegel points out.

The preparations for the release of Christian B. have already attracted media representatives to the prison who want to document the release. While some emphasize the seriousness of the allegations, there are also voices that insist on the presumption of innocence. The situation remains tense and many are wondering in which direction the investigation will now develop.
