THE German prosecutor’s evidence against the main suspect in the disappearance of Madeleine McCann is “incredibly weak”, according to the investigative journalist Mark Williams-Thomas.

Williams-Thomas, who first exposed Jimmy Savile as a predatory paedophile, told GB News: “They’ve got no more evidence now than they had previously and in fact, in my Paramount investigation, we showed that the evidence they had was incredibly weak.

“We were able to put forward not only information that undermined the case that they feel they have, but also show that Christian B is likely to have an alibi.

“Let’s be very clear. Christian B is a vile individual who’s committed some horrific offences against children. That does not mean to say that he should be accused of the murder of Madeleine McCann, just simply because he got a nasty background.

“Hans Wolter is a prosecutor. He’s very clearly saying that his belief is he [Christian B] killed Madeleine. Well, if he’s got that evidence then charge him.”

In a discussion with Mark Dolan, he added: “I believe that on that night, Madeleine woke up – we know she woke up on the two previous nights – and Gerry and Kate on the morning of her disappearance did say to her that if you wake up in the middle of night again, we’re only at the tapas bar which is just across the walkway of the swimming pool.

“I believe she woke up and went looking for mum and dad and as she walked out of the apartment, she walked out down the steps on to a public footpath before having to walk back in again. And I believe at that point that she was abducted.”

He also said the Portuguese judicial police have denied a BBC report which claimed that they had apologised to Madeleine’s parents.

“The BBC is saying that there is very clear understanding that they apologised, that is certainly not the message that the PJ are telling me,” he said.

“Yes, it’s not official but I can tell you my contact in the PJs is at a very senior level and that is their understanding. of that meeting.”
