Police in Poland have ruled out the possibility that 21-year-old German Julia Faustyna is Madeleine McCann, a British child who disappeared 16 years ago. The disappearance has become one of the most mysterious police cases in the world, still unsolved.
Wrocław Police spokesman Paweł Noga told the Gazeta.PL portal that the investigations, which are still ongoing, already have evidence to rule out that the young woman’s version is true.
“The actions of the police from the Provincial Police Headquarters at this stage contradict the version presented by this lady. Activities are ongoing, but it can already be ruled out that this version is true” – said Paweł.
Last Wednesday afternoon (22), Julia’s family, who claims to be Madeleine, manifested itself through a note, saying that she has always been part of their family, and that there are photos and memories that prove it.
The family also stated that the woman “lies and manipulates”, and that she does not regularly take medication prescribed by psychiatrists. Finally, the police officer in charge also stated that Julia’s family presented a document that would be her birth certificate.
remember the case
Madeleine has been missing since May 3, 2007, when she disappeared from a resort apartment in the Algarve, Portugal, where she slept with her siblings while her parents dined a few meters away. She would turn 4 years old.
The case had great worldwide repercussions, mainly due to the huge publicity campaign carried out by the girl’s parents to try to discover her whereabouts. About 600 people were investigated and four were considered suspects but later acquitted.
In September 2007, Portuguese police classified Kate and Gerry McCann, Madeleine’s parents, as suspects in their daughter’s disappearance, after DNA was found in a car the family rented 25 days after reporting her disappearance.
They denied all allegations and subsequently the case against them was dropped.
One of the milestones in the investigation took place in June 2020, when British and German authorities announced that they had identified Christian Brueckner, a 43-year-old German at the time, as a suspect in the case. He was a convicted drug dealer and child molester.
But Brueckner has not been charged with any crime related to the disappearance. He is behind bars in Germany for raping a woman in the same region of the Algarve where Madeleine disappeared.
As recently as May 4, 2022, Hans Christian Wolters, the German prosecutor who has been investigating the case since 2020, said that detectives believe they have found “some facts and new evidence”, adding: “We are sure that he [Brueckner] is the murderer of Madeleine McCann”.
