THE barren lair of Madeleine McCann suspect Christian Brueckner has been revealed after he was moved from the flat by cops.
The paedo, 48, was moved out of the ground-floor two-bed flat after he was seen leering at children playing outside.





He was handed the apartment – close to a shelter for vulnerable girls — by a local council after he was on September 17.
Pictures show Brueckner had a bed, chair and desk in a set-up more akin to the solitary confinement cell he has spent much of the last seven years in, in prison.
Locals say he had not left for at least four days amid growing local fury over his decision to move to the new town, in North Germany, which The Sun has chosen not to name.
But after his address and pictures of his home were posted online by panicked parents in the northern German town, three vans and 15 officers quickly came to take him away.
had been photographed creepily looking out of a window overlooking an area where children often play.
Another picture shows a young blonde girl swinging on goalposts just a few feet from the pervert’s front door.
Frowning cops carried the fiend’s belongings from the ground-floor apartment before arrogantly strode out moments later.
As officers led him away, he was asked by The Sun on Sunday: “Christian, can you tell us what happened to ?”
This week he claimed he had “information to solve the scandal of the century”.
But yesterday, despite his boast, he wryly smiled and ducked into a police van.
As he was driven away parents shouted: “Scum, shame on you!”
The paedophile was said to remain under police protection today after dramatically being escorted from his first home as a free man.
One mum said: “Good riddance, I’m glad he’s gone. I can’t believe they bought him here anyway.”
Another dad said: “This man is a s***. Everyone knew he was here and everyone was afraid. We can get on with our lives now — I pray they take him to a different town.”
His address was posted in a group set up to monitor around midday.
It is understood Brueckner somehow joined the group and was also seeing the messages.
When he saw his location had been revealed, lawyers demanded whingeing Brueckner be moved to a new spot — citing German privacy laws that put individual rights before public safety.
One furious mum, called Sarah, said: “Germany will curse the day Christian B was released. He will move, be discovered then everyone will demand he is gone.”
had arrived in the town on September 19.
Soon after, parks nearby emptied of families — and legally available pepper spray sold out.



A demonstration against his presence was due this week.
Rape victim Hazel Behan said she was shocked that he was housed near the shelter for vulnerable girls.
, 20 miles from Praia da Luz where Madeleine disappeared on a holiday in 2007.
The ex-holiday rep claimed was her attacker and waived her anonymity to give evidence at his trial last year.
He was acquitted but an appeal is pending.
Hazel is so terrified of him after giving evidence that she plans to move house.
And she said it was “disgusting” the convicted rapist had been housed opposite the shelter.

Mum-of-three Hazel told The Sun on Sunday: “I believed with my whole heart that man (who raped me) was Christian B. When he was in prison I could suddenly get on with my life. Now he’s out I am genuinely terrified.
“He must also know if my appeal is granted it could be really dangerous for him. It could put him in jail forever.
“It’s stopped me sleeping. I’m so worried — we all know what this man is capable of. I have been looking at moving house.”
Brueckner was named prime suspect in in 2020 by German cops.
But investigators have been reluctant to charge due to a lack of forensic evidence.
Since it became clear Brueckner would be released, the Met has stepped up their activity on the case.
Brueckner was freed on September 17 after serving seven years for raping an American woman in Praia da Luz in 2005. He has always denied involvement in Madeleine’s disappearance.
