A German man who is under investigation in the disappearance of British toddler Madeleine McCann 18 years ago has been released from prison Wednesday morning after serving his sentence in an unrelated case.

The man, who has been identified by media as Christian Brückner, had been serving a seven-year sentence that stemmed from his 2019 conviction for the rape of a 72-year-old American woman in Portugal.
