A VAN uncovered by The Sun is being probed by the German FBI for child-snatching links to Madeleine McCann suspect Christian Brueckner.Brueckner is believed to have had a white Mercedes van in Portugal at the time the tot was abducted, in 2007 - although it is not clear if the vehicles are one and the same.
An official request has been made to the Rosier dealership in Braunschweig, which leased the van to Brueckner between 2014 and 2015. As well as any links to Maddie, it is now thought Brueckner owned the vehicle at the time German Maddie, Inga Gehricke, vanished in forest in Saxony-Anhalt, in 2015. He was unable to give an alibi for the day and the day before he had an accident in nearby Helmstedt, just an hour away.
