Madeleine McCann suspect Christian Brueckner plans new life on 'billionaire island'
The 48-year-old convicted rapist and paedophile has reportedly already chosen a new home when he is freed from prison in September, having previously boasted that he plans to go into hiding. Madeleine McCann prime suspect Christian Brueckner has revealed plans to move to Germany's 'billionaire playground island' when he is released from jail. The 48-year-old convicted rapist and paedophile has reportedly already chosen a new home when he is freed from prison in September, having previously boasted that he plans to go into hiding. As the Mirror reports, his lawyer Friedrich Fuelsher has claimed Brueckner plans to stay in Germany after his released with his eyes et on the North Sea island of Sylt. 'According to my information, he plans to settle in Schleswig-Holstein,' Fuelscher told Bild. And Brueckner has a very specific location in mind - the exclusive North Sea island of Sylt. 'Sylt has appealed to him in the past,' Fuelscher added. Brueckner has history with the controversial island when he previously ran a cannabis dealing operation there and was handed a suspended sentence in 2011. He is due to complete his current seven-year rape sentence in Sehnde prison on September 17. His legal team thought he would have to stay behind bars for a further five months because he owed an outstanding €1,400 fine. But German tabloid Bild claims an anonymous female donor has now paid the fine on Brückner's behalf — clearing the final obstacle to his release. Despite a lengthy police investigation, detectives appear to be no closer to charging him over Madeleine's disappearance. He was cleared last October of a string of sex crimes he was accused of carrying out in Portugal. Prosecutors are awaiting the outcome of an appeal against those verdicts lodged in Germany's Federal Court of Justice. Brueckner denies any involvement in Madeleine's disappearance. German search teams spent three days hunting for evidence in Portugal earlier this month. Brueckner was living in a ramshackle farmhouse on the edge of Praia da Luz when Madeleine vanished from the holiday resort in May 2007. Sylt is Germany's northernmost island, nestled in the North Sea just off Schleswig‑Holstein. It has been connected to the mainland by the Hindenburgdamm causeway since 1927.

In WW2 it was heavily fortified with concrete bunkers hidden beneath dunes, and some of this wreckage and relics dot the island's landscape today. From the 1960s, Sylt reinvented itself into a jet‑set playground for rich movers and shakers, and it is still this way today. Affluent entrepreneurs, VIPs, celebrities, and models flock here for gourmet dining, designer boutiques, luxury spas, and even the famed 'Whisky Mile' in Kampen. It is also known for its dramatic sand dunes and vast 40 km beaches. In recent years, however, the island has also become the stage for disturbing far‑right incidents. A shocking video emerged showing patrons in a Sylt nightclub chanting a Nazi slogan - 'Germany for the Germans – foreigners out' - prompting a nationwide outrage. The scandal rocked Germany because this time, instead of far-right thugs and skinheads it was wealthy 'yuppies' orchestrating it. Left‑wing protest groups pitched protest camps on the island against what they claimed was elite gentrification and far‑right infiltration.

Trade union in talks with Paisley charity Kibble following claims of "financial crisis"
The organisation told staff of the challenges being faced as it sought to downgrade their pay and working conditions. Kibble Education and Care Centre has told employees it is in 'financial crisis' days after confirming it spent tens of thousands of pounds on a defamation case. The Paisley-based charity told staff of its financial challenges as it sought to downgrade their pay and working conditions. The news was delivered just days after Kibble confirmed it had covered the legal fees of two of its employees, Jim Gillespie and Mark MacMillan, who launched a defamation case against Alan Wardrop. Judge Lord Clark last week accepted that Mr Wardrop's accusation that the pair – Kibble's representatives on the board of St Mirren FC – had covered up a secret plan to build a wellbeing centre on club-own land was defamatory. But their claim for damages was dismissed as Lord Clark said he believed that Mr Wardrop's comments were in the public interest and were honestly held based on the evidence he had at the time – both defences under the Scottish law around defamation damages. Within days of the case being dismissed, Kibble employees were issued with a letter stating the rate of pay for overtime was being reduced; the notice period was being extended to eight weeks; and, further, that staff would no longer be afforded sick pay if they were signed off ill within that eight-week period. Unison, the trade union which represents staff at the children's charity, told the Express: 'Earlier this year, Unison was called to a meeting with members of Kibble management who advised that they are in significant financial crisis and that they are struggling to retain staff. 'Assurances were given that [the proposed changes] would not be enacted without trade union agreement and following member consultation. Despite this, management have proceeded to implement changes and no further discussion has taken place with the trade union.' Unison had threatened strike action at the Goudie Street facility but a planned ballot was suspended at the eleventh hour when Kibble agreed to resume talks with the union. Mark Ferguson, Renfrewshire branch secretary of Unison Scotland, said Kibble had withdrawn the disputed changes to members' terms and conditions. He said: 'On the back of this development, Unison has agreed to postpone its ballot of members and will engage in further discussion with Kibble management – hopefully this will result in a successful negotiated agreement.' A spokesperson for Kibble said: 'We place a great deal of value on our long-standing relationship with Unison and are committed to reaching a mutually agreeable solution to this issue. Discussions are ongoing and we expect the matter to be resolved to everyone's satisfaction in the near future.'
