Why hasn't the prime suspect in the Madeleine McCann case been charged

It s a highly doubtful if but if Madeleine McCann is still alive two weeks ago she turned 19 Of course her parents Gerry and Kate cling to an infinitesimal hope she s out there somewhere But 15 years on from their little girl being snatched in Portugal the realistic view about her fate is far more pessimistic That s not to say the mystery won t be solved though Portuguese and German investigators are convinced they know who abducted Maddie Their prime suspect is Christian Bruckner a truly terrible piece of work However two years after revealing their suspicions about him there s a tough question to ask why haven t they charged him with the crime
