They are stepping up their efforts after prime suspect Christian Brueckner left jail last week following a seven-year term for rape.

It comes after the UK cops flew to Portugal this month to interview a German couple who hosted Brueckner around the time Madeleine, three, vanished in Praia da Luz in 2007.

A police source in Germany, where the fiend is living in an unnamed town, said: “We’re expecting Met officers could ask to come any time now.

“They have requested all the permissions they need to look into full case files and access any translations.

“They will also have the ability to speak with all the witnesses.”

Yesterday The Sun revealed Brueckner had been bragging he can “solve the scandal of the century” despite never sharing information with police.

Brit investigators were considering speaking with shop manager Farouk Salah-Brahmin who revealed the rapist asked to buy a phone without registering it to his ID card, meaning the device would have been untraceable.

The ID card has yet to be endorsed with travel restrictions meaning he could leave German borders where his ankle tag would no longer work.

The Met’s Operation Grange declined to comment.

Brueckner has always denied involvement.
