Braunschweig public prosecutor Hans Christian Wolters has refused to say if paedophile Christian Brueckner will face charges over the British three-year-old’s abduction in 2007.
But police are facing a race against time to keep him in jail – with an appeal against a rape conviction due to be heard in court tomorrow.

Mr Wolters ^ said: “We have no endeavours to drag this out unnecessarily. We’ll draw a line at some point and see: Is it enough for an indictment or not?”
He said: “We have an interest in keeping our suspect in custody. This gives us access to interrogations and in the event of an indictment.”
