The 43-year-old German man is currently in prison serving a prison sentence for raping a 72-year-old American woman in Portugal and has two previous convictions for "sexual contact with girls"
A convicted paedophile suspected of abducting and murdering Madeleine McCann has been named.
The 43-year-old German man has been named as Christian Brueckner, who is in prison reportedly for raping a 72-year-old American woman in September 2005 in the same Portuguese resort where Madeleine vanished.
His name emerged shortly before German prosecutors said they believe Madeleine is dead and they are investigating a suspect for murder.
The suspect, who has also been convicted of child sexual abuse, is suspected of snatching Madeleine, then three, from her family's holiday apartment in Praia da Luz on the night of May 3, 2007.
Earlier, German police revealed a child sex offender, who is currently in prison in that country, is the new prime suspect in the case.
Christian Hoppe, from Germany's Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA), told the country's ZDF television channel the 43-year-old is serving a prison sentence for a sex crime and has two previous convictions for "sexual contact with girls".
Police in Germany said other people may also have "concrete knowledge" of the disappearance of Madeleine as they issued a new global appeal.
German investigators have not ruled out a sexual motive in the McCann case.
The prime suspect in the disappearance is in prison for "brutally" raping and beating a 72-year-old tourist, it is reported.
The German man attacked the American woman in her home in Praia da Luz, Portugal in September 2005, about a year-and-a-half before Madeleine vanished in the same resort, the Braunschweiger Zeitung newspaper reported.
He was caught after a friend discovered video of separate attacks on an older woman and a young woman, who were both tied up and raped, and DNA evidence linked him to the rape of the 72-year-old.
The American woman told police after the attack, which lasted about 15 minutes: "I felt that he enjoyed torturing me."

He was charged in August 2019 and convicted of the rape in a district court in Braunschweig, about 35 miles east of Hanover in north-central Germany, in December last year, the report added.
The man is white with short blond hair, possibly fair, and about 6ft tall with a slim build at the time Madeleine, then three, vanished on May 3, 2007.
The public prosecutor's office in Braunschweig became involved in the rape case because the suspect had an address in the district before he went abroad.
The newspaper said the US woman was attacked in her home in Praia da Luz and there was no trace of the attacker for 14 years until a friend came forward after claiming he found videos at the suspect's home which showed two women being raped.
The friend told police he discovered the videos in 2006 when he broke into the suspect's house, while the suspect was in custody for allegedly stealing diesel fuel, and stole a video camera, but didn't show them to authorities at that time because he didn't want to get involved.

The video showed the suspect removing his mask and showing his face, according to the report.
The other video allegedly showed a younger woman, speaking German, tied naked to a wooden beam inside a house as she begged to be freed. The suspect was sat on a sofa, the friend told police, adding that he recognised the man and the interior of the house.
Police in Portugal then looked through reported rape cases and discovered similarities between the description of the events in the video and an attack on a 72-year-old American woman who was living in the resort.
German public prosecutors said on Thursday they are investigating a 43-year-old German man on suspicion of murder and believe that Madeleine is dead.
Braunschweig state prosecutor spokesman Hans Christian Wolters said: "In connection with the disappearance of the three-year-old British girl Madeleine McCann on May 3 2007 from an apartment complex in Praia da Luz, in Portugal, the Braunschweig prosecution is investigating against a 43-year-old German on suspicion of murder.

As the mum went to close the door is slammed shut as if there was a draft and she saw with horror that the wondow and shutters were also wide open.
Heartbreakingly, the little girl's beloved Cuddle Cat toy, which Kate was often pictured holding, and pink blanket were still on the bed - but there was no sign of Madeleine.
Kate made a frantic search of the apartment but her daughter had vanished and she ran out screaming "Madeleine's gone! Someone's taken her!"
By 10:10pm the police had been called and 60 staff and guests at the resort searched for Madeleine until 4:30am, initially believing the little girl had simply wandered off.
Now, 13 years and dozens of suspects later, could police have tracked down the person who was responsible for little Madeleine's disappearance.

thedailymirror--2020-06-04--Question Times guest says 11 weeks into lockdown NHS staff still without PPE

Many frontline staff are still treating coronavirus patients without personal protective equipment , according to a nursing chief .
Professor Dame Donna Kinnair , Chief Executive and General Secretary of the Royal College of Nursing , said PPE supply to certain British hospitals is `` still patchy '' .
The practicing nurse - who has risked her own life to save patients during the pandemic - has also called on Black Lives Matter protesters to wear face masks .
Appearing on Thursday 's Question Time , Prof Kinnair said : `` I was on this programme not long ago saying @ @ @ @ @ @ @ For updates on coronavirus , follow our live blog HERE .
`` It ’ s still patchy , there are some hospitals that are getting it , [ but ] we know that there are many care homes that are struggling to still receive PPE .
`` We also know that those district nurses are still struggling to get proper PPE . ''
She said it 's concerning that the Government 's latest guidance about wearing face coverings on public transport - to come into force from June 15 - comes when some @ @ @ @ @ @ @ less than a metre away providing care '' .
She was speaking in relation to a discussion about Public Health England 's recent report on the disproportionate effects of Covid-19 on black , Asian and minority people .
Asked by host Fiona Bruce whether more should be done to protect BAME nurses from the disease , Prof Kinnair said the issue with the report is it has n't answered why people of colour are more susceptible .
`` There has to be more that needs to be done .
That whole report was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is this happening ?
`` And yet we ’ ve had surveillance and statistics but we haven ’ t yet answered why ?
`` Nobody expected an answer to come overnight but surely there ’ s much more we can do to protect nursing staff .
I think there ’ s something about adequate PPE . ''
Referring to whether BAME nurses should have more PPE than their white counterparts , she said : `` We do n't know from this report if it ’ s linked to occupation or exposure . ''
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ disease increases the more exposure you get `` and many BAME people [ are ] working in frontline positions '' .
`` We ’ ve seen that through the bus drivers , we ’ ve seen that through most of our nurses are at Band 5 delivering care - our health care assistants .
`` There are many questions yet to be answered .
But in the meantime ...
I ’ m looking for protection before the answers occur , so as much protection as we can give people is absolutely essential and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are redeployed from the frontline so be it . ''
Referring to BLM demonstrations in response to the death of George Floyd , she said : `` I have put my own life at risk and so have many other health care workers so we really want people , if they are protesting , to observe social distancing because there ’ s no point in us coming back to look after them because of another cause . ''
Nadhim Zahawi , Minister for Business and Industry , also on the panel , said @ @ @ @ @ @ @ should n't be happening '' .
`` From my own local experience both care homes and NHS have got the PPE , '' he added .
Host Fiona Bruce said that is clearly in contrast to Prof Kinnair 's experiences on the frontline .
She added that she has questioned many Government representatives on the show about the issue and has been told `` it 's being sorted '' for weeks - that it 's `` not a question of supply , it 's logistics '' .
Mr Zahawi said : `` If @ @ @ @ @ @ @ happily take that away and look at it because at the moment that shouldn ’ t be happening . ''
In relation to the BAME report , he said Public Health England is `` getting it out '' to NHS trusts `` so they have the data '' and the Government is working to `` translate that [ the report 's findings ] into actions for people of BAME backgrounds . ''

thedailymirror--2020-06-04--Man Utd 'feel Bruno Fernandes can revive Paul Pogba's career' with new deal hope

Since Bruno Fernandes made a stunning start to his Manchester United career , there has been much speculation over what his arrival means for Paul Pogba .
Pogba has long been linked with a move away from Old Trafford , while Fernandes became an instant hit following his £48million January move , having helped United to an 11-match unbeaten streak in all competitions .
The two midfielders are yet to play together , with French World Cup winner Pogba having missed most the 2019/20 campaign due to ankle problems .

However , football 's enforced break due to the coronavirus pandemic has given Pogba the chance to recover from his most recent ankle injury .
And the impending return of the Premier League raises the prospect of the 27-year-old finally playing alongside Portugal star Fernandes in a superstar midfield .
The Red Devils are provisionally due to resume their quest for a top-four spot with a visit to Tottenham Hotspur on Friday , June 19 .
United fans will @ @ @ @ @ @ @ play together - and according to the Daily Mail , the club hope a successful partnership can persuade the Frenchman to stay at the club until 2022 and beyond .
Pogba is currently contracted to United until the end of next season , but the club have the option to extend his contract by 12 months .

That renewal clause would keep Pogba at Old Trafford until the summer of 2022 , but United believe he could be convinced to stay beyond that if he can forge a formidable midfield combination with Fernandes that helps take the team back to the top of world football .
Pogba has been linked with both Real Madrid and his former club Juventus - but United would want around £100million for him .
Amid the financial climate caused by coronavirus , it seems unlikely a club would offer that much @ @ @ @ @ @ @ form and has played only eight matches this season .
But if playing alongside Fernandes can help him recapture the form that led United to break their transfer record for him when he was at Juventus four years ago , the future could look much brighter for both the player and the club .
