Christian Brueckner’s former girlfriend has disclosed that he admitted to being near Madeleine McCann’s apartment the evening she disappeared.

Tonight at 9 pm, a Sun investigation will be aired on Channel 4, uncovering alarming details unearthed by the German Police during a search of Brueckner’s residence. Here’s what we know about his former girlfriend.

Who is Nakscije Miftari?

Nakscije Miftari, a German of Kosovan origin, is the ex-girlfriend of Brueckner. 

She was living in the German town of Braunschweig when she first met the convicted paedophile. 

After moving to Portugal with Brueckner in 2014, Nakscije was deported back to Germany less than a year later. 

Little is known about Nakscije’s upbringing and career, but she is focused on reconstructing her life after parting ways with Brueckner, who remains the chief suspect in Madeleine’s disappearance.

Brueckner, known as Christian B, denies abducting the British toddler.

As of May 2025, Nakscije is 29 years old.

When did Nakscije Miftari date Christian Brueckner?

Nakscije met Brueckner in 2013, when she was only 17 years old, at a kiosk in Braunschweig.

She would regularly visit the kiosk to buy sweets, where she met the “charming and generous” owner, Brueckner.

In an exclusive interview with the Daily Mail, Nakscije said: “The first time I saw him, he was on his mobile phone at the kiosk, he got off the phone and said, “Hello lady, how can I help you?” I was surprised as no one called me a lady before.

“He asked me to have a look and choose what I wanted. Then, when I asked him how much I should pay, he said, “Nothing, a lady doesn’t have to pay in my kiosk.”

Despite the gap, the pair began dating, and Nakscije even considered marrying the German until their relationship turned violent.

The violence began after Nakscije discovered child pornography on his mobile phone and laptop, much of it featuring blonde girls. 

After confronting Brueckner about the videos – some of he even featured in – he launched a physical attack on her. 

She added: “I asked him about the videos and pictures, and that’s when he punched me. I fell down the stairs and was unconscious for about ten minutes.”

Ms Miftari and her mother reported the assault to police, which led to officers raiding Brueckner’s flat. 

They recovered electronic equipment which was later revealed to contain 391 child porn photographs and 68 videos, including images of Brueckner abusing the five-year-old daughter of one of his previous girlfriends in a park.

Despite her mother’s pleas, Nakscije remained in contact with Brueckner while he fled to Portugal to escape being arrested.

He was eventually returned to Germany on a European arrest warrant in 2017 and was later given a 15-month prison term for abusing the five-year-old.

While serving his prison sentence, German Police announced that Brueckner had become the lead suspect in the Madeleine McCann case. 

But the authorities lacked any evidence to charge the German with the crime, but Nakscije’s breakthrough testimony is the first to include Brueckner stating he was near the crime scene. 

Madeleine vanished from her family’s holiday apartment while her parents, Kate and Gerry McCann, were dining with friends at a nearby tapas restaurant.

Nakscije recalled Brueckner falling silent when the subject of Madeleine’s abduction was raised by friends during a party in early 2014 at their flat in Braunschweig.

She said: “I remember he made no answer to the question. After they went, I asked about Maddie, as I did not know anything about her

“​​I asked him about it and he said, “I know about Maddie, I was near the hotel at the time. I was living in the area at the time. I am not going to say anything more. I am not a stupid guy, I am a businessman.”

German police have established that Brueckner, who denies any involvement in Madeleine’s disappearance and has refused to speak to police or prosecutors, was living in the Algarve.

Mobile phone signals show he was near the Ocean Club resort on the evening of May 3, 2007.

Nakscije continued: “I have no feelings anymore for Christian. 

“I have heard so much about him in the past year and I was always hoping it was not true, even today.”

Brueckner is currently in prison serving a seven-and-a-half-year prison term for the rape of an American pensioner in Praia da Luz in 2005.
