According to the 29-day schedule, three women will take to the podium on April 10, including his first lover Silke Becker.

Brückner fled Germany to live in Portugal with Ms Becker in the mid-Nineties, failing to serve a prison sentence for child sex offences.

Prosecutor Hans Christian Wolters said: “Although the focus is now on the February trial, I am still actively involved in Madeleine’s case.

“There is no new significant evidence, but the case is moving forward.”
