BERLIN, June 1 (Reuters) - German prosecutors said on Thursday they had secured some items during a search of a reservoir in Portugal in the 16-year-old hunt for missing British girl Madeleine McCann which they would evaluate in coming days and weeks.
"Whether some of the items actually relate to the Madeleine McCann case cannot yet be confirmed," the prosecutor's statement read.
German prosecutors last year named Christian Brueckner an official suspect in McCann's disappearance.
"The investigations here in Braunschweig against the 46-year old suspect will likely last a long time still," German prosecutors said.
