A 48-year-old convicted criminal, for years. Last year, a former jail cellmate of Christian B. made a shocking revelation. At the Braunschweig Regional Court,
50-year-old Romanian Laurentiu Codin testified that Christian B. once boasted of kidnapping a child in Portugal.
Codin recounted, “He told me that he had stolen in Portugal, that he was in a region of hotels where people are there, I don’t know how you say, rich people, where rich people live.”
“And he told me that there was an open window somewhere in the neighborhood of the hotels where the wealthy reside,
Which is why he asked me if fingerprints could be left when he went out of the window.” “He claimed that he entered the apartment in search of money,
But instead of finding any, he found a child and took him. Two hours later, the area where he was was encircled by police and dogs.”
