A police investigation into the disappearance of Madeleine McCann is expected to end later this year, according to reports.
The Operation Grange inquiry, which was set up by the Metropolitan Police in 2011, will reportedly wind down amid fears that the main suspect will not be charged.
Christian B, who was identified as a suspect by German authorities in 2020, is believed to be highly unlikely to face criminal charges in connection with Madeline’s disappearance.
The 45-year-old is currently serving a seven-year jail sentence in for raping a woman aged 72 in Portugal in 2005.
It is expected that the case could be reopened if any significant information comes to light in the future.
A source told The Sun : “The end of the road for Operation Grange is now in sight. The team’s work is expected to be completed by autumn.
“There are currently no plans to take the inquiry further.”
The total cost of Operation Grange is said to have cost approximately £13m since it launched in 2011 - four years after Madeleine was reported missing.
A request for more money was recently submitted to the Home Office, which would take the operation until the end of September.
Madeleine was reported missing after vanishing from her family’s holiday apartment in Praia De Luz, Portugal, in May 2007. She was aged just three at the time.
Her disappearance happened while she slept with her twin brother and sister in a bedroom as their parents dined with friends at a nearby tapas bar.
Parents Gerry and Kate McCann are reportedly aware of the impending closure of Operation Grange.
German prosecutors have claimed to have ‘concrete’ evidence against suspect Christian B.
They have also feared that the German has committed at least five other sex crimes -

LONDON -- “The Magician” by Irish writer Colm Toibin won Britain’s Rathbones Folio Prize for literature on Tuesday.Toibin’s fictionalized account of the life of German writer Thomas Mann beat seven other finalists to the multi-genre 30,000 pound ($40,000) prize, including South African writer Damon Galgut’s Booker Prize-winning novel “The Promise,” Selima Hill’s poetry collection “Men Who Feed Pigeons” and Philip Hoare’s art history book “Albert and the Whale.”Toibin, whose novels include “Brooklyn” and “The Master,” was a previous Folio Prize finalist in 2015 for “Nora Webster” and has been on the Booker Prize shortlist three times.The jury of three other writers — Tessa Hadley, William Atkins and Rachel Long — said they surprised themselves by reaching a unanimous decision. They said Toibin’s book “is such a capacious, generous, ambitious novel, taking in a great sweep of 20th century history yet rooted in the intimate detail of one man’s private life.”Founded in 2013 to rival the prestigious Booker Prize, the Folio is open to fiction, nonfiction and poetry from anywhere in the world published in Britain.
