MADELEINE McCann was snatched by an accomplice of prime suspect Christian B and sold to him, it has been suggested.
The theory was acknowledged by the prosecutor building a case against the convicted rapist and paedophile.
Hans Christian Wolters told Portugal TV investigator Sandra Felgueiras he could not comment on the speculation.
But when she pressed him on whether the three-year-old was sold to the suspect, he replied: “Maybe, it’s a possibility.”
Madeleine vanished from her family’s Algarve holiday apartment in Praia da Luz in 2007.
The German, 45, has been named as a prime suspect — but detectives are reportedly hunting a drifter friend.
Sources in Portugal say investigators are certain the sex offender killed Madeleine but didn’t act alone.
Christian B denies having any involvement in the disappearance of the British child.
