German authorities believe the 44-year-old to be the main suspect in the case. However, a UK team is set to conclude that Christian B did not abduct the young child. Instead, investigators will conclude he was 30 minutes away from Praia da Luz, Portugal, at the time of the child's disappearance.
An investigation led by former Surrey Police detective, Mark Williams-Thomas, is said to show that the alibi for the accused is legitimate.
Initially, it had been thought phone records uncovered in 2007 showed Christian B near to the scene.
According to The Sun, a source claimed the case against the accused does not stack up.
A source said: "They have concluded B could not have snatched Madeleine.
The team spent months in Portugal and Germany for the programme.
While in both countries, they discovered new witnesses for the case.
The accused is in a German jail after officials in the country arrested the man on separate charges.
Christian B has not been arrested in connection with the case relating to the young girl.
He was arrested in 2018 on separate charges and is serving a 21-month sentence.
His name cannot be completely revealed for legal reasons.
