A 23-year-old Polish woman, who previously made headlines for claiming to be Madeleine McCann, has been charged with four counts of stalking after being arrested at Bristol Airport.
Julia Wandel, also known as Julia Wandelt, was taken into custody on Wednesday and has been remanded in custody ahead of her court appearance at Leicestershire Magistrates’ Court on Friday.
Details of the Stalking Charges
According to Leicestershire Police, the charges against Wandel cover multiple alleged incidents over a span of nearly a year:
- Two counts of stalking between May 2, 2023, and February 15, 2024.
- One count of stalking between January 3 and April 21, 2023.
- A fourth count between November 27 and December 29, 2023.
In addition to Wandel’s arrest, a 60-year-old woman from Wales was also arrested on suspicion of stalking but has since been released on bail.
Background on Julia Wandel
Julia Wandel, from Lubin, Poland, previously gained international attention when she claimed to be Madeleine McCann, the British girl who went missing in Portugal in 2007. However, DNA tests later disproved her claim.
Since then, she has remained in the public eye, with reports of online activity and allegations leading to her arrest.
Upcoming Court Appearance
Wandel is set to appear at Leicestershire Magistrates’ Court on Friday, where she will face the four charges of stalking. The details of the alleged victims and specific incidents have not been disclosed by the police at this stage.
