Madeleine McCann: News From Portugal
MADELEINE McCann - news from Portugal:
PJ request to Leicester Police: It’s urgent to question again the McCann friends
Paulo Rebelo, the new man in charge of the PJ detective’s team investigating Madeleine’s disappearance send [sic] a letter to Leicester Police, making clear that it’s necessary, for the investigation to move forward, to have the results of a new questioning of the McCann friends. Portuguese police asked, since more than one week, for some of the couples that were with the McCann, at Tapas Bar, to be subject to another police interrogation, with a new set of questions that were sent to Leicester, according to sources close to the case.
The results of that questioning are considered important to allow PJ to go further in the investigation, now that the analysis of the final – and official – report from Forensic Science Service is almost finished. Mr. Rebelo’s team, with the help of forensic experts, spend the last days going through the many pages of the report – which doesn’t include any samples related to a bloody footprint found at the McCann apartment, as some British newspapers referred, recently.
Another task that is almost finished, according to the same sources, is the review of other lines of inquiry. The “new searches” revealed by British Media (including police divers who already started to scour the Bravura reservoir, on October 15, according to Sky News) didn’t take place. PJ experts have analysed the dossier, going through the many statements and evidence collected but, until now, there is no indication that those other lines of inquiry justify any new initiative, like searches in specific areas. Meanwhile, PJ has informed the Public Prosecutor’s Office that the case may have new developments, soon, and specific requests can me made, at any moment, in the following days.

Shouldn’t the British police be asking the questions about the way that the Portuguese police have conducted themselves in this investigation, the leaking of mis-information to the press,when there was supposed to be a code of silence.the DNA that was contaminated with cigarette ash , the driving away of the McCann’s hire car , and now we find out that they crashed Robert Murat’s car too while driving it back to the police station.The lack of interest shown by their detectives in the first few months to look outside of Praia de Luz. The failure to search areas around praia de luz on the first days of the case. Not interviewing witnesses that reported seeing Madeleine.
There are many more mistakes that they made and even former British investigating police
officers have criticised them.
Now it seems that sinse the McCann’s have hired their own private detectives and they are getting on well with the investigation,the P.P have only now started to believe it might have been an abduction after all,but only after she as been missing for six month’s.
I feel sorry for that woman in Portugal that was arrested and jailed after her daughter disappeared, she accused the P.P of beating her for a confession,she maintains that her daughter was abducted too, but like the McCann’s they only looked at the parents.

Will the PJ guys do the questioning I wonder?
Will they be allowed to be present even?
With the amount of what appears interference from high places, couldn’t the results be tampered with. There must be an impartial observer from the PJ at the least I would have thought.

Shock horror,
The British Press fabricates yet again.
Weaving in their lies and deceit.
Thanks again Paulo for your dilligence.
I certainly appreciate it.
