Madeleine McCann: A Pundit Says, Judge Eurico Reis Orders And The Sun Omits
MADDYWATCH - Anorak’s at-a-glance guide to press coverage of Madeleine McCann
THE SUN: “Shut up: Maddie cop by judge”
Police national director Alipio Ribeiro “stunned his men” by “admitting” the decision to make “doctors” Kate and Gerry McCann suspects was “hasty”
Judge Eurico Reis said it is “not the cop’s role to publicly comment on cases under investigation. The judge raged: ‘It is his duty to SHUT UP.’”
And: “Portugal’s top prosecutor Antonio Cluny branded Ribeiro’s comment ‘extremely worrying’” – Why worrying? Because of what he said? Or because a policeman has given his personal views about an ongoing case? The Sun fails to make this clear
The McCanns spokesman tells us: “You cannot have the head of the police force openly questioning the validity of the way in which they were made suspects and then not have a review”
Can’t you? Can someone expert in Portuguese law tells us if you can or cannot…
FERGUS Shanahan: “COPS SO WRONG”
Alipis Ribero is on the radiop. Says Shanahan: “In effect, Mr Ribeiro is saying: ‘We never had any evidence agsint Kate and Gerry. We didn’t take Madeleine’s disappearance seriously… Some of our detectives thought Kate and Gerry looked dodgy. So we made them suspects and hoped something might turn up.”
The tabloids, meanwhile, look at “creepy” Robert Murat, also a suspect - you know, the one the Sun calls an “oddball“
DAILY STAR: “BLOW FOR MADDIE PARENTS”
“TORMENTED Kate and Gerry McCann are to remain official suspects over their daughter’s disappearance. They hoped to have their ‘arguido’ status lifted after Portugal’s top cop Alipio Ribeiro admitted it may have been a mistake to put them in the frame. But government legal advisers yesterday denied they were planning to clear their names”
So the personal views of a policeman are not a deciding factor in an ongoing investigation?
“The 39-year-olds may be considered suspects for as long as the investigation continues – possibly years”
Read all about it!
DAILY MIRROR: “STILL SUSPECTS – Maddy probe team in row over letting McCanns off hook”
Says Judge Eurico Reis: “This case has had more than enough media exposure”
Mr Ribeiro is on the radio…
Says “media pundit” Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa: “He killed the investigation when he said there was haste in making the McCanns arguidos in the case”
Says Antonio Cluny, who we heard from earlier in the Sun: “I don’t know if he’s right or not but this conduct of speaking about pending cases is extremely worrying”
Why did the Sun end its Mr Cluny quote short?
LIVERPOOL DAILY POST: “Madeleine McCann: Liverpool grandad hoping for a miracle”
Says Mr Healy: “Like most people I would like to think that if there is a spark of hope I have to hang on to it. They haven’t found anything yet. We have to believe a miracle can happen. I still believe she is alive and until someone tells me different I will believe”
IRISH INDEPENDENT: “Maddy’s grandad hopes for miracle”
Brian Healey says he is pleased that “Alipio Rebeiro, national director of the Policia Judiciaria, said detectives were too hasty in making the couple suspects over their daughter’s disappearance”
Says he: “I am glad he has said it, it will get things moving to reinstate the fact they’re innocent”

im sorry ian but that is bollocks…you and i have always got on fine so i dont want to argue with you as i have a great deal of respect for you. I assume you were not here earlier when the problems were occuring and of course the lovely carmen has covered her back by removing some of her comments along with my personal details, of which she has now given out on no less than 2 occasions. Please dont take this as a personal attack on yourself as its not meant to be. Im just pissed off mate

Whooow there!! What’s all this?
You and I are both of the same mind, I know, regarding what probably happened.
But Murat being able to say what happened earlier in the week.
This is new to me.
Caplin’s was the restaurant that was slightly further afield than just at the end of Gerry’s garden, wasn’t it?
So Murat saw them there? And knew that the kids were minding themselves?
Mmmm.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Evening all!
Hi jo, brandon , thanks for the greetings earlier. Had to run- job interview. Fingers crossed!
I didn’t know this above - but then I don’t know a lot, other than my gut instinct that somehow the McConns are involved in all of this. IMO
Funny how yet again the subject of water has come up in connection with Madeleine. This is the reservoir on the way to Huelva I assume? And have we worked out where the ban is in relation to this reservoir?
If - god forbid - but then it may be preferable to other fates that could have befallen her, Madeleine is in this reservoir then would they have embalmed her as muted?
I suppose that embalming Diana hid any evidence of pregnancy so would it hide any evidence of drugs etc? in Madeleine. But why embalm someone you’re putting in a lake?
Questions, questions.
More ( soggy) smoke and mirrors I fear.
Is my SC46 here?

Apparently Murat returned to PDL on the 1st May from Exeter ? O’brian and Tanner who live in Exeter had dinner elsewhere on that same night maybe they dined together? and then the other T7 met up later in the evening……………..The place you refered to is Chaplins!

i find Murat has been the most sensible of all,really.Keeping low profile,saying nothing,not making a big fuss…although he may know lost more than we think.One way or the other.
Somehow I doubt he is involved but not too sure either.Dont know if I feel kind of sorry for him or what….
February 5th, 2008 at 11:49 pm
Grande Finale
May I be so bold….my understanding is that the Tanner/O’Briens stayed on to ‘help’.

And him retaining his arguido status means that he cannot be questioned by the media etc. AND means that he can just keep his powder dry until he needs to sue the pants off all those who fingered him.
Lets form a nice orderly queue now…..Jane Tanner, Rachel Oldfield….

bah…I dont bther anymore and I actually love this growing silence.I am goign to like even more when the PJ starts acting
Obviously the newspapers dont know what to say anymore since Clarrie gots tonsilitis and they must keep making cash etc….so,nada.
lets see what there is in a few hours.
The mccann tram seems to have exhausted about everuthing thy could think of or make up…..and now they are looking for a body.
One of those days they will come up with a small body and then…..oh may be I have a wild imagiation but I can expect everything at that high flying level of ongoing crap over the last 8 bloody months…..

Murat is the key witness
I will give you a very good odds on that!!!

Looking for vodka, no doubt.
That tricky Peter, getting everyone to like him and then leaving us high and….well, not dry. But still!
February 5th, 2008 at 11:43 pm
Mrs pigeon,
As I missed your yesterday fun, could you explain - whether you really outed him or you suggested he was a cardigan granny and he chose to not deny? Genuine question on my part, because I always thought he is a male, worked with computers - all male thing?

Sadly and soberly. Because all these twists sell newspapers. Simple and straightforward. The bottom line is paramount.
Stuff Madeleine as far as the editors are concerned, imo, and in time, her parents will also find themselves at the receiving end of Fleet Street’s wrath.
He who lives by the sword and all that………….
