Madeleine McCann: Carlos Anjos Says, Clarence Mitchell Replies And The Daily Express Is Quiet
MADDYWATCH - Anorak’s at-a-glance guide to press coverage of Madeleine McCann
THE SUN: “Maddie cops snub”
Carlos Anjos, head of the Portuguese Police Federation, says: “There are bigger problems in the police”, than the case of Madeleine McCann
Says Clarence Mitchell, the McCanns’ spokesman: “Mr Anjos is entitled to his opinion but it is entirely unhelpful”
This the same Carlos Anjos who once noted:
“There is no criminal investigation which can feed a news frenzy for six months, so what we have seen are both English and Portuguese journalists behaving in a scandalous and unprofessional way. Writing terrible stories in the papers, some of which have clearly affected the McCanns… now we have to say that the McCanns are partly to blame for this. Because it was something they created”
And then one of the oddest lines yet seen in a newspaper:
“Meanwhile cops have ruled out a theory the four-year-old could have been snatched by Swiss pervert Urs Hans Von Aesch. He blew his chance in august after killing a girl of five”
Anyone care to explain that comment?
DAILY STAR: “FIND MADDIE? WE’VE GOT BETTER THINGS TO DO. HEAD COP BLASTS McCANN SEARCH”
Says Mr Anjos: “There are bigger problems than the Maddie case”
Why the Star should appear shocked at this seem unclear, given the tabloid stories of paedophilia being rife in Portugal
Says Mr Anjos: “I am certain that all of my colleagues involved in the investigation are doing everything they can to discover what happened”
DAILY MIRROR: “Maddy’s ‘not our priority’”
Mr Anjos made his views known in Portuguese newspaper 24 Horas
MARI Luz Cortes – Still missing. Her father has posted a £110,000 reward, The paper reports that police are “scaling down the search”
DAILY MAIL: “Maddie? We’ve got bigger problems”
Says Mr Anjos: “But with respect, there are bigger problems in the Policia Judiciaria than the Madeleine case”
DAILY EXPRESS: NO MADELEINE NEWS – Which is the biggest Madeleine McCann news of the past six months
Madeleine McCann: hype, frenzy and speculation

From the Sky News Web Site:
“Meanwhile, the Portuguese Attorney General’s office has said a review of the formal suspect status of the McCanns will take place at “the appropriate time”.”
Define appropriate time?

Yes, there’s a couple of people here, I would be definitely interested in to meet
As for my posts: I’m very busy at the moment and try and keep one window open to follow here a bit. Of course, I do miss a lot this way. Every time I look there are a “hundred” new posts [and that's why I get sometimes "nerved", forgive me
].
I like your style and read your posts with pleasure.
Looks like we may have a new thing : an anonymous British diplomat making rather bold [yet not completely unexpected, if it's true] statements. How many British diplomats with sufficient knowledge of this case would have left Portugal recently…??????

Totje…. I think its because we don’t take much notice usually.
Its the media hype for the big win. Again!
I have a set of numbers for the ordinary lottery that I do every week because they were my numbers at work; then I left and because I know them I’m scared not to do it! But the euro I only do when its hyped like this.
Fun to imagine…. think of the charity foundation that could set up….. after I have my yacht of course .

A tort is a civil worng, it can be about many things, you are referring to the tort of negligence, appropriately on this forum!
Parents have a duty of care to their children. It has to be proved that it was failed and that the object of the duty suffered as a result. Madeleine could bring a case of negligence against her parents and win!

So they are guilty of negligence, so they arent innocent then.
Of course, if she had an accident whilst they were doing those things, then they have covered up disposal of her body.
As you and others have failed time after time to come up with any reasonable theory for stranger abduction, then it is becoming more and more obvious that there was in fat no strange abducton

are we all geared up for the £95 million euro lottery draw tonight? fantasy time!
*********
I allways think why not making 95 people very happy with one million?
It seems though they sell more tickets when the prices are higher. Is it because we’re getting greedy?
February 8th, 2008 at 5:23 pm

DISGUSTING
08.02.2008
Pressures British “on affected the smooth conduct of the investigation”
David Miliband, the Minister for Foreign Affairs British present in Portugal at the time of interviews with Kate and Gerry McCann, was informed in advance by its Portuguese congener of the Portuguese authorities’ intention to set up the couple as arguidos and arrest prominent Kate McCann. “It’s the minister who had given instructions to the Consulate of Portimão to negotiate the departure of McCann, ensuring that there would be no preventive prison”, accusing one of the diplomats who had treated the case to the time, adding “usually it is not our official role.”
“The Portuguese justice is doing his work and British consular services are doing their duty,” Miliband told the agency EFE on the sidelines of the meeting of Ministers of Foreign Affairs of the European Union to Portugal.
Although the subject remains sensitive, both in Portugal and the United Kingdom, the diplomat maintaining its assertions: “Labour delegates from the Foreign Office, especially that of Clarence Mitchell, has affected the smooth conduct of the investigation”.
The Prime Minister Gordon Brown himself who recommended that David Miliband sending Clarence Mitchell Portugal as a delegate at the Foreign Office with the specific instruction to accompany the couple McCann and increase the pressure on authorities Portuguese.
“He had greater authority than the consul or ambassador… and he has not asked to use it,” said the same diplomat - who is no longer employed at Portugal today.
After a meeting between McCann and the Judicial Police, Clarence Mitchell had stressed - said the diplomat - “the inspector Gonçalo Amaral was an obstacle but that the press went to take care of him and eventually be rejected of the investigation. ”
Despite an aggressive campaign in the British press against Inspector Gonçalo Amaral, coordinator of the Department of Criminal Investigation (DIC) Portimão, the head of the investigation of the disappearance Madeleine McCann has stood up to the month October. publication by the Diário de Noticias of an article or Gonçalo Amaral reportedly accused the British police to work solely “on what the couple McCann and he claims it suits him,” led the National Director of Judicial Police, Alipio Ribeiro, al’écarter of his duties: “That’s exactly what Clarence Mitchell had advocated,” says our source.
Gonçalo Amaral was contacted by the journalist about an anonymous e-mail accusing a former employee of the Ocean Club. “The journalist or the inspector himself may have been manipulated,” our source confirmed that the police did its job, “both in Portugal than in the United Kingdom”, but the case “has become a political and diplomatic issue ‘or nobody want to lose face.
Manipulation or not, the journalist admits today its aversion to the case Madeleine: “I do not want to hear about more of this story.”
