Madeleine McCann: Robert Murat’s Relief
MADDYWATCH - Anorak’s at-a-glance guide to press coverage of Madeleine McCann
DAILY MIRROR: “Murat: It’s big relief”
Madeleine McCann suspect Robert Murat, 34, last night spoke of his joy that he looks likely to be officially cleared in days.
After having his computers returned, he said at his Praia da Luz home last night: “I’m so relieved.”
No mention of the Mirror’s super sleuth Lori Campbell who fingered “weird” Murat.
DAILY MAIL: “Murat could soon be cleared as Madeleine suspect after police return his possessions”
Even his computer - with the Sun’s “kid porn”.
His lawyer Francisco Pagarete said: “The police received an order from the public prosecutor to give everything back to Robert. All his items have been returned. We believe it is another step towards his clearance as a suspect. It’s a good sign.
“But we will have to wait and see. There is nothing official saying his status as an arguido is being revoked.”
Even if yesterday the Sunday People had “CLEARED” him.
No word from the The Mail’s Neil Sears, who told us: “There was something more to the friendly expat who called himself ‘Rob’ than met the eye.” Murat made Sears “feel slightly uncomfortable”.
DAILY TELEGRAPH: “Robert Murat close to being cleared over Madeleine McCann disappearance”
Robert Murat has moved a step closer to being cleared as a suspect in Madeleine McCann’s disappearance after police returned possessions seized from him 10 months ago.
Says hi mother, Jenny Murat, 74: “Every single item that the police took has been returned to us. Of course we hope it means Robert’s arguido status will be lifted shortly. But we’ve had no official confirmation that that is the case and we’re not getting too excited.”

Yes, you said the McCanns are innocent of direct involvement in their childs disappearance. How daft is that!
——————–
Well why is daft?
You could say that as a ‘direct’ result of their negligence Madeleine disappeared. But ‘direct’ involvment of their childs disappearance are two completely different issues. One I think the oh so intelligent Chesty fails to understand. Doh!

McCanns’case: Sergey Malinka admits to leave Portugal
http://joana-morais.blogspot.com/2008/03/mccannscase-sergey-malinka-admits-to.html
Maddie: Witness in the process says that he had ‘enough’, after the fire in the car.
The Russian Sergey Malinka, one of the witnesses from the case related to the disappearance of Madeleine McCann almost a year ago in the Praia da Luz (Lagos), admits to leave Portugal as a consequence of the fire that, in the last dawn of Thursday destroyed his car completely. “It is a vengeance for the involvement of my name in the Madeleine’s case and I am full of this! It is already the second car that they set on fire; I do not even know what I to do with my life. But if the things continue, I am going to return to my Country” told Sergey Malinka, angry, to neighbors and friends in Praia da Luz. The DN knows the Russian’s car insurance did not cover risks against fires. Besides, Malinka, who in the meantime rented a blue Renault Clio, will still have to support the costs of the damages caused to a vehicle, which was parked in the front of his car. With 23 years, the Russian citizen Sergey Malinka [son of a carpenter and of a maid] in Praia da Luz, is believed to be an expert in computer technology and he previously owned a computer near the Marina of Lagos.

Malinka made a complain to the PJ about the fire in his car
Sergey Malinka says that he only wants to be left alone
The Russian citizen who is a witness in case of the disappearance of Madeleine McCann made a complaint in the Judiciary Police Offices of Portimão against strangers, because he believed that someone set his car on fire. The PJ also believes in a crime and is investigating.
The Audi A4 of Sergey Malinka, which was parked near his parents house with whom he lives, in the street on 25th of April, in the Praia da Luz, was consumed by the flames, in the dawn of the day before yesterday. In the sidewalk near to the debris of the car was written in red letters the word “Fala” [Speak, Talk].
To the JN, the Russian citizen confirmed the complaint and admits that he does not know who could have set his vehicle on fire, not even what they meant with the message that was left in the sidewalk.
“I keep on living a bad dream that never ends “, said Malinka, which it refuses to say if this situation has to do with the fact of being a witness of the case Maddie or because he had had business with Robert Murat, one of the Arguidos the process, like the couple Kate and Gerry, Madeleine’s parents.
Exasperated with the situation and with the involvement of his name in this case, Malinka said to the JN that he is going to stop speaking with journalists and spoke of “friends who stabbed him in the back”. “I only want to live in peace”, he declared.
This IT expert was wrapped in case of the disappearance of the British girl, allegedly due to the business that he kept with Murat. The Judiciary Police was at his home, in the 16th of May, 13 days after the three-year-old girl had disappeared from the room where she was sleeping with the twin brothers, in Ocean Club.
In that occasion the investigators took several computers from his home and from an office that he had in Lagos, objects that, according to Malinka, were never returned.
Sergey was heard by the Judiciary and his kept as a witness, though there are no suspicions regarding his involvement in Madeleine’s disappearance.

I’m just amused that a bunch of intelligent people can sit around all day every day discussing nothing, and trading childish insults.
Hmmm yes I see what you mean in that respect…its a cold snowy bank holiday so many people ‘tune in’ for some of the day to pass the time.
However, a bunch of intelligent people sat around in PDL and a child is missing…perhaps trading insults is not so bad?

Maddie’s Case: Robert Murat Receives Possessions Seized by Authorities
http://joana-morais.blogspot.com/2008/03/maddies-case-robert-murat-receives.html
Computers returned after examinations
Four computers apprehended to Robert Murat, one of the Arguidos in Maddie’s case, as well as two others that there were apprehended to Sergey Malinka, witness in the same process, were returned by the Public Prosecution Office to the legitimate owners, revealed a judicial person connected with the investigations. “Technical expertises were carried out to the hard disks of six computers, namely to the deleted files. We cannot reveal the content of what was found. The data are still being worked. But, as of now, there is nothing that ties these two individuals to the disappearance of the child. We can only confirm that Malinka was working in the conception of an Internet Site for the Murat’s company”, said the same source. Robert Murat considers that the devolution of the computers is a sign of that the authorities have nothing against him. “It’s a good sign. If there was something that was incriminating me they would not return to me the goods”, he said, relieved, to the press. The Portuguese authorities will leave for England next week to question the friends with whom the McCanns had dinner with on that day and more concrete information will most likely appear on a case that is far from being resolved.

English Arguido waited ten months
PJ returns possessions to Robert Murat
“Arguido feels that this delivery is a positive sign that there will not be substance to accuse him”
The English citizen, resident in the Praia da Luz, who was constituted as an arguido 12 days after the disappearance of Madeleine McCann of a tourist resort of Lagos, in the 3rd of May of last year, has received the personal goods that were apprehended by the Judiciary Police. “We were contacted by PJ, on Monday or Tuesday, and they told us that the possessions were at our disposal “, confirmed to the CM Francisco Pagarete, the lawyer of arguido Robert Murat.
In the previous Sunday, the CM announced the discovery of surveillance electrical device [GPS] in two vehicles of Murat and the hack sabotage of his realty state site on-line, of which Michaela Walczuch is a partner. The article mentioned the delay in the devolution of the personal goods to Murat, to whom the PJ had only handed over a cell phone. Murat went to the PJ in Portimão last Wednesday in the afternoon. He was handed over loads of apprehended clothes and three portable computers, without them he was having a difficult time in retaking his professional activity. The computers will be tested this week, to check if they have problems.
At the same time the Police returned to Michaela PC periphericals that were still held in custody. Murat did not receive back some papers written by hand with notes, addresses and phone numbers, which were annexed to the process.

There is no point anyone asking you to answer any questions any more as you just ignore them and resort to patronising behaviour.
I do not think I am superior to you, I know it and will not dumb down to your level of name calling. In fact I am going to scroll past your posts as they add zero to this or any other discussion.
