Madeleine McCann: Tourist Has New Pictures Of Tapas 7 For Sale
PAULO Reis has published an interesting piece of information on the Madeleine McCann case on his site. Read on:
“McCann case: 24 pictures that may help to re-open the case
A tourist who was (allegedly) at the Tapas Bar, on the night of May 3, took several pictures where the table with the McCanns and their friends is visible.
The tourist was with his wife and another couple and they took pictures from each other, with the McCann table on the background.
The owner of the pictures is (said to be) negotiating with several British newspapers to sell the rights for an exclusive publication, but with a condition: before being published, the pictures must be sent to the Portuguese police.
The tourist is well aware that the pictures may have important evidence related with a crime and not sending it to police is considered also a crime, in his country.
Yesterday, a well known legal office from UK (allegedly) knew about the existence of those pictures and contacted the owner, offering to buy all pictures for 600,000 Euros. But the British lawyers didn’t accept the condition set by the owner – that the pictures should be sent to the Portuguese police, just before the transaction. The lawyers’ office wanted to be free to choose the moment when the pictures would be send to Portuguese authorities, so the offer was refused by the tourist.“

Wrires Carmen:
Assuming that the above is true and genuine, it begs the question, when exactly did ‘British lawyers’ feel that they were able to dictate when information in a criminal case should be handed over to the police? Is Madeleine not a Ward of Court, are they not officers of the court? Do they not have a duty to the court - the British court - not just the Portuguese court, to instantly hand over any information that may be pertinent to solving the riddle of what happened to Madeleine.
I have mixed feelings regarding the purchase of information when it is done by newspapers, but is this a new era, that information is being purchased by lawyers, who then decide what to do with it?
Why has the tourist not come forward before?
What or whom, is, or is not, in those photographs that makes them worth 600,000 euros.
Where is the 600,000 euros coming from - the last we heard the McCann Find Madeleine fund was down to it’s last 480,000 euros.So it could not possibly be the legal firm involved with the McCann Fund…could it?
One other question would be if the tourist sold the pictures to a legal firm intent on suppression - would the gent have his collar felt?

Hello and goodbye all
August 13th, 2008 at 12:59 pm
So this “supposed” tourist supposedly took some “important” photos.
If true makes me wonder:
1. wasn’t this tourist tracked down and interviewed by the pj? Why [not]?
2. if s/he was tracked down and interviewed did s/he tell what s/he saw? What did s/he tell or why not?
3. if s/he was tracked down and interviewed, did the pj ask for his/her photos?
4. why didn’t s/he [supposedly] offer the pictures to the pj in the first place?
5. what could/would the pictures proove? why should they be important?
6. why wait till now to offer them?
7. why does s/he want money for the pictures? Isn’t finding Madeleine or finding out what really happened more important?
Makes me think it is another attempt to get money by a scam [imo alledgedly etc]
====> gone!

A rapid translation over the burning matter of the shutters and accompanying lies from Esplandor de La Forma
“The version that somebody from the group was going to the flat to check over the children every 15 or 30 minutes falls apart”,says the PJ in the files.
According to MO”s declarations,there has been a time during the dinner when 2 or 3 of them were away from the table.But no waiter can recall this
“Their declarations are incoherent and it can be verified/noted they are lying,maintain the investigators”.But this thesis cannot be proved by the PJ”
“Shutters up or down?
window opened or shut?
Kate & Gerry cant agree between themselves.The woman does not remember she had opened the window,according to the PJ, through which the supposed kidnapper went through.The mother could have touched it the night before,when gerry and kate had a row,and the woman slept in the childrens bedroom……”

However, since the offspring is but newly returned from foreign parts, we have a ritual set of activities to enjoy.

Garth, my thoughts are worth a great deal more than tuppence, as you well know.
However, since the offspring is but newly returned from foreign parts, we have a ritual set of activities to enjoy.
But, for the avoidance of all possible doubt, whilst the offspring is blonde and green eyed, she is not 4.
Just in case anyone was wondering…

‘dont forget no light left on even’
He was holding a torch in his third hand, BF, as you know perfectly well.
I just don’t see why you keep dragging up all these old quibbles; we established months ago that the guy had 4 arms and no face.
So why bring it up yet again?
August 13th, 2008 at 12:24 pm
I have to say for satire no-one does it better than you guys.
Pure genius
Chateleine, I loved your whoosh clunked post.
It was actually a eureka moment for me.
And don’t worry mods i am not going to repeat it either.

So in a nutshell - none of us a have got a clue whose fingerprints (if any) were found before or after the shutters (or/and) windows were possibly/maybe cleaned by said unknown persons.
Brilliant! Lets move on………..
—————————————————————————-
According to this translated section of the official police report—-
–”At page 884 and the following, it was added the lophoscopy [study of fingerprints] report where only finger traces of KATE HEALY were found, namely on the window’s frame who would have been opened at the time of the disappearance,…..”
