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?

As for the alleged photos in today’s lead Anorak story, I’m sure I read somewhere that whilst out walking on the evening 3 May Jes Wilkins saw a woman in a violet dress near apt 5A. So maybe the photos will be relevant if they show a woman in a violet dress.
************************************************************************
I think the woman in the violet dress turn out to be Jane Tanner, who he didn’t know at that time; he found out afterwards that it was her.

August 13th, 2008 at 1:52 pm
a memory card would be small enough
August 13th, 2008 at 1:51 pm
Hmm Willo … yes …. another one to ponder about …
24 pics in a wallet would’ve made one FAT wallet … p’haps stolen because said thief thought there was plenty of $$$ in it, but NO … a couple of revealing photo’s .. which said thief thought may come in very handy sometime in future ….. (all this now in my own twisted mind of course).

I would love to, if only some nice portuguese person would write it in english first
By the way the mc cann files have done some comparrisons or discrepencies.

Since there is no evidence of the existence of a T10 in any of the documents we so far have access to it seems somewhat bizarre to imagine that T10 existed at all.
After all, the files are now available, Amaral has written about the early part of the investigation, and yet no-one who was there has suggested that there was a T10.
Or a T10.5…
August 13th, 2008 at 1:48 pm
T10? Heathrow is expanding fast these days…

The tappas 10th is the most likey as they might have that sort of money.
But is he an MP ?
A millionaire?
A diplomat ?
A mafia boss ?
A Cliff hanger ?

Take a copy of Amaral’s book, a English/Portuguese dictionary, a pen and paper …….

Brian Kenedy in his pants?
The elusive 12 year old ( I keep picturing the boy out of Two And A Half Men
)
A row ?
A look of panic?
A sly under the table rub between 2 of them ?
The 24 bottles of wine and cocktail shot ?
