Madeleine McCann: English Request For Secrecy
ANORAK looks at developments in the Madeleine McCann case. Writes AGW on the Forums:
While Robert Murat and Co .were settling large sums of money in London’s High Court yesterday there appears to have an intriguing little development in Portugal. It may not have been a good day to bury bad news - it travels very quickly these days.
The Portuguese tabloid Correio Da Manha produced a Page One lead with no mention of Mr Murat or his new riches.
It says under the banner headline:
English in Portimao to protect secrecy
‘CM’ reveals : Found 15 of the 19 genetic markers
A magistrate and two policemen, including Stuart Prior, responsible for liaison with PJ, were yesterday at the Court of Portimão to try to convince Magellan Meneses, prosecutor, not to release the secret of justice of the whole process of disappearance of Madeleine. One of the things that the British claim that it is not known is the report of the laboratory in Birmingham, which states that “15 of the 19 genetic markers found traces collected in a bag in the car the couple coincide [with the child disappeared].
The claim (request)was denied”
We are grateful to two Opinions posters, firstly Rasputin and Jo for the information and Google translations. The subsequent discussion in the Opinion section of the site has been about the reason for such a request.
Was it bad day? Does anyone have a close contact in Portugal who can tell us exactly what is going on?
Was the request to suppress evidence and, if so, what evidence? What reasons were given for that request and was the request made in open court? Do other Portuguese newspapers carry the story?
Our view is this may be very important.
What is interesting about the posting above is my assumption you will all know instantly I am referring to the case of the missing child Madeleine McCann and the police investigation into it…and you probably did. Frightening isn’t it?
From my point of view a good bit is the Google translation converts what would have been a Sun/ Mirror/ Express/ Mail banner screaming Exclusive!!!!! as the Correio Da Manha bleating “CM reveals”…not quite what the sub-editors intended at all…take look via the link above.

An open mind jo an open mind, justice is only served if all the possibilities are examined, and the Evora report maintains abduction as a possibility.
***********
Very true :justice is served if all the possibilities are examined and of course abuction has run high at the beginning of the investigation.
It is true the first published court ruling on the Madeleine case confirms that the police inquiry covers homicide, abandonment, concealment of a corpse and abduction.
The PJ has of course looked into the abduction theory and this is in the files.They obviously had to investigate it and reported all the evidence for or/and against it
Thats what it means.It does not mean at all there was an abduction
Off now.Too tired

Developments seem to be breaking right and left.

July 19th, 2008 at 3:57 am
And your point is, is at that abduction is not one of them, or are you just being obtuse.
July 19th, 2008 at 3:57 am

‘An open mind jo an open mind, justice is only served if all the possibilities are examined, and the Evora report maintains abduction as a possibility.’
the evora ruling lists the all the line of investigation into madeleine’s disappearance as presented by the pj to the court.

jajajajaja I dont think so
The trick is NOT to believe anything written in the media anymore
Wait for monday,although it could be disappointing
the problem with that of course, is that it will be in the media
‘Do you like the new anorak format? I dont .Its doing my head in

it’s not good, but in firefox you can disable at least the pictures. if you look at the source code you can see the post counts.
