New hope in Maddy inquiry as CPS lawyers travel to Portugal

21 June 2013

Government lawyers have travelled to Portugal to meet police and prosecution officials to discuss new leads in the Madeleine McCann inquiry.

The trip is the first time that lawyers from the Crown Prosecution Service have visited Portugal in connection with Scotland Yard’s £5 million review of the case.

Home Secretary Theresa May is now expected to announce a full-scale Yard investigation into the disappearance of three-year-old Madeleine in May 2007.

London’s chief crown prosecutor Alison Saunders and her deputy Jenny Hopkins flew to Portugal in April to meet counterparts to discuss leads identified in the Met’s review.

Last month the Standard revealed that detectives had identified a list of potential suspects. Detective Chief Superintendent Hamish Campbell, who supervised the review, said there were a “good number” of people who should be questioned as well as “further forensic opportunities”.

The list is thought to number around 20, including Britons. The potential suspects are thought to include a handful of known child-sex offenders who are believed to have been in the Algarve when Madeleine disappeared.

The visit by senior CPS lawyers underlines the belief among senior detectives that the case could be solved.

Portuguese police led the search for Madeleine after she went missing from a holiday apartment in Praia da Luz while her parents dined nearby.

The investigation was shelved in 2008 but the Yard launched a Home Office-funded review in 2011 after David Cameron intervened at the request of Madeleine’s parents, Kate and Gerry McCann. The review team examined hundreds of thousands of documents from the Portuguese investigation and enquiries by a private detective agency employed by Madeleine’s family and identified 195 potential leads.

A full Yard investigation would allow police to interview suspects in Britain though they would seek the assistance of the Portuguese to carry out any enquiries there.

A CPS spokesman said: “We continue to work with the police on this case.”

A Home Office spokesman said it had agreed to “provide the Metropolitan Police with the resources they need”.

Surely Portugal cannot keep on stonewalling out of emmbarrassment?

The potential suspects are thought to include a handful of known child-sex offenders who are believed to have been in the Algarve when Madeleine disappeared.

That'll be the perverts Portugal likes to pretend don't exist in their country, when in fact child abuse is almost endemic, as reading CdM reveals with shocking regularity.

Can't wait to see how the tick-tockers try to spin this....

Here's one now....

#McCann how long till kate and gerry are suspects again?

When pigs learn to do this...

All that tattoo ink has addled what little brains she had.

Wonder if they re-interview the Tapas 9?  Eddie and Keela? Ask the dogs Sandra!

1. Hasn't it sunk in yet with these thickos that all the groundwork with UK witnesses was done ages ago? Have they forgotten the earlier, 'scoping' exercise?

2. Best get in touch with Derek Acorah if they want to talk to Eddiewoof. Not that dogs can talk, anyway.

3. Have they somehow blanked from their minds that Sandra F. was horrified when she discovered she'd been fed a crock of sh*t by Team Gonc about the DNA? That it was 15/37? And could have been just about anyone's?  So she knew exactly what Gerry was talking about?

Oh wait, I forgot - Morais censored that interview, so the Amaral supporters don't know about it.

London’s chief crown prosecutor Alison Saunders and her deputy Jenny Hopkins flew to Portugal in April to meet counterparts to discuss leads identified in the Met’s review.

Portugal still refusing to admit they screwed up, then?

And still not a word from Morais. Wonder if she's worried about just who might be in danger of being arrested? In Portugal?

Tut tut, hounders telling lies already....

Who's having problems seeing info on the McCanns official site?

If you are having problems, do you think with latest developments, they are winding down their company and or been advised they can no longer make money off the public?

Liar and fantasist - this is what it looked like one minute ago:

Cliche alert!

bums are no doubt squeaking in a certain Leicestershire village right now!

How crude - and how very, very wrong. The cliche the tick-tockers really should remember is

TEARS BEFORE BEDTIME.

Still no sign of it dawning on the tick-tockers that this high-profile trip was TWO MONTHS AGO?

They might like to think about what they've read, what's happened, etc., since then. On second thoughts - no, they shouldn't. It's too funny watching them make total idiots of themselves yet again.

Tick tock!

Re: Scotland Yard takes over the inquiry into Maddie's disappearance from Portuguese plus *UPDATE* CPS lawyers fly to Portugal

Would/could the CPS risk any of the T9/T10 doing "an Adrian Prout" on them?

What, strangling one of the CPS lawyers in a shooting lodge, and then burying them in a pheasant pen? Highly unlikely.

Yup, there's a lot of tick-tocking going on isn't there? There are going to be a lot of very disappointed people. Unless of course, SY have been "playing a blinder" like the PJ were doing back in 2007....

Some even seem to think that the famous "15/19" markers will be "enough to prosecute in the UK".....

As long as foxyblondie doesn't start nesting again.

Top British government lawyers have travelled to Portugal to meet officials to discuss new leads in the Madeleine McCann investigation.

The trip is the first time that lawyers from the Crown Prosecution Service have visited the country in connection with Scotland Yard’s £5 million review of the case.

Home Secretary Theresa May is now expected to announce a full-scale Yard investigation into the disappearance of three-year-old Madeleine in May 2007.

Detective Chief Superintendent Hamish Campbell, who supervised the review, said there were a “good number” of people who should be questioned as well as “further forensic opportunities”.

The list is thought to number around 20, including Britons.

The potential suspects are thought to include known paedophiles who are believed to have been in the Algarve when Madeleine disappeared.

The visit by senior CPS lawyers underlines the belief among senior detectives that the case could be solved.

A CPS spokesperson said today: “Prosecutors from CPS London, and investigators from the MPS, visited their Portuguese counterparts on 17-18th April to discuss possible next steps in relation to the disappearance of Madeleine McCann. We continue to work with the police on this case.”

Portuguese police led the search for Madeleine after she went missing from a holiday apartment in Praia da Luz while her parents dined nearby.

The investigation was shelved in 2008 but the Yard launched a Home Office-funded review in 2011 after David Cameron intervened at the request of Madeleine’s parents, Kate and Gerry McCann.

The review team based in Belgravia police station in central London have examined hundreds of thousands of documents from the Portuguese investigation and enquiries by a private detective agency employed by Madeleine’s family and identified 195 potential leads.

A full Yard investigation would allow police to interview suspects in Britain though they would need the assistance of the Portuguese to carry out any enquiries there.

A Home Office spokesman said it had agreed to “provide the Metropolitan Police with the resources they need”.

Anyway I asked him if he had heard anything from Lisbon about the latest news on the McCann girl. He said he had not but would make a few phone calls and get back to me. He did so and, was a bit tight lipped about it. What he could tell me, the McCann parents are not about to be arrested at all. As far as everyone is concerned, the parents are innocent.


Yup. The McCanns (you know, the people who begged Scotland Yard to investigate their daughter's abduction) are not suspects now, and never should have been in the first place.

Who knows, maybe the CPS people wanted to speak to the Portuguese people first-hand, about how their investigations into ex-policemen were going, touchy issues like that, that are going to need a great deal of legal diplomacy?

I believe my Buddy knew why they were there but wasn't prepared to say. He was quite firm that the McCanns have been cleared by all.

I could speculate and come up with several possible reasons, but it would just be guesswork, and probably very wide of the mark, Tony.

The tick-tockers would be well-advised to rid themselves of any notion of the McCanns being suspects. If they really do care about Madeleine McCann, they would be better turning their hatred on the scumbag/s who abducted her, instead of her parents.

But I guess that would spoil their sicko fun.

Tick-tockers are working up a head of steam:

Rumours the mccanns are in Portugal - Ooer.

Yes, rumours. Started by some tw@t on FB listening to an obscure radio station when he was driving who somehow or other mishead 'CPS' as 'McCann'.

No-one will be surprised to know that it's the same bunch of thickos who have spun today's story into:

Are you aware that news has broken today that 2 members of the UK Crown Prosecution service have flown to Portugal?

Ignoring the fact that that story is, in fact, two months old. Now, things may well be going on behind the scenes, but the McCanns are not, and never should have been, suspects.

Mega-tears before bedtime coming in hateworld, methinks.

..and so it seems the Mccanns are back in Portugal????? Anyone know anything more??

Yes. It's bollox started by some cloth-eared idiot in Hoho's hate group.

They would be better employed reading a PROPER report, such as the one from Times Online quoted in full here:

http://stopthemyths.prophpbb.com/post176257.html?sid=a2860a9359cbcb6efa7b5942fc715476#p176257

Not that they will like what it says. Among other things:

Crown prosecutors have flown to Portugal for talks about a new investigation into the disappearance of Madeleine McCann.
Senior lawyers travelled to Lisbon earlier this year as plans for a new international investigation were finalised.
It is understood that details of the new inquiry, to be led by Scotland Yard, will be revealed within the next week.
Madeleine was aged 3 when she disappeared in the resort of Praia da Luz on the Algarve in May 2007.
She is believed to have been abducted from a holiday apartment in the resort where she was sleeping while her parents, Kate and Gerry McCann, dined with friends at a nearby restaurant.
A Portuguese police investigation failed to find who had taken her and was shelved the following year.

Got that? The McCanns are NOT suspects. Oh, who cares if the muppets can grasp that or not, let them carry on making fools of themselves yet again.
