Scotland Yard have replied to Bennett

Tony Bennett Today at 1:27 pm
Following the publication on 4 January of the official remit of the Scotland Yard Review Team under D.C.I. Andy Redwood, I wrote to the Metropolitan Police the following day with a couple of Freedom of Information Act questions, which this time have been answered in full. Here's the reply I got (my highlighting in blue below):

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Dear Mr Bennett,

Freedom of Information Request Reference No: 2012010000814

I respond in connection with your request for information dated 5th January 2012 which was received by the Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) on the same date. I note you seek access to the following information:

1. On what date was the Operation Grange remit agreed?
2. Who agreed the remit?

EXTENT OF SEARCHES TO LOCATE INFORMATION

To locate the information relevant to your request searches were conducted within Operation Grange.

DECISION

I have today decided to disclose the located information to you in full.

The Operation Grange remit was formally agreed in December 2011, just prior to publication on the MPS website. The remit was taken from Lines of Command documents originally drawn up by Detective Chief Superintendent Campbell in May 2011.The remit was agreed by Commander Simon Foy who has oversight of the Homicide Command.

COMPLAINT RIGHTS

Your attention is drawn to the attached sheet which details your right of complaint.

Should you have any further enquiries concerning this matter, please email or contact me on telephone number 020 7230 2372 quoting the reference number above.

Yours sincerely

James Young
SCD Information Manager

Just a reminder that, as Gillyspot noted when first posting the Metropolitan Police press release back on 4 January (OP), their remit included the following words:

It is to examine the case and seek to determine, (as if the abduction occurred in the UK) what additional, new investigative approaches we would take and which can assist the Portuguese authorities in progressing the matter.

I think that gives us two main alternatives:

A. Just as David Cameron proclaimed when announcing the £3.5 million review on 12 May 2012, co-incidentally the date of publication of Dr Kate McCann's book 'madeleine', the review is 'to support the family' i.e. Dr Gerald and Dr Kate McCann - and the review team will therefore bin, burn or otherwise destroy any evidence which appears to conflict with the McCanns' claim of abduction, or

B. This is a genuine search for the truth, and really Scotland Yard should have used the words 'as if the disappearance occurred in the UK', but chose to use the word 'abduction' in order to string along the McCanns and their advisers and disguise the fact that theirs is a serious investigation into alternative explanations for Madeleine McCann's disappearance.

A. Just as David Cameron proclaimed when announcing the £3.5 million review on 12 May 2012
Time travel perchance?

HAHAHAHAHA. I think this deserves a wider audience?

Time to start calling him, Mystic Bennett!

And he is STILL libelling the McCanns:

What is it going to take for them to get the truth through their thick hater heads? Seriously, are they all on retainers from Team Gonc to do their best to meddle with Scotland Yard's work? Is that where all the money in the Unca Am fund has gone?

They really, really do not want Madeleine to be found, and reunited with her family, do they? There must be something in it for them.

Bonny, they will never change, truth means nothing to these people. Hate is the sustenance they need to see them through the day, every day, fifty two weeks of the year. Without it, they would become human. I fear they would be unable to handle that.

I confess, I hadn't realised that whatever Mr Burke saw, had not been followed up by Gonc. Scandalous.

Maybe some kind person could drop a line to the Yard and let them know Bennett is publically accusing them of destroying any evidence which does not support the Fridge/Parental Involvement Theory?

'I saw Madeleine being dragged towards the marina,' says new witness

Ah, I think I got them muddled up with the Ukranians who were seen and later checked and discounted.

The inquiries conducted under the leadership of Paulo Rebelo were carried out on the 4th December 2007 (screenshot), that is 7 months after the alleged sighting, and two-four days short of the 7 months of it being reported.

This is from Bren's blog. So, it was not until Rebelo had taken over that this was checked out? What the heck was Gonc doing? Sorry, NOT doing.

Treating a polite reply with accusations of corruption does not make for goodwill cooperation.
By the way, how's Bennett's inside informant doing these days?

Tony, he does that all the time. He can't seem to help himself.

Oh, is CocoZoe still around?

It's hard to tell, Lily, Bennett's site seems to have an infestation of socks and lunatics, and a few lunatic socks.

Some interesting material here:

Right now, it is looking as if the incident near the marina was not investigated by Gonc.

The George Burke sighting is new to me.

I was aware of it, Pedro, but got it confused with another one, I didn't know it hadn't been investigated properly.

You could be forgiven for thinking Gonc didn't want Madeleine to be found.

bb1, your words are mine.
