Mirror: MADDIE COPS FLY IN TO ARREST THREE SUSPECTS

Stand by for meltdown in the tick-tock brigade - the small print says:

British detectives probing the abduction of Madeleine McCann were last night set to arrest three men.

The Scotland Yard team arrived in the Algarve for secret talks with Portuguese officers after a dramatic breakthrough.

A McCann source called it 'good news'.

Full story: Page 5.

 

Looking forward to reading that.

Yes, let's hope something is finally happening and the Yard/PJ have picked up Madeleine's trail.

Wow....


Kate and Gerry McCann on tenterhooks as Scotland Yard begins new swoop on Maddie kidnap suspects believed to be burglary gang

I'm going in: Cops meet for briefing


Madeleine McCann’s parents were said to be “on tenterhooks” as Scotland Yard detectives looked set to swoop on three suspects after flying to Portugal.
Anxious Kate and Gerry were being kept “fully informed” of events after learning of the dramatic breakthrough in the bid to solve the six-year riddle of their missing daughter.
A source close to the couple said: “Clearly the fact that the police are out there is significant. Kate and Gerry will now be on tenterhooks as they wait for any potential developments.
“The Met are being very pro-active and this is good news in the search for Madeleine and her abductor.”
The source revealed that Kate and Gerry, both 45, of Rothley, Leics, were cautiously hopeful about the latest move. He said: “It is necessary for British police to request the Portuguese authorities allow them to operate on their turf. It means they have the intention of arresting and interviewing X, Y or Z.
“Whether the Portuguese will co-operate remains to be seen. It is a very sensitive issue with differences they have had.
“Kate and Gerry don’t want to build up their hopes but they realise it could be a significant new lead.”
After arriving in the Algarve yesterday the Yard team held a secret four-hour meeting with senior Portuguese officers and prosecutors. The discussions are believed to have centred on getting local officials to sanction the arrests and 
subsequent questioning.
The breakthrough follows a cold-case UK review involving a painstaking trawl through mobile phone data.
It has pin-pointed three men who are said to have been very close to the scene when three-year-old Maddie was snatched from her family’s holiday apartment at the resort of Praia da Luz in May 2007.
The records also indicate the suspects, believed to be a burglary gang, made a high number of calls to each other in the hours following her abduction.

Breakthrough: Cops arrive

Det Chief Insp Andy Redwood, who is leading the UK hunt, arrived at police headquarters in Faro just after 10am clutching two bulging box files.
He was accompanied by three colleagues for the meeting with Luís Mota Carmo, the director of the Polícia Judiciária.
Mr Carmo heads a team of six Faro detectives who have been carrying out work on behalf of Scotland Yard.
The Mirror revealed earlier this month that the Crown Prosecution Service had sent an International Letter of Request to Portuguese police seeking permission to question the new suspects. Portugal’s attorney general’s office confirmed last week that it had received the letter.
An insider said of yesterday’s talks: “It’s the first time the UK and Portuguese police have met since the request was made.”
He added: “The investigation is at a sensitive stage and it remains to be seen what action will be taken by the Portuguese police.”[/font][/color]

Things do seem to be happening at last.....

Oh yes, Bonny.  No wonder the McCanns are on tenterhooks.  They could be getting some really positive news about their daughter.

I wonder if the haters are finally going to stop claiming that Clarrie invented the 'three burglars' story?

Or that the police are there to talk about the information that the hounders sent to them.  

The Yard and PJ probably had a good laugh at their 'dossiers' over lunch, exchanged notes on deluded nutters, that sort of thing.

Why not?  They deserve a good laugh as much as anyone else.   

Yes, can't you just picture them exchanging stories about armchair defectives making nuisances of themselves?

I agree with lily, bb1.

Pretending to not only be like them but better?  Oh yes.  What's not to like.                 

Style tip for Gonzo:



This is what middle-aged men are supposed to look like when they are engaged in important matters. Unlike disgraced ex-policemen who turn up for court looking as if they've been sleeping in a ditch.

Gonc's not a gentleman, Bonny.  He's a slob so of course he can't look smart.

I agree with: "This is what middle-aged men are supposed to look like when they are engaged in important matters. Unlike disgraced ex-policemen who turn up for court looking as if they've been sleeping in a ditch."; "Gonc's not a gentleman, Bonny. He's a slob so of course he can't look smart."

Case 'Maddie': British Police in the Algarve


British authorities were reunited on Tuesday, with the Judicial Police.


Four elements of British police investigating the case of the disappearance of Madeleine McCann in 2007, in Praia da Luz, were yesterday in a meeting with the PJ in Faro.

The CM has learned that the approaches applied by the British authorities were discussed, through a letter rogatory, including the interrogations of three suspects who made phone calls near the place

The Gonzo Fan Club is shrieking its ugly collective head off at this news - so be careful out there, folks, they aren't happy haters today!

They can't bear the thought of the Yard/PJ finding Madeleine McCann, or the scumbags that abducted her.

Thank you, Pedro.

I see Guedes is telling Giant Porkies again.

Why are they four ? Have three of them come to handcuff themselves to the three burglars on the way back ?
The Portuguese media ignore that event.
