Madeleine McCann prime suspects to be quizzed by British search police in Portugal
Jun 06, 2014 14:03 By Martin Fricker
Lisbon judges grant permission to interview eight people of interest, including three convicted drug dealers, it is claimed
Scotland Yard detectives searching for Madeleine McCann have been given the go-ahead to quiz their prime suspects.
Officers from Operation Grange identified eight people earlier this year who they believe could help solve the seven-year-old case.
Now judicial authorities in Lisbon are said to have granted permission for Metropolitan Police detectives to question the men.
They include three suspected burglars who live close to the wasteland in Praia da Luz currently being searched by British teams.
The men, convicted drug dealers, were traced from phone records which placed them in the area at the time Madeleine vanished.
Scotland Yard refused to comment on the development, saying it does not provide a “running commentary” on the case.
But it is understood no questioning will take place until after the current searches have concluded.
Met detectives believe Madeleine was snatched by a panicked gang who accidentally woke her in the family’s apartment and took her with them.
Mobile phone analysis shows the men made an unusually high number of calls to each other in the hours after she disappeared in May 2007.
It is understood three of the other five suspects worked at the Ocean Club complex where Madeleine was staying with her parents Kate and Gerry.
The news comes after it was revealed officers are carrying out DNA tests on scraps of clothing found on their search of the site.
When news of the breakthrough emerged earlier this year a source close to Madeleine’s parents Kate and Gerry said: “It could be a major breakthrough.
“Kate and Gerry are buoyed up by this latest development. While they don’t want to build up their hopes too high they are feeling optimistic.
“They felt it was only a matter of time before new clues came to light.”
Officers believe the burglars, who have not be identified, had carried out a raid in the resort days before Madeleine vanished, disturbing another child.
That youngster’s parents were outside and rushed in to find the intruders had fled, but Portuguese police attached no significance to the break-in.
The Met is thought to have made checks into the men’s criminal history, their friends and any vehicles they have used.
In an interview earlier this year, Britain’s most senior police officer suggested his officers were closing in on the people who abducted Madeleine.
Scotland Yard boss Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe admitted his Operation Grange team had the names of several suspects.
According to respected Portuguese broadcaster RTP, the suspects will not be quizzed until the current searches in the Algarve resort have finished.
UK sniffer dogs which helped in the hunt for tragic youngster April Jones were again seen scouring wasteland in the popular resort on Friday.
Met police officers also continued to check an old sewer system underneath the cordoned-off area - which is 300 metres from the Ocean Club.
They were said to be looking for objects that may have been abandoned soon after the youngster disappeared.
Uniformed cops also focused their attention on a new patch of scrubland inside the same cordon, which is guarded by their Portuguese counterparts.
Officers were seen studying a flat area of ground at the opposite end of the area which has seen activity over the past five days.
Madeleine’s parents Kate, 46, and Gerry, 45, are being kept informed throughout the work and said they are bracing themselves for “significant news”.
The youngster was nearly four-years-old when she vanished from her parents’ holiday apartment while they dined with friends in a nearby tapas restaurant.
The Portuguese police case - which was criticised after the McCanns were named formal suspects - was shelved the following year.
Operation Grange was set up in 2011 to investigate the disappearance after David Cameron ordered Scotland Yard to review all the evidence in the case.

FFS! Surely NO-ONE can be that incompetent? To ignore this, while inventing sh*te about fridges and masons, Gonzo is giving every impression of having been covering up for Madeleine's abductors.

Too lazy were they?

I think it would be correct in stating that he got a cut of whatever the haul was worth, Sabot.

If he hasn't been snorting Cocaine himself. That would explain a lot. It's a very expensive habit.
