Met police set for Portugal return in search for Madeleine

Scotland Yard officers could return to Portugal as early as next month as part of the ongoing investigation into the disappearance of Madeline McCann.

Reports this week claim the development comes after weeks of negotiations between the British and Portuguese forces and has been described as a ‘make-or-break’ moment.
It is understood the officers have been granted permission to interview up to seven key suspects identified earlier this year – three of whom will be questioned for a second time.
In comments to The Portugal News on Thursday, the Attorney-General’s office in Lisbon said: “The Public Prosecutor’s Office in the past few weeks received a new international letter of request from British authorities with regards to investigations relating to the disappearance of Madeleine McCann.”
This is the fifth such letter to be received by Portuguese authorities since last October.
Last month, British detectives admitted upon their return to the UK that “no evidence relating to Madeleine McCann had been identified.”
With questioning in the Faro’s Polícia Judiciária police headquarters of four suspects ending, sources close to the case told The Portugal News: “Unfortunately we are nowhere nearer to solving the case than we were seven years ago” though it appears the investigation is far from over.
This comes after the largest ever overseas deployment undertaken by British police last month in Praia da Luz in June, though British police did indicate that new lines of inquiry could be pursued in the coming months.
Metropolitan Police said in June that in addition to the activities which have now taken place “further requests are being compiled and will be submitted in due course.”
British police further explained that there was still “a substantial amount of work yet to be completed in the coming months.”
Questioned over whether relations between the two police forces have become strained over the past few months, sources here said: “Portuguese police have provided total support of British detectives as is requested by law and will continue to do so in the future.”

Gonzo again, no doubt.
