MADELEINE MCCANN: POLICE: WE ARE MAKING PROGRESS



Tuesday December 6,2011

SCOTLAND Yard detectives made a secret visit to Spain in the hunt for Madeleine McCann, it was revealed yesterday.
Officers spent three days in Barcelona for confidential talks with Spanish police and law enforcement officials.
The Yard confirmed the summit had taken place as it emerged detectives have so far made three visits to Portugal in the hunt for new leads.
And police sources said yesterday: “We are making progress.” Madeleine’s parents, Kate and Gerry McCann, praised the Yard yesterday and said: “We are pleased the review is making progress.”
Madeleine was three when she vanished from a holiday flat at the resort of Praia da Luz on the Algarve, Portugal, in May 2007.
No trace of her has been found and there is no clear picture about what happened.
But one line of inquiry was that she had been kidnapped by a paedophile gang and wassmuggled into Spain by road or sea. Speculation that the key to the mystery lay across the border was fuelled by several sightings in Spain in the days following Madeleine’s disappearance.

The three-man team from the Yard’s Operation Grange squad spoke in detail about the sightings and various theories with their Spanish counterparts.
The trip to Spain last month and the visits to Portugal are believed to be “laying the ground work” for future liaison between police in the three countries.
There is no question that the trips either to Spain or Portugal have produced any major breakthroughs. More liaison visits are planned for the near future.
Yesterday, a Yard spokeswoman confirmed the three detectives spent three days in Barcelona from November 23 to 25. She added: “The review continues. There has been very good co-operation with Portuguese authorities and liaison will continue.

“We are not prepared to discuss specific details of these visits nor speculate about any future deployments to Portugal or elsewhere.”
Portuguese police, assisted by Leicestershire Police – the McCanns’ home force – carried out a massive investigation into Madeleine’s disappearance. But the official inquiry was formally shelved in July 2008.
The McCanns, both doctors from Rothley, Leicestershire, are convinced clues were missed and potentially vital leads never followed up.
In despair, the couple hired a team of private investigators.
The Yard launched Operation Grange in May following a request to the then Commissioner Sir Paul Stephenson from Home Secretary Theresa May, backed by the Prime Minister.
In August, police made their first of three visits to Portugal for talks with the officers involved in the original inquiry.
It is believed 30 officers are working on the review under Detective Chief Inspector Andy Redwood, who is thought to have taken part in the Spanish talks.
There was unease among some politicians about the amount of resources dedicated to the review.

The Operation Grange team is solely engaged on the Madeleine case while other squads handle several murder investigations and cold case reviews at the same time.
Mrs McCann, 43, and Mr McCann, 42, a heart specialist, are convinced a major breakthrough will now eventually be made.
Kate McCann wrote on the Find Madeleine website at the end of October: “It is a big relief to us that our Government finally agreed for a review to take place. We are grateful to them and to the Metropolitan Police Service for undertaking this fundamental and highly valuable procedure.
“Although it will be a lengthy and difficult process, it is definitely a major step forward for Madeleine.”
The McCanns say they will never give up hope of finding their daughter alive.
On the website they state: “There is absolutely nothing to suggest that Madeleine has been harmed. Madeleine is still missing and someone needs to be looking for her.
“She is very young and vulnerable and needs our help. We love her dearly and miss her beyond words.”
Portuguese files reveal there have been reported sightings of Madeleine in the US, Hong Kong and New Zealand as well as Portugal and Spain.

==========================

The only reason I can think of for the trip to Barcelona and talk of 'future liaison' is that Scotland Yard really do have reason to think that Madeleine was there at some point?

They sure won't, Lily. I am just waiting for the Sun to update. I swear I can hear the sound of many hater carpets being chewed.

That's a good idea, Bonny. They must also be spitting feathers that the Gonc Squad did nothing about alerting the borders for 12 hours.

Maybe Morais is keeping a low profile because some comments may be circulating which are not favorable to Gonc?

Hater on Amazon:

Do you think the India sighting will be investigated by SY? Do you think the India sighting should be investigated by the PJ and/or SY

What on earth for? The UK police were involved at the time it happened, when, sadly, it turned out to be a mistake.

Scotland Yard know all about it, have done from the start.

That they didn't tell the pitchforkers all about it is of no importance whatsoever - it was none of their business.

Hater on MM:

The Sun`s piece about this is asking people to phone the McCann`s number if they have information ! Surely you don`t give suspects information ! When I posted a comment outlining the awful blunder the Sun had made, the moderaters removed it immediately. fgs they have not been cleared of the crime.

1. The McCanns are not 'suspects' anywhere in the real world, only in the minds of haters and pitchforkers.

2. Good for the Sun mods.

3. Yes, they have been cleared - did no-one tell you what the AG of Portugal had to say?

The archiving of the Process concerning Arguidos Gerald Patrick McCann and Kate Marie Healy, because there are no indications of the practise of any crime under the dispositions of article 277 number 1 of the Penal Process Code.

How the mighty have fallen!

I don't know about Bennett challenging Dr. McCann. I'm surprised Gerry didn't punch him on the nose. I am sure everyone would have cheered if he had.

Well said, Tony. Love the leaflets

Oh, do grow up and stop spouting rubbish - Halligen is already in the hands of the law and M3 has nothing to do with anything.

They are in Spain because there have been persistent reports that Madeleine was taken to Spain after she was abducted; and as was pointed out, she is a British Ward of Court, so the Yard doesn't actually have to ask anyone permission to do anything if they are acting in her interests - which finding her clearly is.

My friends, I received this through google alert:

Attorney General's office out of new British investigations

http://www.tvi24.iol.pt/sociedade/maddie-pgr-scotland-yard-tvi24/1305736-4071.html

link with video

translation:

The British police are investigating the disappearance of Maddie McMann without help from the Portuguese authorities. This information was confirmed to TVI24 tby he Attorney General's Office.

Three investigators from Scotland Yard were between 23 and 25 November in Barcelona. followed tracks of British child who disappeared from an apartment in Praia da Luz in the Algarve in 2007.

The presence of investigators in Spain may indicate that the child has been brought to this country. But over here to Scotland Yard did not come into contact with national investigators.

"Scotland Yard had no contact with the Attorney General's Office on this issue. In the process there is no knowledge of the existence of new data / facts about the disappearance of Maddie.The process will only be reopened under the provisions of art. 279. Of the Code of Criminal Procedure, or if new elements that invalidate the basics of archiving, "says the PGR in a written response to the TVI24.

The case was filed by the Attorney General's Office (PGR). Pinto Monteiro secured about a year to reopen only if there is new data.

In May, the Scotland Yard reopened the case after the personal intervention of Prime Minister of the UK, David Cameron.

It is unknown whether British investigators have discovered a new fact that has passed along the Portuguese police.

In August this year, Scotland Yard confirmed to Lusa news agency that they appeared in Portugal to discussed the case with Portuguese investigators. At the time, the Judicial Police (PJ) and PGR told that they ignore this information

Thank you, Pedro

I see the official facebook page are asking for more info on the woman in Barcelona?

Wonder if there might finally be a breakthrough?

Ah yes.....it's very revealing that the Pitchforkers are all screaming like banshees that it is even back in the picture. Why are they so enraged?

I do like seeing them 'demand' that Scotland Yard 'investigate' the mistaken Leh sighting -you'd think it would have sunk in by now that the Yard know all about it - know all about a great many things.

They surely don't think the police are going to tell the likes of them anything - the UK police know only too well what the pitchforkers are like.

That lead always did sound credible to me, if you consider the whole set up. The boat that was said to have left The Marina on The Algarve late that night which they failed to trace. The time it would have taken to get to Barcelona by sea. And The Abductor heading for the beach in Praia da Luz. All a bit too coincidental. But I never did think that the Australian boat had anything to do with it.

Pitchforker on the Mail:

'They also spent the first five months reading all the information from the case file which had to be translated from Portuguese to English.'>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >That is just absolutely ridiculous! The Portuguese case files were released in 2008 and have ALL been translated into English and are freely available in many places on the internet for anyone to read.

Really? And just how honest does anyone think Team Gonc members were being when they translated those files?

We've found a number of deliberate mistranslations and ommissions in them; people watched in horror as the 'Gaspar statements' were deliberately altered. The supposed Rogatory Statements had passed through Levy's hands, as had the dog videos.

Just recently, HideHo carelessly announced that it didn't matter if there were FACTUAL DISCREPANCIES - or LIES, as they are more generally known - in her hatevideos, as long as only the general public saw them.

What, pray tell, is that, if not spreading deliberate LIES and propaganda?

So no, Scotland Yard will not be using the dodgy translations - unless it is to track down the people who have been deliberately smearing the McCanns to suit their own agenda.

I never did think that the Australian boat had anything to do with it


Me niether, Sabot, but it suited Team Gonc to spin it that way.

I am sure there was more than one large private boat in Barcelona harbour, and more than one woman with short hair in the area.


With the usual 20/20 vision of hindsight, it should have been a clue when Team Gonc rushed to ridicule the story.
