Re: Metodo3 '8 important new leads with Scotland Yard'
I wonder if ......
a) this is the distraction story to draw attention away from today's 'diary permission' evidence ... or
b) that there really are eight leads but contrary to initial assumptions they are all leading one way .
(As in 'all roads lead toRothley Rome').

Maddy police 'following eight major new leads'
Tom Worden in Barcelona and Justin Davenport
14 Dec 2011
Scotland Yard detectives searching for Madeleine McCann are examining up to eight "very important" new leads after meeting Spanish private investigators, it was claimed today.
Four officers yesterday visited the Barcelona HQ of Metodo 3, the agency employed to look for her by Madeleine's parents Kate and Gerry for six months after she vanished.
The British officers, from a 30-strong Met team reviewing the case, took away 30 boxes of documents compiled by the private detectives.
The agency's director, Francisco Marco, said there were "six, seven or eight very important leads" within the files which he claimed could help police to solve the case.
Madeleine, of Rothley in Leicestershire, disappeared from her parents' holiday apartment in Praia da Luz on the Algarve in Portugal in May 2007. She was days short of her fourth birthday.
It is the second visit by British officers, who were in Barcelona last month. Mr Marco said on Spanish TV today: "We have provided them with all the documents and information we have collated worldwide about Madeleine's disappearance so they can continue the investigations we carried out in Spain, Morocco and the rest of the world.
"I think there are six, seven or eight very important leads in there."
He claimed Portuguese police ignored the leads for political reasons, and that when his investigators visited Portugal, "we were never allowed to do a proper job. The English police are now continuing with an investigation which should never have been closed".
Asked if he believed Madeleine is still alive, Mr Marco said: "When we were investigating we were always trying to find a living child. Hopefully for the parents she will be found alive."
Madeleine's parents, who have younger twins, a boy and a girl, hired Metodo 3 to find Madeleine four months after she vanished, for a reported £50,000 a month.
The agency, which it was claimed had 40 staff working on the case, sent a team to Morocco to chase up leads that she might have been smuggled out of Portugal.
Today Mr Marco said he still believed that was "very possibly" what happened to her but he refused to give more details on the leads."

Re: Metodo3 '8 important new leads with Scotland Yard'
Well there we have it the PJ bashing. the Metodo detectives found six, seven or eight leads, which presumably they referred to the McCs, who presumably did ....... nothing......... because Madeleine hasnt been found. Oh and of course the PJ ignored the leads for political reasons and didnt allow Murtado to do a proper job, but Murtado did go to Morocco, which is outside Portuguese jurisdiction. chasing up leads that Madeleine had been smuggled out of Portugal and they found......... nothing, because Madeleine hasnt been found. Im surprised Francisco Marco isnt reeling from the spinning.

I'm sure old Francisco will be just fine what with his £50,000 per month. He'll say whatever his paymsters ask him to say.
I have to say the fact this has come out at exactly the same time as the Leverson statement stinks!

Just read it on the daily mail
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2074091/Private-detective-says-leads-Madeleine-McCanns-disappearance-ignored-Portuguese-police.html
Scotland Yard detectives searching for Madeleine McCann are examining up to eight 'very important' new leads after meeting private investigators in Spain, it emerged today.
On Tuesday four detectives visited the Barcelona headquarters of Metodo 3 - a Spanish agency that spent six months working for Madeleine's parents Kate and Gerry.
The British officers - from a 30-strong Metropolitan Police team carrying out a review of the case - took away around 30 boxes of documents compiled by the private investigators.
Afterwards the agency's director, Francisco Marco, said there were 'six, seven or eight very important leads' within the files that could help police locate Madeleine.
Mr Marco also criticised Portuguese police for failing to follow up those leads, and for shelving the Madeleine investigation.
He was a guest on the Spanish TV show The Ana Rosa Programme this morning, and said: 'We have provided [Scotland Yard] with all the documents and information we have collated worldwide about Madeleine's disappearance so they can continue the investigations we carried out in Spain, Morocco and the rest of the world.
'I think there are six, seven or eight very important leads in there.
Vanished without trace: Madeleine McCann disappeared from her bedroom in Praia de Luz, Portugal, in May 2007. Despite extensive efforts to find her, she remains missing
Hoping to be reunited: Kate and Gerry McCann, at the launch of a book written by Kate, are not giving up hope
'They were passed at the time to Portuguese police who ignored them because it was a very politicised issue and they didn't want to look into anything that didn't come from their own sources... because of Portuguese chauvinism in this case, because they didn't want the English [police] or private detectives to discover more than they did.
'Every time anyone from Metodo 3 went to Portugal they were continually followed and monitored to see what they were doing.
'We were never allowed to do a proper job. Scotland Yard can now continue with all the work we did outside of Portugal and inside Portugal as well.
Dead ends: Convicted paedophile Raymond Hewlett, above left, died without talking to police, while another possibly Australian suspect remains unidentified
'The English police are now continuing with an investigation which should never have been closed.'
Asked if he believed Madeleine was still alive, Mr Marco said: 'When we were investigating we were always trying to find a living child.
'I'm not going to answer your question because I don't want to offend the parents.
'Hopefully for the parents she will be found alive. I am a father, and to lose a child and not know where he or she is is the worst thing in the world.'
Crime scene: The holiday complex where the McCann family were staying when Madeleine went missing
Police files: Portuguese police photographed the room from where Madeleine was taken. But Mr Marco criticised the fact that they closed the case too early
Today Barcelona-based newspaper El Periodico de Catalunya published photographs of the Scotland Yard detectives, wearing suits, leaving the offices of Metodo 3, in the plush Eixample district of the city.
Metodo 3 were hired by the McCanns to look for their daughter in September 2007 - four months after Madeleine, days short of her fourth birthday, went missing during a family holiday in Praia da Luz, on the Algarve.
They were reportedly paid £50,000 a month to search for Madeleine and sent a team to Morocco to chase up leads that she might have been smuggled out of Portugal to north Africa.
Mr Marco was in daily contact with doctors Kate and Gerry, from Rothley, Leicestershire, and claimed he had 40 staff working on the case.
In December 2007 he was criticised after claiming in a newspaper interview that he knew who had abducted Madeleine and would have her home for Christmas.
'We have provided [Scotland Yard] with all the documents and information we have collated worldwide about Madeleine's disappearance so they can continue the investigations we carried out in Spain, Morocco and the rest of the world. I think there are six, seven or eight very important leads in there'
Metodo 3 continued to work part-time on the search for Madeleine after their six-month contract - funded by the McCanns' backer Brian Kennedy and the Find Madeleine Fund - expired.
Today Mr Marco said he still believed it was 'very possible' Madeleine had been smuggled out of Portugal to Morocco. He refused to go into further detail about the nature of the fresh leads.
Also included in the files taken by Scotland Yard are investigations the agency carried out into Raymond Hewlett, a convicted British paedophile who was in Portugal when Madeleine went missing and left for Morocco three weeks later.
Hewlett, an ex-soldier and convicted child rapist, died of throat cancer aged 64 in Germany last year having refused to talk to detectives about Madeleine's disappearance.
Prime Minister David Cameron asked the Met to examine all the evidence connected to the Madeleine case in July.
Scotland Yard detectives travelled to Spain last month to meet with officers from the National Police and Civil Guard force.
They were also reportedly interested in chasing up a suspicious incident in Barcelona three days after Madeleine went missing.
A well-dressed woman with an Australian or New Zealand accent, described as looking like Victoria Beckham, is said to have approached a British tourist in the city's port area and asked him: 'Are you here to deliver my new daughter?'
I thought the private detectives jobs would be to follow the 'strong leads' ! !

Re: Metodo3 '8 important new leads with Scotland Yard'
So, let's see: Scotland Yard detectives visited Meturdo3 and took away 30 boxes of documents. The boss of M3 said there were, what?...five, six, seven...new leads in there. Why didn't M3 follow those up? Because they went to Portugal and weren't able to for political reasons? Because they weren't being paid enough to be going on jaunts around Europe? To make it look like they had actually done some investigating? They found an excuse because SY might notice a few things they'd overlooked?

Re: Metodo3 '8 important new leads with Scotland Yard'
It's really difficult for me to believe that Scotland Yard, such famous detectives are following leads of a third rate dubious detective agency. for me it's as if the French Police Criminelle would take advise of a fictionnal TV detective like Nestor Burma . Yes, with this move , we are between reality and fiction. We are used with the McCann , but is Scotland Yard gullible enough to swallow Metodo's massive fraud? It's not possible, imo, they are taken in. But that's possible may be, they are asked, to "sit" on their findings.

I see they have got Raymond Hewlett into the article again. I thought he refused to talk to the McCann PIs and not the Police.

Mr Marco also said that Madeleine was seen being passed between two cars two days after she dissapeared. Which one is it? Gypsies/strangers in cars?

Re: Metodo3 '8 important new leads with Scotland Yard'
I am getting heartily sick of this farce and would ask why Metodo 3 were replaced after six months when they said they would have Madeleine Home by
Christmas. If they had 8 leads , why not follow them up themselves, or pass on the info to Edgar? or the PJ?. I think SY are wasting Taxpayers money going through
30 Boxes of info .
Are we going to have SY visiting all these Countries where Madeleine was supposed to have been seen and after almost 5 years what trail are they meant to follow?

Re: Metodo3 '8 important new leads with Scotland Yard'
If this garbage is true which im 99% sure it isnt, then this one line makes my ears prick up....
There were "six, seven or eight very important leads" within the files which he claimed could help police to solve the case.
Very interesting imo there is noway SY can solve this case, unless they now have evidence as to where Maddys body is, imho there was no abduction so there is no person to be arrested for this, so the only other lead has to be where Maddys body is.....sadly

Re: Metodo3 '8 important new leads with Scotland Yard'
This is just more spin with Mr. Marco trying to paint his organization in a good light. Why should we believe Mr. Marco that there are 5-8 important leads that COULD help solve the case?
As loopaloop pointed out, the private detectives should have been following up these leads if they were so important.
Further, didn't Kate personally go through each of these files? Remember how many times she has told us that she was "working really hard?"
