Madeleine McCann 'was snatched by Algarve-based paedophile ring', claims Portuguese paper

If this was true then why are they saying she could be alive? All very strange. The timing is also interesting.

The newspaper doesn't say that. It says the British Police believe the peado ring theory and that there are PJ officers not investigating that theory but doing what was asked in the rogatory letter, which they have to do as it is International Law.

41 persons of interest....3 near to being eliminated

Police to call ALL tourists staying at Maddie resort: Scotland Yard trawls through phone records of people from 30 countries in hunt for clues
Officers 'looking for a needle in a haystack' as they examine phone data

Trying to build up picture of who was at resort at time of disappearance

Anyone at Praia da Luz resort in 2007 may get a call from officers

A £5m case review lead to a 'new theory' about to be aired on Crimewatch

Appeal on October 14 will be first time McCann's and Portuguese police have stood side by side since parents were named as suspects in case

Thousands of tourists worldwide are to get a call from police investigating the disappearance of Madeleine McCann as detectives try to trace everyone in the resort where she vanished.
Scotland Yard is trawling through phone records of holidaymakers from more than 30 countries who were staying in the Algarve resort of Praia da Luz when the three-year-old went missing in 2007.
The mammoth task comes ahead of a television appeal by Kate and Gerry McCann in light of ‘fresh, substantive material’ unearthed by the Metropolitan Police investigation into their missing daughter.

Officers investigating the disappearance of Madeleine McCann (left) have come up with a 'new theory' which will be broadcast on Crimewatch on October 14. Various appeals, including one which featured a digitally altered image of her as she might have looked aged nine (right) have been unsuccessful
Detectives revealed yesterday that they have an important ‘new theory’ which is due to be unveiled in a BBC Crimewatch appeal featuring a reconstruction of her disappearance.

The appeal on October 14, which will be first time that the McCanns have stood shoulder to shoulder with police since they were wrongly declared suspects by the Portuguese investigation, is seen as highly symbolic.
Detective Chief Inspector Andy Redwood, who is leading the Met’s review into the case, claims they have identified ‘genuinely new’ leads and ‘substantially different’ material after a two-year, £5million review.

Gerry McCann has been in Lisbon this week to pursue a libel action against a former Portuguese police chief who claims he and his wife covered up the girl's death
He believes a vast database of mobile phone traffic in Praia da Luz around the time she went missing could hold the key to the mystery.
Detectives want to use the data to build a comprehensive picture of who was in the resort for the first time.
They have sent letters of request to 31 countries asking police to help identify thousands of holidaymakers, local residents and workers visiting or living in the village from the vast phone log collated between April 28 and May 3, 2007.

Officials in mostly northern European countries, including Portugal, are being asked to check criminal records and evidence logs for the mobile phone numbers, although police admit it may be virtually impossible to trace the owners of pay as you go phones six years on.
Detectives hope the log will be the source of new witnesses as well as identifying any known sex offenders in the area at the time, even though 99 per cent of those numbers are likely to represent innocent holidaymakers and locals.

The data shows a timeline of calls made and their destination, although it does not include text messages.
The log was recovered by the Portuguese police although it has never been properly analysed due to the sheer scale of the task.
Praia da Luz has a population of more than 3,000 residents living over an area of eight square miles, but in the summer months that number swells as mainly British, German and Dutch tourists flock to the popular beach resort.

Police say they are having to do it ‘the hard way' comparing the inquiry, named Operation Grange, to ‘finding a needle in a haystack’, as more traditional methods of capturing evidence such as CCTV were not available in the coastal town.

Mr Redwood said: ‘We are doing it the hard way quite frankly. This is not just a general trawl, this is a targeted attack in relation to that database to see if it assists us in finding out what happened to Madeleine McCann at that time.
‘A lot of the focus is not necessarily to find a suspect, but also witnesses. We’re trying to understand who was there for a range of reasons.

During the appeal Kate and Gerry McCann will stand side by side with Portuguese police for the first time since they were named as suspects
‘If you were in Praia da Luz at the time, you may get a routine phone call from the police.’

Madeleine went missing from an apartment in Praia da Luz on May 3, 2007, as her parents dined with friends at a nearby tapas restaurant.
The shambolic Portuguese inquiry into her disappearance was shelved in 2008.

But in a crucial step forward, Portuguese police have now appointed six detectives to help British police investigate 41 ‘persons of interest’ scattered across Europe.

Fifteen of those suspects are British, but detectives say they are close to eliminating three individuals from their inquiries.
The new team of senior detectives operating from Faro have been given permission to interview suspects, take statements and conduct their own inquires, although the Portuguese have refused to reopen their own investigation.
Scotland Yard began a Home Office-funded review in 2011 following the intervention of David Cameron.

The Crimewatch appeal will be broadcast on October 14, but the new theory may require police to call holidaymakers staying at the resort in 2007
Operation Grange, which is now a full-scale investigation, has amassed 39,148 documents, of which 21,614 have been processed so far, relating to information from Portuguese Police, eight private investigators and other British forces, such as Leicestershire Police.
More than 4,900 fresh lines of inquiry have been created.

Assistant Commissioner Mark Rowley, of the Metropolitan Police, said officers had a ‘new theory’ about her disappearance.
On the forthcoming Crimewatch appeal he said: ‘There is new information not previously presented. Fresh, substantive material upon which to make an appeal.
‘It’s substantially different. It’s not just a bland ‘can you help us’ appeal, there is some different material and a different understanding to be presented.’
He also said equivalent Crimewatch programmes made in Holland, Germany and possibly Ireland, will be broadcast.

Clarence Mitchell, the McCanns’ spokesman, said: ‘Kate and Gerry remain very grateful to the Met for the work they are doing in liaison with the Portuguese authorities.
‘Their forthcoming appearance on Crimewatch is an important stage in that ongoing process. Naturally, they hope it will lead to information that will provide the breakthrough to finding Madeleine.’

Portuguese police are working on the theory that Madeleine McCann was snatched by a paedophile ring based in the Algarve region, it was claimed today.
The daily newspaper Correio da Manha says a team of six Portuguese detectives are making further inquiries based on the premise that the three-year-old from Leicestershire was taken by a professional gang working in the popular tourist region.
The report quoted unnamed sources saying: 'The work of the Policia Judiciaria inspectors is based on a line of investigation which points to paedophile rings operating in the Algarve.'
The theory was put forward as it emerged that thousands of tourists worldwide are to get a call from police investigating the little girl's disappearance in 2007.

good one quickfingers.

Thanks Jean.  The trouble is that if the twins were going to be upset by a book written in Portuguese.  But they will be upset by all this information that their sister was taken by an evil child molester written in English and published in national newspapers.  Maybe taken by a burglar is to help the twins.  Poor children.  I wonder what the Mccanns tell them re the people Madleine is living with.

Yes, to quote Auntie Bigmouth, "we tell them Maddie is with.... well, we don't actually know who she's with."

Police investigating theory that Madeleine McCann was taken by paedophile ring

5 Oct 2013 00:00
Portugese detectives are now working on the theory that British paedophiles active in the resorts of the Algarve were responsible


New theory: Kate and Gerry McCann
PA
Madeleine McCann was snatched by a paedophile ring, it was claimed yesterday after a fresh police probe.

A team of six Portuguese detectives are investigating the theory that the three-year-old girl was taken by a gang in the Algarve.

An unnamed source said in a Portuguese newspaper yesterday: “The work of the Policia Judiciaria inspectors is based on a line of investigation which points to paedophile rings in the Algarve.”

A number of convicted British paedophiles thought to have been in Portugal when Madeleine vanished are also believed to feature in a new list of 41 potential suspects drawn up by the Met.


PA
Paedophile networks with UK connections are believed to have been operating in Portugal for years because of lax sex offence laws. It is one of only two countries in Europe without a sex offenders’ register.

The Portuguese claim comes after Met Assistant Commissioner Mark Rowley said he too has a new theory about Maddy’s disappearance.

Scotland Yard has raised hopes of a breakthrough after an unprecedented “targeted attack” on the phone data of holidaymakers from 31 countries in the Praia da Luz area on May 3, 2007, when she went missing.





They have found three more potential suspects than before.

Kate McCann wrote of her fear that her daughter was KIDNAPPED by a PAEDPHILE in her 2011 book.

She ACCUSSED Portuguese police of covering up a series of child abuse cases before Maddy vanished.

Madeline McCann: How saga has been reported

The McCanns were first warned of an alarming number of Algarve incidents by British consul Bill Henderson.

Kate discovered five cases of British children being sexually abused in their beds while on holiday.

She wrote: “It broke my heart to read the terrible accounts of devastated parents and the experiences of their poor children. What these cases do demonstrate however, is that British tourists in holiday accommodation were being targeted.

“It is so hard not to scream from the rooftops about how these crimes appear to have been brushed under the carpet.”

An artist’s impression of a man who may have abducted Madeleine was released six months after she went missing. The image, drawn by an FBI-trained forensic artist, shows a dark-haired man walking with a child cradled in his arms.

Suspect: this image of a man carrying a child was released after Madeleine went missing
Kate and Gerry posed with a computer-generated image of what Madeleine might look like on the fifth anniversary of her disappearance last year.

The picture, created with the McCann family, shows how she would look aged nine.

The couple will appear in a TV appeal in light of “fresh, substantive material’ unearthed by the Metropolitan Police probe.

And police are expected to reveal a new theory that they say will give a “different understanding” about the case.

The Crimewatch programme, which will be screened on October 14, will feature a reconstruction of the events on the night of Madeleine’s disappearance.

Equivalent programmes in Germany and the Netherlands, where most other tourists in Praia da Luz come from, will also broadcast the material.

 

Now, I thought the mccanns have always stipulated that she has come to NO HARM.


Accusing the pj off a cover up.....


When are they going to sue HER!

So why have this "paedophile gang", having been so successful on the first attempt, not pulled the same stunt again?

Why didn't the 'gang' take all three..

PDL is such a bed of Paedophiles it is all covered up by the Portuguese goverment, children go missing each week from there, in fact the school is a holding centre for rich Arabs to select children, the 'school' is another cover up, Murat is the headmaster and the parents are all Chinese robots whose DNA are primed into super intelligence and they will take over the world.

Well why not?? Every other fecking story has been in the tabloids, why not this???
