Not sure if this is up-to-date or a re-hash of old news...........

BRITISH police have met with Portuguese prosecutors for a crucial summit meeting over the Madeleine McCann inquiry.

Scotland Yard detectives had detailed discussions with the Portuguese over the vital next steps in the multi-million pound probe.

It is understood to be the first time officers from Operation Grange have met officials in Lisbon since 11 key witnesses were re-interviewed in December.

Similar meetings are planned for the near future as the eighth anniversary of Madeleine’s disappearance approaches.

The Metropolitan Police declined to comment on the latest summit. A spokesman said: “We are not providing a running commentary.”

Madeleine’s parents Kate and Gerry are given regular updates on progress of the investigation.

In their last public message, the couple, from Rothley, Leicestershire, said: “It’s very apparent that the determination of the Metropolitan Police remains steadfast.”

Operation Grange was set up in 2011 after the McCanns appealed directly to Prime Minister David Cameron and Home Secretary Theresa May.

So far, it was cost around £10 million.

Madeleine was three when she vanished from the family’s holiday apartment in Praia da Luz on the Algarve in May 2007.

Former GP Mrs McCann and her heart doctor husband, both 46, have never given up hope that their daughter is still alive.

Bent coppers....if they can cover up a Paedophile ring concerning fellow offices... MP's and Judges...covering up for a death off a child is NOTHING to them.

It is up-to-date Angelina, but it looks like it has been 'Clarriefied'.

The Portuguese version of the story reveals that the UK Ambassador and a representative from the UK Attorney General's Office were also involved in the meeting, which was held in the Portuguese AG's office.

Oddly, the Express neglects to mention this rather significant info ......

Thank you Angelina.

Seems to be plenty of meetings and coming and goings but nothing much seems to be achieved on the face of it.

Similar meetings are planned for the near future as the eighth anniversary of Madeleine’s disappearance approaches.

i'm with you on this one.

After all this time and  all the interviewing of various people it seems like they're still struggling to find evidence of an abduction or anyone that they can pin it on to.

To me it read like a final wrapping/tying up of loose ends ...and now we have the Daily Star calling for the investigation to finish

If that is the case, why bring a new lead detective in? I'm sure they could have persuaded Redwood to remain a few months longer.

The question could also be asked (and has been) why £10m has been spent on one child when so many others go missing or are murdered.
