Maddie McCann cop: We are chasing paedo clues

POLICE probing the disappearance of Madeleine McCann are examining a theory she was targeted by sex predators.

By Jerry Lawton / Published 3rd October 2017

Officers have investigated 600 suspects including people seen acting suspiciously when she vanished.

But they still have a small number of lines of inquiry which are being pursued.

At least 38 child sex abusers were living near Praia da Luz in Portugal at the time of Madeleine’s disappearance.

Seven holidaymakers reported that children had been sexually assaulted – some in their beds.

Five happened before Madeleine vanished. While police have tracked down some people seen acting suspiciously at the time, not all of them have been traced, said the Met’s Mark Rowley.

The assistant commissioner for Specialist Operations said: “We have a significant line of enquiry that is worth pursuing. Until we have gone through it, I won’t know if we will get there or not.”

He said the probe had been a “hard slog” but the four Scotland Yard detectives assigned to the case could still solve it.

It is why the Home Office has given police an extra £154,000 to continue the probe – which has already cost £12million – until at least March.

Madeleine, then aged three, vanished from her family’s holiday apartment in Portugal in May 2007 while her parents dined in a nearby tapas bar.

Hard to believe this article is actually dated October 3, 2017 - it sounds like it is from circa 2008 - still focusing on sex predators.

It does, doesn't it. Given the contents of the Gaspar statements, why don't they look a little closer to home?

Perhaps their Tapas friends are as, "off limits" as the McCanns are...

"Off limits" maight not mean so much. According to the local press Socrates ( the former PM) is to face charges of corruption. Given that he and Brown signed the Lisbon Treaty and that Brown insisted that Amaral be removed from the inquiry before he would sign, is Socrates likely to sing like a canary? If he is going down fore corruption then surely he will want to take someone with him? He must have been aware that there was a coverup to protect certain people. Come Jose, sing your heart out and let Amaral have some credit for knowing the truth from the word go.

That's exactly what is needed - for Socrates to expose that Brown was instrumental in seeing to it that the McCanns be protected.
