Do you really think that Public Interest Act letters would be answered saying there was or that LP would set out a schedule of documents and explain why they object to disclosing them, that they intend to bring the offenders to justice if this was all just one big lie?

Well I thought we were told they had been cleared of any wrongdoing. So how can there be an ongoing investigation.

It makes you woder how the McCanns, who although they had their arguido status lifted could still be charged
if new evidence was found, were able to obtain 89 Files from Leicester Police by order of the High Court.

The only files that were given to them was return of 89 pieces of information concerning sightings that had been given to their solicitors who had handed them onto the police but not kept copies. In short, the LP gave them absolutely nothing, the remaining, at that stage 11,000 pieces of information LP held remained confidential!

Where, in any official document, including the Pt final report does it say they have been cleared of any wrongdoing. It simply says they found no evidence to accuse them of a crime, that is very different! I think he does absolve them of child neglect however under Portuguese law. To me that makes sense because they deliberately neglected their kids to facilitate disposing of Madeleine.
