OPERATION GRANGE GIVEN £85,000 FOR ANOTHER 6 MONTHS

'interesting' from the 'scum'

"Maddy is believed to have been snatched aged 3 from her parents’ holiday apartment while they had a dinner with friends on the other side of the resort."

"...the OTHER SIDE of the resort"

They WERE certainly the 'other' side of the wall, of the 'walled off' OC 'complex' weren't they?

Bit 'different' from their 'usual' guff about 'being just a few yards from apartment', 'in the back garden', 'very, very, near to' 'close by' etc.,

Now if the 'scum' could now 'provide' irrefutable, indisputable, PROOF, that Madeleine WAS 'snatched' from her apartment, by ANYONE, I'd be 'impressed'!

Watch The Wright Stuff video - it's a total non-event, another campaign ruse to act as a distraction.

When the going gets tough, they always revert to a comparison between police resources allocated to the case of Madeleine McCann and other missing children - never any answers. just the same old questions.  They should be asking why Operation Grange?  Madeleine McCann disappeared from Portuguese territory, the Portuguese authorities did and still do, have primacy over the case, not the UK.  Even if the Met Police find a wandering suspect, dead or alive, they are in no position to act as the investigative force.

They've done it again - and it's working.

I feel a very extravagant flambo[u]yant 10th anniversary in the course of preparation.  That'll keep the 'trolls' [sic.] occupied for a few months.

Ever had the feeling you're being played?

Or put another way: a bit further than Gerry McCann said. And that was in itself quite an admission from troll-finder general Brunt.

Madeleine McCann inquiry extended
13 Mar 2017

Extra funding has been granted to extend the Madeleine McCann investigation until September.

The Home Office has allocated another £85,000 to Operation Grange, which is being conducted by the Metropolitan Police Service.

The money will be used to cover operational costs and brings the investigation’s total budget to £11.1 million.

Officers are reportedly still keen to interview a suspect who gave a witness statement shortly after Madeleine disappeared in 2007.

A Home Office spokesperson said: “Following an application from the Metropolitan Police Service for Special Grant funding the Home Office has confirmed £85,000 in operational costs for Operation Grange for the period between April 1 until September 2017.

“As with all applications, the required resources are reviewed regularly and careful consideration is given before any new funding is allocated.”

Now why didn't the investigative reporters question the"Funds allocated from the Madeleine Fund" of the bogus stories created,along with the special actors for Mr Dave Edgars master piece involving GMc,JW and JT?
Surely the public have a right to know if the donations have been mis-appropriated by the"Custodians"of the "Find Madeleine Fund,when these bogus characters fleeced the money?
Or is it just Tax payers money that counts and "Not" the donated money,"Just put your money in an Envelope,address it to the Find Madeleine Fund"It will get there,Eh Clarence,still happy to have accepted over £250,000 from the "Find Madeleine fund?
Why haven't the BBC raised any concerns about the costs of the Two Crime Watch Programmes,especially the October 2013/14 one,where"Smithman/Creche Dad"was morphed into one,still having his daughter pyjamas and the clothing he wore on that night 3 May 2007,eh DCS Andy Redwood-moving the clock forward?

Jerry Lawton

I don't believe that's a victory. If people are sick of money being wasted on a case that is seemingly going no-where, it fits in with sweeping the whole thing under the carpet.

  If the UK's best police force have spent millions of hard earned tax payers money and got no-where, this will lead to people being more accepting of Operation Grange closing after having found nothing. The narrative will be that they tried everything, even with all that money and they couldn't solve it....IMO.

 It's similar to all those child abuse inquiries where they appointed people who resigned or were unsuitable to lead the inquiry...it's a farce people said, they were sick of it and didn't want to here any more about it!

(I don't actually trust ANY of the MSM, i just thought i would big up Mr Lawton on the off chance that any of them will read it, and see that this smidgeon of truth is appreciated. IMO there's going to be even more stories leaking out before 10th anniversary, as they desperately catch up with what the public ACTUALLY thinks)

Can anyone confirm if the McCanns became assistentes in the Portuguese investigation.

Date 25th September 2007


Gerald McCann and Kate Healy, identified in the case number above, having been notified as to whether they are interested in being constituted 'assistentes' in the process, both come to reply that they have every interest in being constituted 'assistentes'.

The constituted assistente in his/her position as collaborator of the Public Ministry is always subordinate to the PM, having the powers conferred upon him/her by article 69, no. 3 of the CPP, that is to say, all the rights of intervening in the process, offering proof and requiring the diligences they deem to be necessary, deducing independent charges and intervening in the decisions that affect them.

In this way, the status of assistente is not incompatible with the status of arguido, because it cannot be confirmed - with any degree of probability or even less of certainty - that the persons in question committed any crime or that either of them would have 'co-participated in the crime'.

The status of assistente, as well as that of arguido confers the rights of participation and intervention in the process (many of these even coincide), but even in this exercise, they never conflict because they are always subject to the application, pondering and decisions of the judge.

To this effect and according to article 68 .1 of the CPP 'assistentes in the penal process can be constituted as well as the persons and entities who confer them this right, in the case of the offended party being aged under 16, or due to any incapacity, the legal representative or the persons previously indicated, unless one of them has participated in the crime'.


There is no norm that prevents the constitution as assistentes of those requesting this status or that impedes them from exercising their rights as parents in representing the interests of their daughter Madeleine.

I would finally add that those making the requests, although arguidos, are innocent or at least presumed innocent, they are and do not cease to be the legal representatives of the girl Madeleine, they have a lawyer, they have paid their legal costs and in this sense, all things considered, having fulfilled all the requirements for the request, are also 'the owners of the interests that the law particularly wishes to protect'.

Last but not least, in the latest communication from the prosecutor, annexed to this note, the Public Ministry understands that 'no line or inquiry should be disregarded' which is why 'inquiries will continue under the functional direction of the Public Ministry, under the responsibility of the PJ', inquiries that cannot be prejudiced by those making the request, independently of the status conferred or imposed upon them.
We request that they should be admitted to the status of assistentes.

NO, they didn't.

Their 'cunning Mcplan' was to be 'in the tent' peeing out, rather than being outside the tent 'peeing in'! (or 'peeing' against the wind!)

They wanted to 'know' WHAT the PJ were 'investigating' ('them'?) as 'lines of inquiries'

It didn't 'work'!

Ah 'diddums'

Hi Jeanmonroe,thanks for that little snippet,would this be the"Normal Reaction" of parents whose eldest daughter had been reported as missing/Abducted to the GNR Police Force,to try to ascertain what the Police did or did not know?
Sounds a bit like a"James Bond"scenario,may John Buck or Bill Henderson would care to cast light on their involvements to the case?

Perhaps, there were one or two MORE 'BOGUS' erm, CHARITY 'COLLECTERS' in PDL, ('put money/donations in 'blue bucket' please') in May 2007, than DCI Andy led us to believe!

They also wanted to "assist" Leicester plod. Evidently they were concerned that information from the public ... that one missing piece of the jigsaw .... might be lying in a dusty file at HQ. Not withstanding their own "hotline" had never responded to hundreds of calls.

Missing: Madeleine McCann disappeared in May 2007

A private eye whose company was paid £500,000 from a public fund to find Madeleine McCann squandered the money on a series of bizarre schemes that had no chance of locating the missing child.

Kevin Halligen, who claimed to have experience in the British secret services, was arrested last week in an Oxford hotel after an FBI manhunt over an unrelated £1.3million fraud case in America.

His investigations company, Oakley International, was taken on in March last year by the Find Madeleine Fund and her parents Kate and Gerry McCann.

But The Mail on Sunday can reveal today that despite setting up a hotline for potential informants and witnesses, none of the hundreds of calls received by a call centre hired by Halligen, 48, was listened to by Oakley investigators - and Halligen also bragged to his colleagues that he had executed a series of peculiar tactics to find Madeleine........

ARTICLE CONTINUES.
..........
Can you imagine .... as a parent of a missing child you are paying someone vast amounts of money out of a fund and you don't  ring up and ask "What's the response on the hotline?"

Yet you want to know what the Leicester police have on file that  may have been overlooked.

From twitter:

"£85k has just bought the UK Government another 6 months of refusing FOI requests
on the grounds of an ongoing investigation."

Wikipedia..

Craps is a dice game in which the players make wagers on the outcome of the roll, or a series of rolls, of a pair of dice. Players may wager money against each other (playing "street craps", also known as "shooting dice" or "rolling dice") or a bank (playing "casino craps", also known as "table craps", or often just "craps"). Because it requires little equipment, "street craps" can be played in informal settings.
----------

That's a heck of a lot of craps - the edges of the dice must be a bit rounded by now, maybe that's were the rolling comes in?

At least the guesstimated figure of 85,000k has been confirmed by the Metropolitan Police and not just a media propagandist feed - even if they are not going to comment on operations.  They gave that up when the populace started asking awkward questions.
