New CMOMM letter to the next Prime Minister and to the new Head of the Met Police, Cressida Dick

The new remit should include reinterviewing all those concerned, namely Mr and Mrs McCann and all their companions who were in Praia da Luz at the time of Madeleine's disappearance.
 After all,  politicians do love to talk about 'robust' evidence and 'transparency', don't they?

Most members will remember that in September last year, on behalf of CMOMM, I welcomed our new Prime Minister with a letter setting out the case that Operation Grange was set up with the deliberate intention of avoiding the truth about what really happened to Madeleine McCann. I also sent my letter to the then Head of the Metropolitan Police, Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe.

( see here: [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] )

In my letter, composed with the help of members of my Admin team, I set out in great detail the fraudulent nature of the McCanns’ private investigation, which we said was also never intended to find Madeleine. I gave such full details so that there was no excuse for the Prime Minister and Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe not to admit that Operation Grange and the McCanns’ private investigation team were both shams, expensive charades.

Since then, at least three significant events have happened which prove the very points we made in our letter. These were, in order:

1 The decision of the Portuguese Supreme Court in January this year to reject the McCanns’ claim that Dr Goncalo Amaral’s book damaged their reputation, and to award costs of hundreds of thousands of pounds against the McCanns. The court held that he had not libeled the McCanns but had simply given a truthful account of his investigation in his book: ‘The Truth of the Lie’. He is now free again to sell his book in Portugal.

2 The verdict of the same court that the McCanns were not being truthful in repeatedly claiming that the Portuguese police investigation had ‘cleared’ them. The judges made it clear that the McCanns had not been cleared and that they could yet be charged with criminal offences such as hiding Madeleine’s body, if further credible evidence was unearthed, and

3 The remarkable disclosure by former Met Police Detective Chief Inspector Colin Sutton, who admitted on the record that in May 2010, when a Met Police Review of the Madeleine McCann case was being discussed by the government, a ‘very senior’ member of the Met Police contacted him and told him that, against all normal procedures, the Met was going to give the review a strictly limited remit, one that would automatically prevent the Met Police from investigating whether the McCanns were involved in Madeleine’s disappearance. Colin Sutton has yet to name this officer, and neither has this very senior officer been brave enough yet to identify himself. But this information has simply gone to confirm the very point that CMOMM members have consistently made from the very moment that Operation Grange was set up, and for the past six years, namely that Operation Grange was never a genuine police investigation into the truth. In addition, Colin Sutton referred to the many contradictions in the evidence of the McCanns and their ‘Tapas 7’ friends, stating emphatically: “They should be investigated”.

Many members have wanted me to write again to the Prime Minister and to the new Head of the Met Police, Cressida Dick, but I decided to wait until the election is over and we know who the next Prime Minister is.

I now invite members to suggest to me anything else of relevance that should be included in my letter before I send it next week, after we know who the new Prime Minister is.

I believe we should ask that the No Stone Unturned fund should be investigated for the fraud it has perpetrated.
