Maddie: team landed yesterday at Faro airport

Meeting with PJ before the search

Six members of Scotland Yard came to the Algarve for a meeting with the Portuguese police and to define the operations to seek corp

A team from Scotland Yard landed yesterday in the late afternoon , at Faro airport for a meeting with the Judicial Police ( PJ ) , at the request of searches to find the body of Madeleine McCann , which will be coordinated by the PJ on the Beach da Luz , Lagos. The group , to which the CM was found , consists of six investigators , including two forensic experts searching for cadavers .

The investigations were ordered by the British authorities and authorized by the Public Ministry of Portimão , such as CM already reported . The excavations are , however, dependent on the discovery of a relevant track. Despite the arrival of the British team to the Algarve , is not confirmed that the searches now begin in the coming days .

Among the approaches applied by Scotland Yard in the three letters rogatory sent to the Attorney General's Office , the CM knows , inquiries are still eight witnesses who are deemed relevant to the British. The British police wanted to give daily details to journalists about what will be done in Praia da Luz but knows CM , PJ refused and even threatened to go ahead with exploration work due to the media attention that operations are taking on England. British researchers want to use dogs to detect and georadar corpses in a field next to the Ocean Club and in a field between the church and the beach .

See my bolding above. That pretty much confirms they're looking for a body, no?

So what is going on?

Also, wasn't Amaral's interview recorded last Friday, the day after Redwood's visit to Portugal?

It does not say that PJ agreed to it. Their message is very clear: Andy is violating Portugal's law by publishing this information that is part of an ACTIVE investigation.

I guess that's why Andy was snickering so much in the end.

That's your reading of it, not mine.

Redwood publicised part of the Operation Grange investigation, so no law broken.

yes, and...?

Well, it's hardly cooperation is it? There was no need in terms of making it easier to find these alleged criminals.

Judge wants to see profits from the book of Gonçalo Amaral

The McCanns will enlist the help of the IRS to prove that Gonçalo Amaral, former coordinator of the PJ investigating Maddie's disappearance in 2007, in the Algarve, had profits from the book 'Maddie - The Truth of the Lie'. The decision was made yesterday in an order of the judge of the 1st Civil Court of Lisbon, who is to judge the claim for compensation of EUR 1.2 million for defamation.

"What's new office addresses of the Tax Authority to authorize the institution to provide the tax information requested. Should be obtained with waiver of confidentiality and it is essential to clarify any profits that have arisen from the conduct in question," the judge read yesterday. Just War and Peace publisher objected.

The move means that the process will be stopped during the summer. The final trial hearing - sentencing - will only be scheduled after the court receives the information from the tax authorities.

In yesterday's session, Kate and Gerry McCann reported how the publication of the book affected the family in court. "Devastated, shocked and distressed" were the words used. Gonçalo Amaral's defense questioned why only the work 'True Lies' was the target process when there were more books published.

New attorney delays English

New magistrate appointed has to dispatch letters rogatory from Scotland Yard so that steps can resume itself.

The arrival of British inspectors to the Algarve for more efforts in research around Madeleine McCann, scheduled for the current month, is delayed. The appointment of a new Public Prosecutor (MP) in Portimão, who inherited the case, should delay the dispatch of the letter of request from Scotland Yard to ask the steps.

The new prosecutor of Portimão took office this week. Is now on familiarization phase as the processes and the priority will for cases with detained defendants, considered urgent. Thus, the fifth letter rogatory sent to the Attorney General's Office, by the British, only then it will be analyzed by the MP. The decision will then be referred to PJ and only then can be initiated steps requested by the British, who include some more interrogation.

However, a report by the Home Office (Interior Ministry) English released yesterday, criticizes the British government involvement of numerous agencies in the investigation that followed the disappearance of Maddie McCann in May 2007, the Ocean Club, in Praia da Luz. According the Home Office, the British researchers "trampled up", creating in Portugal and the Portuguese police, "a feeling that they were being colonized."

An article in the Corerio da Manha, today (4 May 2018)

Maddie is taboo subject in the Light 11 years later
Residents want to forget about a case that negatively affected the area and the local tourism
After 11 years on the disappearance of Madeleine McCann from Praia da Luz, which were completed yesterday, the theme became practically taboo in the locality of the municipality of Lagos. The residents want to forget a case that negatively affected the area and affected local tourism. "I do not want to talk about it." This is how almost all the people questioned this Thursday, by the CM, in Luz, about the effects of the case.

Some suggested that it would also be best for journalists to stop talking about the girl's disappearance on May 3, 2007, from her vacation apartment with her parents and twin brothers at the Ocean Club.

Earlier in England, it was learned that Scotland Yard's funding for the investigation, announced in April, was about 175,000 euros (£ 154,000). And the girl's parents, Kate and Gerry, believe that if a solid clue emerges, this figure could be increased.

There is also a piece on Jose Socrates:

Socrates leaves PS to "put an end to mutual embarrassment"
Former prime minister considers that he is being targeted by "a kind of condemnation without judgment" by the leaders of the PS.

José Sócrates has decided to leave the Socialist Party and asked for the party's disaffiliation, following the criticism it has been targeting in recent days, press reports said on Friday.

The former leader of the PS considers that he is being the target of a "condemnation without trial" and therefore decided to "put an end to this mutual embarrassment".
Several leaders of the PS, such as Carlos César and João Galamba, said in recent days that the party was ashamed of corruption cases involving Socrates and Pinho, who are being investigated by justice.
This Thursday it was the turn of the prime minister, António Costa, to point out that to "confirm" the suspected corruption in the energy policies by members of the Government of José Sócrates, will be "a dishonor for democracy".
The prime minister took up this position at a joint press conference with Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau after being confronted with court cases involving former PM Manuel Pinho and former Socialist government chief José Sócrates.
In a letter sent to PS and published in Friday's press release, Socrates says he is being targeted for "a sort of conviction without trial." And so he felt that "the time has come to put an end to this mutual embarrassment."

Hi Sallypelt, I wonder if Mr Jose Socrates has contacted Mr Goncalo Amaral for the criticism and embarrassment he personally brought to Mr Amaral's Family, after acting on advice received from a former UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown,to dismiss him from the Madeleine McCann case!

Hi, Willow. I can't help thinking that Socrates may be behind Dr Amaral's dismissal, and if so, why?

There is some interesting information about Socrates and Dr Amaral on here:

Willow, this is a little bit more information, where Dr Amaral, himself, believes that Jose Socrates many have been behind his dismissal:

...Concerning the facts, the results indicate that the samples analysed are a 75% match to Madeleine's DNA.

Why does all this evidence not constitute sufficient proof?

Because the results required further confirmation and we had to get on with other investigations on the basis of these details. Definitely the latest. It could be perfectly imagined, for example, that Maddie had been concealed in a freezer between May 3rdamid May 27th . All of that had to be meticulously checked. Unfortunately, it was at that moment that the wish to archive the case appeared and I was thrown out. That the case was really hindered.

By whom and why?

Good question. To be put to the Portuguese Public Minister. There were discussions between the British Prime Minister Gordon Brown and the Portuguese Prime Minister José Sócrates. What was said, what did they decided? Mystery...

Hi Sallypelt,if the connection of the abuse of power,blogspot is"True"then this just shows how corrupt the successive UK Governments have been in manipulating the"Freeport Agreement-Lisbon Treaty",the UK Government(Gordon Brown,connections) blackmailing Jose Socrates on just what he achieved, is truly dishonest behaviour,made even more contemptible to hide a death of a little three Year old Girl named Madeleine McCann in the way Security Services became involved?
If the blogspot is correct,UK Prime Minister will be constricted under any"Official Secrets enacted to Madeleine McCann's case" to deliberate via Operation Grange to any successful prosecutions,game over?

The latest from Corrieo da Manha on the Madeleine McCann case:

British detective believes that "Maddie is alive and still in Portugal" David Edgar defends the thesis that the girl lives with kidnapper in the Algarve region.

Read more in: [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

"It's a disconcerting affair, but I believe it has a solution," David Edgar, a private detective who worked on the disappearance of Madeleine McCann, last seen in May 2007, told a tourist village in Lagos, Algarve. The police, who were hired by the girl's parents, Kate and Gerry McCann, believe the child is still alive and is most likely still in Portugal. "There are people out there who know perfectly well what has happened, the best hope we can have is that someone's conscience is hit." It may be that the person responsible for Maddie's abduction makes a confession when he is about to die. that someone close to you and who knows the truth goes forward, "David told The Sun newspaper. The detective believes the girl is still in Portugal. "The chances of her having been taken abroad without being detected are highly unlikely. There is someone in Portugal who knows where she is," he says. According to David Edgar, the most solid theory is that the girl, who would now be 15 years old, is still living with the kidnapper in a region in the interior of the Algarve. Officially Sunday ended the funds available for Operation Grange. After seven years, the British authorities' investigation into the disappearance of Madeleine McCann from Luz Beach - after receiving more than 13 million euros (11.6 million pounds) - is approaching the end without producing any results. On the situation, the Home Office said last week that spending on special operations could be paid retroactively, so the investigation could continue. But, contrary to what it did in previous situations, it did not announce the approval of new funding before the available funds come to an end.

Why doesn't Dave Edgar go to the Algarve and search for Maddie using the money that's been syphoned off from the fraudulent 'Find Madeleine Fund'?

This is all getting very confusing - so is the funding continuing as Isabelle McFadden tweeted?

Or has the plug been pulled as reported by Natasha and CdM?

From my understanding of the article, it looks as if funding, in future, will be in "retrospect". Does this mean that Operation Grange can continue, but no more funding will be given, unless there are results? Your guess is as good as mine.

Answers on a postcard, please

The Home Office - 25th September 2018

We have received and are considering a request from the MPS to extend funding for Operation Grange until the end of March 2019.

Funding for Special Grant applications can be paid retrospectively for operational work already done in the same financial year. It is therefore incorrect to suggest that the MPS would have to discontinue its operational work after 30 September 2018 unless additional funds were provided in advance of this date.

The Home Office maintains an ongoing dialogue with the MPS regarding funding for Operation Grange.

Special Grant funding is usually available to police forces when they face significant or exceptional costs. The cost of Operation Grange – which, to date, is £11.6m – has been met through Special Grant funding.
