I feel a little optimistic that by homing in on Malinka they are getting much closer to where they need to be..

Me too. Malinka leads to Murat, leads to.....

Could the four also include michaela Murat and his mother?

Trouble is - our hopes have been dashed far too many times previously. Still, we're getting closer. 

Closer to what, Helenmeg?

As far as I can see after the useless digs we now get the useless interviews. "they have to be eliminated, you see".

And not before they create 4 nice new Arguidos... who will now remain Arguidos - "Prime Suspects" in the UK media - throughout the closing stages of the libel trial, and its verdict phase.  Right up until the case is shelved, with history rewritten.    The creation of the Arguidos is a master stroke by AR - the timing and the make-up of the 4As is just what the UK media was hoping for.  

Unless there is some kind of connection between one (or any) of these 4 back to the McCanns, then I think they are home free.   Whether or not they get to go home with a share of the £1m libel pot remains to be seen.   But with the amount of background noise that there will be from now on, the verdict (even if negative to the McCanns) will be easily drowned in a sea of Arguido stories, background histories and abduction plots.

I very much doubt you'll be dining on sushi any time soon, PeterM, unless of course you're partial to a bento box.   

What are the odds of the magic words 'immunity from prosecution' being spoken or at least one of the new arguidos being charged this week?

Joana also said one of them is a former driver at the OC.  The only 2 drivers that I can find who gave statements are :-

03_VOLUMEIIIa_Page_679 [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] 03_VOLUMEIIIa_Page_680 [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] Witness Statement Jose Carlos Fernandes da Silva Date: 2007-05-08 Occupation: Driver Place of Work: OC Comes to the process as a witness. He has worked as a driver at the OC since the 26th March of this year. His functions consist of driving the tourists from the reception to the apartments where they are staying. His working hours are from 11.00 to 16.00, except for Thursdays and Saturdays which are the days guests arrive and leave and when he starts and finishes work much earlier and later. He knows the resort well as he circulates throughout the whole resort. When asked whether he knows about the disappearance he says that he heard about it on the day of the disappearance at about 23.00 because he was on his balcony and two men passed by and asked him whether he had seen a small girl who had gone missing from a restaurant. On the following day when he arrived at work he was told all the details. When asked, he replies that he does not think he saw or spoke to the girl or her family before the disappearance. He only knew who they were from the news. Nobody made any comments to him about the guests or about children in the preceding days. He did not see anyone suspicious or any unusual vehicles. No more is said. Reads, ratifies, signs.

The witness states that, in informal conversation with the inspectors of this police force (DIC Portimao), he reported a situation, which at the time seemed abnormal, but that these facts have already been investigated, and it was determined that they had no relevance to the current investigation.

Be fascinating to know what that was all about.

How not to attack a co-member, let me try.
 @uT, it is not within the reopened case of the PJ that these individuals are questioned. It's a result of the ILORs NSY sent. You can compare it to those rogatories once held in the UK.
So they are not witnesses, suspects heard in the reopened PJ investigation.
The people being interviewed are part (involuntarely) of the UK cover up.
It's time they stop blaming the victim.
This is not a Portuguese story, its an UK one.
Let's stop distorting the reality,
it's the only way to get Justice being done.
And all collateral damages repaid, if at all possible.
IMO
and with due respect

Me too, and the last idea and I would not be amazed about Murat's interview.

Desperate measures to keep the conning couple out of the picture.

The last one with the word 'Fala' (talk) written on the pavement next to it.

I've always seen him as an 'after the fact' helper.
