The standard of reporting in this case never gets any better.  Nobody is falling for it, there is no progress as far as the Portuguese are concerned and it is they who count.

Which source close to the Portuguese investigation said that?

Portuguese police reveal British investigation into disappearance of Madeleine McCann is still live after Scotland Yard makes fresh request for information
  • British officers wrote to Portuguese in July making an unknown request
  • Comes after it was revealed probe has cost Scotland Yard £11million   
  • Former head of Flying Squad said they 'can't keep chasing shadows'
  • Portuguese source says it proves investigation is 'very much alive'

Portuguese police have revealed the British investigation into the disappearance of Madeleine McCann is still 'very much alive' after Scotland Yard made a fresh request for information.

Prosecutors said they received the written appeal over the summer holidays and it would now be passed on to the detectives leading the investigation in Portugal.

The revelation comes days after it was reported the Met had spent £11million pursuing the case, called Operation Grange, but haven't made a single arrest - sparking criticism from the former head of the Flying Squad.
John O'Connor said earlier this week: 'You can't keep chasing shadows.
'If there are no firm leads, and by that I mean no substantial operational things like active surveillance on suspects, then I'd have thought they should be considering winding it down now.'

However, there is no indication Operation Grange will 'wind down' any time soon.

A spokeswoman for the Attorney General's office in Lisbon said the letter was received in July and will be acted on by the Policia Judiciaria, which is running the Portuguese investigation into Madeleine's disappearance in Praia da Luz, on the Algarve, on May 3, 2007.

A source on the Portuguese investigation said: 'This letter shows the investigation is still very much alive and that both British and Portuguese police are still working together to try to find out what happened to Madeleine.
'The case is not about to be shelved.'

The statement from the Attorney General's office said confirmed they had received the letter in July, and said the request will be sent to the Criminal Investigation Police (PJ) for them to look in to.

The spokeswoman would not comment on the nature of the request.

The request is the second made since DCI Nicola Wall took over Operation Grange from former boss Andy Redwood at the end of last year, but the first letter she will have been involved in preparing.

Regular meetings DCI Redwood held with his Portuguese counterparts in the Algarve city of Faro have been put on hold since DCI Wall took over.

The British authorities have now made six official requests for international co-operation to the Portuguese over the Madeleine investigation. The previous one was in January this year.
 
According to the Sun, officers have stayed at the £180-a-night Ria Park resort, while quizzing suspects at Faro Police Station, which is a 20 minute drive away.
They are also said to have used the £200-a-night Hotel Dona Filipa, which is close to some of Portugal's best golf courses.

The Scotland Yard inquiry is running separately to a Portuguese probe into Madeleine's disappearance, which was reopened in May 2014 at the request of the Policia Judiciaria - more than five years after their original probe had been shelved.

The investigation was reopened after a former employee at the Ocean Club holiday resort where Madeleine disappeared was identified as a suspect.
Recovering heroin addict Euclides Monteiro, a convicted burglar, died in a tractor accident in 2009.
His widow Luisa Rodrigues was interviewed by Portuguese detectives but insisted he was an innocent man and has been fighting to get authorities to confirm they have now ruled him out as a suspect.

Scotland Yard launched their investigation in 2011 after Madeleine's parents Gerry and Kate McCann, both doctors from Rothley, Leics, made a personal plea to prime minister David Cameron.

A source close to the McCanns was quoted as saying: 'Kate and Gerry are eternally grateful to the Metropolitan Police for making Operation Grange possible.
'They are pleased so many officers are still looking for Madeleine.'

"All I'm going to say is that we've conducted a very serious investigation and there's no indication that Madeleine McCann's parents are connected to her disappearance. On the other hand, we have a lot of evidence pointing out that Christian killed her," Wolter told the "Friday at 9"....

I am not expecting them to.

Too late for that.

However, the case remains unsolved and shows no sign of being solved.

Perhaps nothing was found eight+ years ago because no-one bothered looking anywhere but at Madeleine McCann's parents ... a mistake which has been disgracefully perpetuated over the period since by sceptics only asking questions.

This time round the police are conducting a professional investigation which is taking everything into consideration and not just one aspect in isolation.
I sincerely hope this time round they will be successful ... remember ... "Seek and ye shall find" ... you'll find nothing if you don't look for it.

Your assertion that the PJ looked at nothing except the possible guilt of the parents is patently and provably not true, it is a distortion of the truth, as to your comment that insinuates the PJ were unprofessional and SY are, you can't state that as a fact after the events and so many years later....SY had the luxury of time, money, protection from media onslaught and constant criticism..no comparison whatsoever, as well as you having no idea how the British police may have acted, what they found or didn't find in the same exact circumstances....iow you are in no position to judge, are you?

Is it trolling if what you say isn't true?

In the inquiry it is clear that the PJ never dismissed any information or credible elements that might lead to the revelation of facts, with over 2000 formal and informal diligences carried out over the months, and the PJ having explored, nationally and internationally, all of the information with a higher or lower degree of credibility, with special relevance for tens of supposed sightings or trackings of the child, most of which were widely reported by the press.
