It indicates that OG and hence SY want more money.

It proves they want more money and indicates they have more work to do

[faithlilly]

I wonder how long it takes to extradite someone ?

It proves ....nothing...

Same as mccs ...saying maddie was abducted....has proved nothing ....zilch ....zero....

In my opinion.

That depends on the person sought.  If within EU they can accept the extradition request immediately and be returned within days or refuse extradition in which case the entire process can become protracted and even eventually fail.

You should have stuck it out.  What a fit up.  In my opinion, of course.

Indeed; which work could be a variety of things.
Including but not limited to.
New leads to follow
Box it up then consign to archive having hit the buffers.
Box it up and pass to CPS for action in UK
Box it up and pass to CPS to pass to Portuguese Ministry of Justice for action in Portugal.

Faites vos jeux.

I don't think that Scotland Yard approach the Home Office cap in hand when the tabloids remind them the period of grace allowed to financing Madeleine's case is due to expire.

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

In my opinion that says it all ... there is a rolling programme in place during which the investigators keep the HO informed of progress or lack of it.

In my opinion it would not be a very astute politician who as Home Secretary would run the risk of ending up with egg on his/her face as a result of not being kept up to speed on a high profile case for which the undertaking had been given for finance to be approved ... and taking decisions based on intelligence received.

I think if Scotland Yard have gone to the trouble of justifying the request for a further six month extension to finance Madeleine's case it is because they deem it necessary to do so.
If the Home Office agrees the extension it means they have been convinced of the validity of the case being presented to them ... so here's hoping they will do that ... and here's hoping it is another step towards solving Madeleine's case.

At least 5 years if your hunch is right...

Is this the expectation that some have?
That extradition is being arranged?

[faithlilly]

Is this the expectation that some have?
That extradition is being arranged?

So do you think the accused are Portuguese?

Yes, it's the little straw of hope some are still clinging to, bless their cottons, extradition from Rothley that is.

[Venturi Swirl]

what accused would that be?
