Netflix to air new documentary about the disappearance of Madeleine McCann.

[Mr Gray]

I think Operation Grange has been an absolute farce and has tainted investigative policing.  And to be honest I don't see Netflix bringing much to the table which isn't already known to those who have followed this case in great detail.

could you explain john why it is ok to critise OG and call it a farce but we are not allowed to call the initial portuguese investigation a farce

It mostly depends whether you refer to the investigation or the officers.

You may not have noticed I made no reference to Grange actually achieving anything.

And how do you KNOW that?   

The investigation has all been kept under wraps .. so where are you getting your information from?

Are you making it up ?

The investigation has been in the media.

e.g. Questioning of people, including Murat in Portugal. hardly under wraps.

stephen please do not deviate from the line of discussion.

Barrier was talking about SY not achieving anything.  He doesn't KNOW that and I am thinking that he might be in for a big surprise

I am quite entitled to post as i wish, within forum rules, as you are.

The investigation has been in the media since it's onset. Do not pretend otherwise.

As to it's outcome, I have made my view clear all along, and i do not anticipate any other eventuality.

But you would do 😁

[Mr Gray]

It isnt just me ....it has been widely reported   ...I did give my reasons but they were removed
Seems it's ok for you to call a Portuguese judge an idiot but not ok for me to refer to the investigating officers as incompetent.

Widely reported by whom exactly ?

Do you mean Mccann supporters in the completely unbiased................. (NOT) UK Tabloid press ?  *&*%£

It certainly isn't just you Davel - as the following quote shows.

Quote from the President of the Portuguese Bar Association

Quote
ANTONIO MARINHO PINTO: (translated) I’m convinced the McCann case will feature in Portuguese judicial history as a bad example. What a criminal investigation should not be.

Only One quote  ? 

How many people supported the original investigation ?

P.S. That has been reported before. You do know that Benice, I presume.

Ah yes, the biased tabloid press.
