Are you finally acknowledging how unacceptable and unfair the vicious and obsessive criticism of the Policia Judiciaria has been?  Well done you, if so.

I haven't seen any obsessive or vicious criticism of the PJ... I think you are, wrong... I have, seen vicious, and obsessive criticism of the parents

I would draw a parallel between the PJ in the inital investigation into Madeleine’s disappearance with the Surrey Police in the Milly Dowler investigation.  Convinced they had their man and not interested in any other evidence that pointed elsewhere.

And similar to criticism of the Colin Stagg fiasco... Nothing obsessive or vicious....just pointing out the mistakes the OJ made

No I don’t think they, or any other police force are above criticism, especially not those who throw in the towel and release their files, revealing just how incompetent they were imo. 

My point was aimed at those currently involved in slagging off the Met about how long they are taking without any apparent results.  If it transpires that all the Met was doing in the last five years was shuffling paper about and going to Portugal to play golf then obviously they deserve every criticism coming to them.

Perhaps the McCanns, their supporters and the UK media should have remained silent during the time the Policia Judiciaria were carrying out their investigations.

Perhaps, though I would say it was totally forgiveable in the McCanns’ case in fact kudos for their admirable restraint in the circs, I would have been a lot more vocal.

It would be useful if the Colin Sutton material was split off into its own thread.  It's the nearest we've had so far to a comparative, contemporaneous case in the UK.

I agree. Because the writer worked so closely with Sutton, who still had his notes on the case it's a very useful account of how an investigation progresses in the UK. His book on the subject is released tomorrow;

So it's OK for the McCanns to criticise the PJ before they even began their investigation but not for people to criticise OG until they finish theirs? That sounds like double standards to me.

Why... When we knew the mistakes they were making... Their incorrect belief that maddies death in the, apartment was confirmed... This was a massive error

Of course it is, they were there experiencing the incompetence first hand.

I wonder how useful people would have found this dramatization if Sutton hadn’t recently inveigled his way into the Anti McCann camp on twitter and become a bit of a champion of the sceptic cause??

When you saw how the NOTW’s threat to publish information about the investigation before the suspect’s arrest could have skewed the whole investigation you can see what the PJ were up against with half the world’s media camped on their doorstep, looking for copy.

And yet IMO the PJ were utterly complicit in leaking to the media, shame on them!

You really have lost me there ... I cannot see any similarity between Madeleine McCann's case and the content of the film ... the nearest comparison in MO I think is with the Yorkshire Ripper.
"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"....
