Britain's most senior police officer has suggested his officers are closing in on the people who abducted Madeleine McCann.
Scotland Yard boss Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe admitted his officers have the names of suspects and that ‘some progress’ is being made in the inquiry.
But he declined to be drawn on when the suspects would be quizzed over her disappearance in Portugal seven years ago.
He told BBC’s Radio 5 Live: ‘We have sent three letters of request for international assistance to the Portuguese judiciary, because that is the way their system works.

He declined to comment further.

Why would the CPS
