General discussion about the latest news (not search related)

[faithlilly]

Only from the article.
Who benefited from making the complaints in the first place?
Who was sufficiently close to the investigation to know the identities of 3 officers?

Certainly not Bennett whose letters and petitions are generally rather more scattershot. Not Twitter ‘trolls’ who wouldn’t have access to that information. Further I don’t think the general public know nor care about the internal workings of OG.

Of course if the parents felt that the investigation was looking in the wrong direction , as they did with the PJ, it might be worth a punt. They certainly had access to the necessary information and it would also be a way of discrediting the current investigation.

I suppose time will tell.

It would appear from that article that the internal investigation took place some time ago, so why is it just being reported now?

Dear Angelo,

I have always thought that you are a kind person, so I really don't get  your continued demands for Searching when you full well know that this wasn't possible.

However, if you could tell us all how you think The McCanns could and should have done this then I at least will be better informed.

You tell us all that The McCanns should have done this, but you never tell us how.  And I for one am a bit pissed off with this.

I have explained what they should have done but you obviously missed it.  To recap, they should have set up a missing person office in Praia da Luz in order to keep the issue alive and to receive information from persons who don't want to talk to the police.  Jenny Murat opened the door by her efforts and that should have continued on a more permanent basis.

The McCanns don't want to do this though, by their actions they have alienated the local population.  From day 1 they acted in a manner which could only be described as xenophobic.

As OG was downsized in 2016, these events would have to have  taken place prior to then, for what are the chances of 3 out of the 3 remaining officers being subject to investigation?

It's fairly common to look fot something in the place you lost it.

And it's fairly common to divert attention elsewhere when someone has something to hide.

I seem to recall they put up big posters in PdL and the surrounding area which garnered huge scorn not just from the locals but from a member of this forum who thought that was quite an idiotic thing to do.  What do you think?

It was crass imo.

The downsizing ?
Even greater delay in reporting in that case.

THREE Madeleine McCann probe cops have been secretly investigated for alleged misconduct.

They were all cleared but the detail of the claims has been kept under wraps.

 The investigation into Maddie's disappearance has cost the Metropolitan Police nearly £12million


Each officer was accused of “neglect or failure in their duty” while working on the Met Police’s £12million investigation into Madeleine’s disappearance.

But two allegations were not upheld and one was later withdrawn after Scotland Yard found there was no case to answer.

It is not clear if the complaints were made by members of the public or Madeleine’s family.

Sources even hinted that internet trolls could be responsible.

One said: “Because the precise details of the allegations aren’t made public, it’s entirely possible good officers have been subjected to a complaints process even though there may be little merit in the allegations against them.”

Details of the cases were disclosed under Freedom of Information laws.

A probe by Portuguese police ended in 2008.

The Met’s Operation Grange probe was launched in 2011.

Could this relate to the recently identified arguidos from the Luz area?

Probably thought they could sneak it out while everybody is occupied with BREXIT.

Anything pertaining to Og is no longer on the Mets site as we know so its ragtime.

Makes one wonder how Bilton came by them.
