Javid is 2 Home Secretaries removed from the instigator of OG, so it will be interesting to see if he views this request in the same way as previous incumbents.

McCann preparing for the end of OG ?

[Mr Gray]

Afaiaa... No case is closed if there is still something  to be investigated

[pathfinder73]

There's no way they will let the McCanns get control back.

Pardon ?

Portugal have not cleared them so there's no way they will gain access to unseen case police files.

I really doubt the, PJ have any..... As I've said before they've simply reopened the case so SY could investigate

[pathfinder73]

Portugal are the lead and SY are assisting them.

It would be a precedent of enormous consequence if SY released their OG files to anyone other than another police force.

I think that is how some would like to see it but not the reality

I don't understand you. It has been said by the Met over and over that Portugal have the lead. OG are assisting them.

I would say that's the polite way of putting it... We know SY have arranged interviews  of those they want questioned... Is ther any evidence the PJ have interviewed anyone.. I don't think there is

[Mr Gray]

So the PJ wanted to interview the 3 burglars and SY offered to assist them

What evidence is there that the PJ have done any investigating at all since the case was re-opened?  Do tney do FOI requests in Portugal?  I’m sure we’d all be very interested to know how much money they have spent in the last 5 years investigating Madeleine’s disappearance.

It's looking like Lip Service to me.  Operation Grange do the work, because they are better at it, and Portugal says, "Thanks very much."

In the end it all depends on who was responsible for the abduction of Madeleine McCann, and of what Nationality.  Quite possibly not even Portuguese.
