From the little I know about Paul Luckman, if he knew of such information, he would have been extremely interested in it. He peddles news, not the tourist industry. So one cannot accuse him of 'protecting' the tourist industry. He makes not a bean from it.

Do you have anything to support your allegation, not from OG, but from local articles of that time?
Why does no one mention that OC guests, whether MW, Thomson, or other, were given a simple piece of guidance to keep the properties and their valuables safe at all times.
It simply does not stack up, does it?
I cannot speak for Paul Luckman or his motives ... the interview video, the link to which I have posted says it all I think and confirms much of the state of denial prevalent regarding Madeleine's case from start to the present day.
SnipMr. Paul Luckman, 'The Portugal News' Editor - Well, I don't know. I checked out with the management in that villa, and there were no reports of any additional activity in that time surrounding, either in regard with this charity collection or with robberies. They do carry on...
Eamonn Holmes - [speaks on top and interrupts P.L.] They, they, they said on the reports last night there were six robberies. [silence] The reports last night said there were six robberies.
Mr. Paul Luckman - Yeah, I heard it. We - I've been checking. Yep. Couldn't find anything to back that one up.
