It's a response, but it's difficult to see how it answers my question imo. Which was;
I wonder how many investigations by British police forces involve British citizens who were victims of a crime in another country?
Wonder away, that is your privilege - but in what context is your wonderment: there is such a thing as operational confidentiality and there again there is a hated child out there who fills a section of society with resentment against her because people are actually looking for her.
What I do know with absolute certainty is that currently the Germans have a prime suspect under investigation and that there are mean spirited individuals who resent that with a vengeance while resenting British money being spent on an active police case involving a British citizen.
There have been various internet campaigns supposedly advocating "Justice for Maddie".
The Germans are attempting to do just that and strange to say it is those who have demanded "JUSTICE" the loudest who are internet mouthing off yet again with loud objections to paying for it!
You really, really could not make it up
