That information was released on 11th Sept Brietta therefore it cannot possibly have been justification for UK government presence at every meeting between the PJ and GM/KM from 4th May to 7th Sept inclusive.
At the time that information was merely the latest in a long line of propaganda stories leaked by the investigation and directed against Madeleine's parents.
"This is a very badly told story" Diário de Notícias by: José Manuel Oliveira and Paula Martinheira

The disappearance of Madeleine McCann, the English three-year-old child that was on holidays in Lagos, "is a very badly told story", a source from the Polícia Judiciária in Portimão has confided to DN. The statement reflects the authorities' doubts concerning the "confused" depositions that were given by the witnesses yesterday, throughout the day.

The parents, who were taken to the PJ in Portimão at around mid-morning, refused to speak to the journalists, but advanced the idea that the apartment had been broken into, to the British media. Nevertheless, the resort's administration and the GNR assert that "there were no signs of a break-in whatsoever".

Therefore within hours of Madeleine's abduction and while her case was being treated as such by the officers on the ground ... someone somewhere in the PJ was spinning against her parents and using the Portuguese press to do so.
