Title: Why did the Portuguese authorities allow them to "escape"
Post by: amaraltheofficeboy on May 28, 2013, 06:30:00 PM
Ya know - they had the perps - they had the evidence - they had them hook line and sinker - after all they could have forced them to "prove their innocence".

So why did they not stop them from getting on the Easyjet plane?

Why did they miss the opportunity to solve the crime without the hassle of Reg requests/interviews etc?

What were the hot shot authorities short of?

Why did they give permission for the culprits to flee the country and then criticise them afterwards for not coming back for a reconstruction?

Whose fault was it?

They did not 'give them permission' as such. Their address as given on the forms was in England. Therefore they were permitted to return to their home address. Of course the PJ could have tried to amend the Arguido status, but the law had changed from 'suspicion' to 'reasonable suspicion' (on the orders of the ECHR.)

because they didn't have the evidence.

See above. The PJ had no right to stop them leaving.

I think you will see what political interference is if Portugal refuse to reopen the case.

Under what law could they stop unarrested and uncharged people from leaving the country?

Ask someone who knows  or cares but the question SHOULD be why the authorities let two arguidos just go home a day or so after if the police had had a theory they were involved and had been interviewing  them a daybefore,, see? Interfereance

Wierd that police  not having any evidence would send the suspects home pdq though after interrogating them,  ergo it was nothing to do with police

the evidence (according to some) is that they failed to prove their innocence.

At anytime, if the PJ had enough evidence to charge the McCanns, whilst back here in Blighty, they could have asked the Police here to arrest them and extradite them to Portugal..

If Caplan could stop Pinchet from being extradited, what hope had the Portuguese of forcing the McCanns back to Portugal ?

You most certainly do need to have reasonable suspicion to execute an EAW.

A European Arrest Warrant is what it says, it's used for extraditing people who are to be ARRESTED, not merely questioned. Quite certainly, within the EU, you need evidence to arrest people, even in Portugal actually. Also, it has to be an offence that carries a PRISON sentence.

An EAW may be issued for any offence punishable by the law of the issuing state with a maximum sentence of 12 months or more, or, where the person has already been sentenced, provided it is a sentence of at least four months imprisonment.

exactly if the PJ were so sure that the McCann's were involved - Amaral even said so - why didn't they simply trust their instincts and charge them - I mean they had all their ducks ready didn't they  8(0(*

I have always found it strange that all through the case all we ever hear about how the McCann's did this , the McCann's did that - how they trashed the crime scene , put pressure on the PJ. dictated the press etc etc - for goodness sake the Police had the power and the authority to charge them - use all their  " evidence " - the dogs surely would have stood up in a jury I mean dogs never lie ??
