Who is Sergei Malinka?
Sergei Malinka (23 in 2007) is a Moldavian-Russian man who had been living in Praia da Luz since moving there with his parents in August 1999. He lived with his parents in Vila da Luz some 300 metres from the Ocean Club. His mother, a housewife, worked for the Blue Ocean Company which cleaned a number of apartments for the Ocean Club including one immediately above that occupied by the McCanns. Malinka was considered an expert in computer-related work and as a result was well known and enjoyed a high social profile in the area. He ran a computer store in Praia da Luz and had set up a website for an associate, Robert Murat. According to Gonçalo Amaral, telephone records revealed that Murat telephoned Malinka at around 11.30pm on the night that Madeleine disappeared.
On 16 May 2007, Malinka was interviewed by the Portuguese police in connection with the disappearance of Madeleine McCann. He later claimed that he was beaten up by police during the interrogation to try to get him to admit involvement.
When the police arrived at his apartment to question him, he had allegedly already wiped the hard drive of his personal computer which contained hundreds of files. The Report eventually released by the police stated: “This is the summary of the examination of nine mass storage devices (disks and memory sticks/cards) collected from Sergei Malinka's house. “Nothing was found of relevance for the case. In addition, 27 optical disks (CD ROMs) were analysed and found to contain pornography and, on one disk, bestiality”.
On 6 August 2007, Malinka's car along with several others were taken to an underground car park opposite the PJ's offices in Portimão by investigators. There they were the subject of an inspection by British scent dogs Eddie and Keela belonging to Martin Grime. Throughout the investigation, Malinka denied having a criminal record in any country and of any involvement in the disappearance of Madeleine McCann, no further action was taken against him.
At around 4am on the 20 March 2008, a car belonging to Malinka was set on fire outside his home. The word FALA (Portuguese for TALK) was spray painted on the pavement adjacent to the car.

Charred wreck: Malinka's torched Audi A4 with the word "FALA" written beside it.
-
is there any evidence to connect him?
-
We know that Sergey Malinka and Robert Murat spoke on the phone around 11:30 pm on May 3, 2007 - a short time after Madeleine McCann went missing.
Just to let readers know, Malinka's car was later fire-bombed in the street near his apartment and the word "TALK" spray painted on the footpath alongside it. He has since disappeared.
John, have you been able to find reliable sources for this yet? If not, it's seems somewhat libellous to me, particularly taken as whole.
Incidentally, he seems to have successfully sued members of the PT media.

When a catastrophe occurs, like an earthquake, the police has to be deployed very quickly, because there are always people who will take advantage of others' misery.
I'm afraid the "fala" is a coward and mean way to settle scores.

I'm not sure what you are referring to by your first sentence.
Re "Fala", I'm not certain that it was ever firmly established that it was indeed his car as opposed to a car of the same model and colour as his.
ETA: It was his car.
Computer expert Sergey Malinka, 22, an associate of official suspect Robert Murat, woke up to discover the smouldering Audi A4 close to his flat in Praia da Luz, the Algarve resort where Madeleine went missing last May.
Sprayed in red paint on the pavement next to it was "fala" ? Portuguese for "speak".
The Russian expat said yesterday: "Who the hell has written that? What exactly do they want me to say?
"They must be talking about Robert. There's nothing to say. I'm angry that someone would do this and I want to find out who it was."

Strange incident.
Some vigilante nutter?
Score-settling on an unrelated issue?
Either of the above, but a case of mistaken identity?
-
The Portuguese Police established the contacts after going through the mobile phone records.
From Malinka's statement of 16 May 2007.
"Regarding the day 3 May he said that he did not meet, nor spoke with Robert."
later followed on the same statement by...
"With regard to the telephone contact he received on 03 May 07, at 23:30, made by ROBERT, he affirms that he does not recall having received such a call, but if this actually happened, it will have been to arrange a meeting with the same, for professional reasons.
He affirms he is not protecting ROBERT and never to have had the intention to take any kind of responsibility for him, including the activities undertaken for him on the computer.
He does not know any thing that can contribute to [finding the] the location of the girl, or for any another kind of explanation of the events under investigation."

-
I dont remember who it was that was in telephone contact, but I seem to remember reading somewhere that Malinka had a telephone conversation with someone on a boat moored at nearby Lagos.... and I think it was in the evening, but am not sure about the time at all.
-
It was claimed that Sergey Malinka was employed as a trip organizer by the Corlett Lines Company who owned the yacht "Naomi Corlett". It was also claimed that this was the yacht which left Portimao in the early afternoon hours of 3rd May 2007 and headed towards the Marina in Lagos to be positioned near Praia da Luz. None of this was ever verified by the PJ.
Further speculation included the claim that Sergei Malinka was an organizer of expeditions to remote islands off the coast of Africa on behalf of the Corlett Lines Company, and was also involved in offering boat trips in the Mediterranean and to the North of Africa.
It is claimed on one website that mobile phone records exist which show that early in the afternoon of the day that Madeleine disappeared that Malinka's phone was used to contact a woman described as his wife supposedly aboard this same yacht. I have yet to see independent verification of this.
-
As Luz has already pointed out in another thread, the PJ were unable to connect Malinka to any wrongdoing. They searched his apartment on several occasions and even listened in on his telephone conversations which are available as part of the PJ files.

John, do you know where this originated? You've posted it as if it were established fact but as far as I'm aware, the only snippet that is true is that Corlett Lines do have a boat called the Naomi Corlett that is rented out for expeditions.
- Malinka was running a busy IT business designing websites and repairing computers.
Correction: it seems he was involved with an outfit called Island Expeditions at some point. Whether it was active or not at the time of the disappearance, he still could not have been phoning his "wife" on the Naomi Corlett.
Some conspiracy theorist called Michael Shrimpton produced a long, rambling document interspersing the activities of historical secret services with a few basic facts about Madeliene's disappearance and added a large dose of imagination. In it are mentions of various boats, including the Naomi Corlett.
- Naomi Corlett is not in the long list of boats that were checked out by the PJ.
http://www.mccannpjfiles.co.uk/PJ/BOATS.htm
When Shrimpton's report was leaked (quite probably accidentally on purpose), Special Branch in Gibralter checked if there was any truth in any of it.

Good afternoon Martin,
The Royal Gibraltar Police have conducted enquiries in relation to three vessels that Mr Shrimpton claimed that Maddie may be on. I understand that you may have records of these. They are (1) Panic 2 or Panic Too, (2) Stentor, and (3) Naomi. There is no trace that of any of these vessels having recently arrived in Gibraltar, but in the mean time we have flagged them i the event that they do.
Good luck with your enquiries.
Best regards,

As everyone was intrigued at the time, a poster who has/had a blog/forum for missing children (ETA: called FindMadeleine), contacted Martin Corlett to see if any of it was true.
As I see that Tezza has posted it in public in the comment section of a blog that was rehashing this conspiracy myth, I'll allow myself to post it here.
The reality is that at time of Madeleine's disappearance, the Naomi Corlett had been off the coast of Africa for two years.
So it seems somewhat unlikely that Malinka could have been phoning his wife (he wasn't married to his girlfriend as far as I know) on that boat in Lagos that night.
Tezza said...
That document is a fake and keeps resurfacing.
Let me assure you all that I went to extreme lengths in order to prove that this document was a fake.
I wrote direct to Martin Corlett, the owner of the company that owns the Naomi Corlett ship mentioned in the document.
I actually had to go 'undercover' and pose as somebody who was interested in working on an expedition. I was even offered a position onboard the ship. (I did not accept the position by the way ) This is the very interesting reply that Mr. Corlett sent me back in June of last year.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hallo Steve,
The "blog" that is presently on the internet originates from the fact that we live near Praia da Luz, my daughter is the press correspondence and translator for Sky News, and also is the mother of my grand-daughter Naomi Corlett.
When we first discovered this ridiculous association with this unfortunate mystery, we contacted our lawyers, who immediately had the Daily Mail remove the "blogs" from their notice board; however the lunatic that has come up with this present theory is untrackable, he is apparently well known in the journalist's world, and considered a "crackpot", I talked with our lawyers once again over this situation and they explained that to trace this "lunatic theorists" would cost considerable money, and result in nothing, they advised that eventually it would disappear.
At the time of the unfortunate mystery (as we who are conversant with the case refer to it) the R/S. Naomi Corlett had been in Africa for two years, and was at the very time of the "disapearance" the ship was at the use of the President of The Gambia and an American diving syndicate. The article would only be of interest to people with no logic or common sense, the logistics involved plus the costs involved are extremely high, a ship of this size costs in the region of £2,000 per day to operate. However, back to the real world; I can create a position for a project manager for expeditions, we have the ships, equipment and accommadtion in places that no one can access, we want to carry out studies in marine biology / archeology, and bio-diversity, we are going to re-build the forteleza that we own and organise an archeological dig in the grounds, and last but not least we are going to 'retrace' the slave run from the whole of the West African coast to Brazil, the Caribbean, the US and Europe; if you have any colleages interested in this position, feel free to inform or contact.
Best regards
Martin Frank Corlett

Thank you for posting that information Carana. The claims about Malinka were quite compelling but like many things add up to something completely different. I have edited my posts and those linked to them to refect what is now known.
Do you happen to know if Malinka has ever been found following his swift departure from PdL? If he sued a Portuguese newspaper he must be around somewhere.
Maybe Luz can fill us in and report on the case Malinka -v- Carvalho and Maia and what was the outcome?

Where does the idea that he made a "swift departure" come from?

Would you hang around a foreign town if you were accused of having an inappropriate relationship with a minor, being a pornographer and being involved in an abduction? I suppose it is quite normal to have your car firebombed in the street just yards from your apartment and the word "TALK" spray painted on the footpath beside it.
-
I tried to track down Malinka but his computer shop seems to have changed hands and I was told he moved to Spain to get away from the adverse publicity which had damaged his business.
He follows these forums closely so he might want to put his side of events in order to set the record straight. Assuming of course that he has nothing to hide??

I've heard it's quite normal to have your car bombed and a message sent if you involved with the Mafia. But then again, no concrete proof exists to substantiate that either. Just as there is no concrete proof linking the car bombing to the McCann case.

My problem was that by stringing together a series of statements (most of which weren't true) and ending by saying he'd "vanished" or made a "swift departure" insinuates that there was something sinister going on.
He was just a temporary person of interest to the police, just as anyone else could have been. If he hadn't been (and continues to be via blogs and forums) splashed all over the news and the Internet as somehow suspicious, life would have got back to normal once the police had finished their enquiries.
Perhaps he has moved away, I have no idea. People do move around.

Child abduction and child prostitution are activities which are very common within Russian mobster groups in Spain and Portugal. The police didn't raid his home and office for nothing let alone shadow him and tap his telephones. As you say, no link to the Madeleine case, all one great big coincidence. Poor Sergey!!

But does the mafia usually then spray-point "TALK" beside the cars? Seems a bit odd, doesn't it?

He was a person of interest at the time, so it was obvious that they would investigate him properly.
There are a few coincidence's in the case that allows for speculation, but like these as well, without concrete proof it remains speculation.
A lot of people had their phones tapped and they are now, according to SY, no longer under suspicion.
Child abduction and child prostitution (human trafficking) are activities which are very common in many other sinister non Russian mob circles as well.
-

It could have been someone who hated Malinka, non mafia related. Someone who didn't like the way he preferred young girls. A parent. Vigilante neighbours. And because the person/s responsible were never found or reported to be found, we will never know.
The Mafia also kill pets to send the owners a message. Are you saying that the Mafia is responsible for Amarals dog being killed?

The reason he was on the police radar at all seems to be due to this:

SERVICE INFORMATION
Subject: Informal Conversation with KELSIE HARRIS
To: Exmo. Mr Coordinator of Criminal Investigation
From: Manuel Pinho, Inspector
I must inform you that on this date, accompanied by my colleague CARLOS LUCAS, Inspector, I talked informally with:
KELSIE HARRIS, British citizen, born on xx.xx.1973, bearer of the passport no xxxxxxxxxx, from the UK, residing at Rua Dr. Francisco Gentil Martins, at xx, Praia da Luz, Lagos ( about 30 metres from the apartment distance from where MADELEINE McCANN was abducted) and contactable by phone on 91971xxxx.
She replied to the questions put to her as follows:
1. She is married to MATTHEW FAZACKERLEY, British citizen, who lives in England. She does not know when he may return to Portugal. They both have a child younger than 18 months, who she looks after. Has an all-terrain vehicle, a Land Rover, registration xxxxxxx;
2. Today she learned through the media, that a citizen of Eastern Europe named Serge has been arrested, who lives in Praia da Luz;
3. When she saw the television report about this, she realised that she knows this individual;
4. Therefore, she decided to notify the authorities immediately about what she knows, because she thinks that this information could be important for the discovery of the truth about the disappearance of Madeleine;
5. She indicates that the SERGE is an expert in computers. In her view, there is not a problem in computing that he is not capable of resolving;
6. He was a partner of her husband for about two years, in a computer store called "INTERNET", located in xx, Avenida dos Descobrimentos, in Lagos;
7. That company was dissolved in August last, and the shop was closed;
8. That one of the reasons why this happened, in her opinion, was because SERGE is not an honest man, withdrawing money and values from the firm without her husband’s knowledge, leading to bankruptcy;
9. He always showed great interest in money;
10. She would also like to say that this was her principal motive that led her to go to the police, that SERGE always demonstrated a very big preference for younger girls, even boasting publicly about his sexual conquests;
11. Around one year ago, she remembers him telling that he was caught by the father of a 14-year-old young girl, when it was having sexual relations with her; *
12. Shortly afterwards, he boasted that he was going out with a 33-year-old woman, but that he was also hoping to "eat" the 16-year-old daughter;
13. She does not know if he sometimes showed preferences for girls younger than these;
14. She does not know what kind of sites he consulted on the Internet, namely if he consulted "sites" of paedophilia;
15. When asked, she says that SERGE is a friend of the suspect ROBERT MURAT, because he worked for the firm LOUIE & JAMIE VERNON, real estate, during the period in which SERGE was a partner of her husband in the firm " INTERNET, located on Avenida dos Descobrimentos in Lagos, where the two firms were located side by side;
16. She does not know any details about possible business or agreements [deals] between them;
17. She does not know whether her husband also knows ROBERT MURAT;
18. That, she also knows SERGE drives a vehicle of the AUDI brand, gold in colour and with a Portuguese registration. Before that, SERGE had a black VW GOLF, also of Portuguese registration, with which he had an accident. At this moment, this vehicle is parked in a small car park, located in front of the building where he resides;
19. As far as she knows (having had knowledge of this for about 6 months), SERGE dated for some time an older woman who works in a real estate agency whose name she does not know, located in the main Avenue of Praia da Luz. She does not know other any other details about this woman, such as her name.
That is all she can tell me..
THE INSPECTOR
http://www.mccannpjfiles.co.uk/PJ/KELSIE_HARRIS.htm
* Before his alleged relationship with a 14-year-old grows wings, he was only in his very early twenties when Madeleine disappeared. This woman said he'd told her about it a year or so before that, so unless he told her straight away, he could well have been a teenager himself at the time.
ETA: It should also be borne in mind that the age of consent in Portugal is lower than in the UK. Since September 07 it is 14. It may have been 15 prior to that.

This womans husband, MATTHEW FAZACKERLEY is listed along with Sergey Malinka. She makes no mention of either being involved with Corlett group!
There's a big difference in organising exepeditions, and having access to the yacht. IMO that supposed phone call, to his girlfriend is false.
(http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-1KLCfCedIvA/TzAXFtbHsCI/AAAAAAAAEVA/NWfh33j_UuE/s400/01.02.2012-Murat-island.jpg)
They lived 30 metres from the McCann's apartment, yet she didn't know if he knew Murat?
Did Malinka ever leave Praia da Luz?
He said in 2008 But if things continue, I am going to return to my Country.

When was this Island Expedition busiiness set up and until when was he involved in it? If he was involved in at the time of the disappearance I'll amend my post. If the origin of that posted image predates it, then it's irrelevant to my post - as he was busy with his IT business at the time.

Well, if FAZACKERLEY's wife is telling the truth, that Malinka robbed her husband, I'd say thats 2006, they went bankrupt.
7. That company was dissolved in August last, and the shop was closed;
I can't see them working together, after that.
-
So it is true after all that he worked for the Corlett Group, seems all his time wasn't taken up with computers after all. I wonder what else turns out to be true? Could the yacht which was seen in Luz Bay have been using the Naomi Corlett name as a cover? The plot does indeed thicken. ?{)(**

Clearly there was a fall-out over business, but she sounds like she has some grievance or other. Her allegations may be wildly exaggerated or even unfounded.
Anyway, the business in question seems to have been some computer shop.
6. He was a partner of her husband for about two years, in a computer store called "INTERNET", located in xx, Avenida dos Descobrimentos, in Lagos;

As he seems to have gone solo with his IT business, the expedition thing would presumably predate all of that. It may have been nothing more than a vague idea and a website.

He did have a connection with the Corlett Line at some point, at least on paper. However, if he'd fallen out with Fazerckly over a computer shop in 2006, they would hardly have been working together on some expedition business after that.
If he was working flat out by May 2007 to build up his IT business once he'd gone solo, I find it unlikely that he would have time to organise expeditions as well.

He sounds like a bit of a boyo by all accounts. There are also claims that he had several Russian aliases and alleged reports of prior criminal convictions so all in all a slippery character for his age.

Here we go again....
Can you substantiate any of that aside from Internet gossip?

Robert Murat, the British expatriate property consultant libelled in more than 100 articles in the British tabloid press over the disappearance in May last year of Madeleine McCann from Praia da Luz, the Portuguese resort where he lived, accepted more than £600,000 in damages from 11 national newspapers yesterday.
At a hearing in the high court lasting less than seven minutes, the media organisations (the Daily and Sunday Express and Daily Star from Express Newspapers; the Daily Mail, Evening Standard, and Metro of Associated Newspapers; the Daily and Sunday Mirror and the Scottish Daily Record of the MGN group; and News Group's Sun and News of the World - which together have a combined print circulation of 15m copies) acknowledged that the stories they had run about Murat over nine months were entirely untrue, should never have been made and were unreservedly withdrawn.
Similar acknowledgements were made about articles libelling Michaela Walczuch, an ex-business partner and friend of Murat, who was also in court, and Sergey Malinka, an IT consultant and friend of the two, who will also receive six-figure damages.

I just love this guy he spend some cash and bought brand new laptop the day police brought him for questioning ....
--- As for the computers he had at home he said that one of them is his property, without brand, and the other two belong to customers, including a customer from Burgau, but he does not know the name, and another from the firm 'Avenue properties", with offices in Lagos and Praia da Luz. In his car he also had a laptop computer which he bought today in the "People's Radio" brand "Accer", for the sum of '599.

Well observed. The nose of the RH man and the man in the lower photo are very similar. Also the mouth shape between these two is quite similar. The upper lip is a bit short, altho not disimilar .... but the rest of the face doesn't match so well. I would be open minded about the two images. Could be maybe.
IMO, the LH face doesn't match either image, except maybe the hairlines are a little alike. But then it is difficult to judge with those big glasses on.
Go on, please remind me who the two top images are of. I have forgotten

This person was observed by 3 different witnesses on 3-4 occasions standing in front of McCain apartment for some time looking toward the patio door of the apartment just days before the abduction in prolonged interval. One of the witness old person with his wife even try to say hello to him without response, he said seems he was to busy looking at the apartment .
Another girl who knows area very well because she lives there with her grandparents came forward with a statement the she saw him twice, first time on street where the old person previously pointed and again second time leaning on the fence of the apartment from the south side while she was walking her dog this was different day.

--- The first contact with ROBERT, as already said, was in last summer, to create the web page, and this occurred near the Church of the Light [the church in PdL], where there was only ROBERT and the witness, he believes at l0H00/11H00. He now alleges that RUI was not present personally, he only gave Robert's phone number to SM. The creation of the Internet page took about three weeks to a month. ROBERT paid him '3000 in total, in two equal installments. The first part of the payment was at the beginning of the work and the second when completed.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I've often wondered what sort of webpage costs 3000Euros to set up & why Murat would have paid that sort of money to someone he'd "just been introduced to".

That seems to be a myth. There is nothing in the files to say that a disc had been wiped.

That appears to be a myth propagated by Blackwatch and repeated as fact in a conspiracy site called
"The satanic elite and child abduction".
I no longer remember where Blackwatch got the last two from, but Nick Legaloff seems to have been a photographer. Whether his work was as a professional or or as an amateur, the photos I saw were worthy of a professional of the typical family / child portrait type.
IIRC, Malinka did his web site for him. In which case, he quite probably simply put his name at the bottom as the creator, which may have led to Blackwatch's mistaken assumption.

I have been reading through search results – Malinka / Murat many of which pre-date the libel trial awards; which resulted in payment of substantial amounts in damages being paid to them and to Michaela Walczuch as a result of statements made in the press which damaged their reputations and ‘almost ruined their lives’.
The thing which has struck me most is the difference of the treatment given to these three individuals and that meted out to the Drs McCann and their friends over the past seven years.
The British press printed unsubstatiated leaks (100% DNA et al) condemning Madeleine's parents; and both they and their lawyers must have been horrified when the true picture became clear with the publishing of the FSS results.
The payment of damages to the McCann party is an acknowledgement that they have no case to answer, just as was the undisclosed out of court settlement made to RM by the British Sky Broadcasting Group and the agreement that Sky News should host an apology to him on its website for 12 months. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Murat#Murat
One has to ponder the mindset that allows recognition that there was no proof to substantiate the allegations made about RM, SM and MW; but disallows the fact that similarly there was no proof to substantiate the allegations made against the McCann party; and have used this anomaly in interpretaion to hound the McCann party.

http://miscarriageofjustice.co/index.php?topic=2794.msg176788#msg176788 Whether by accident or design - if any DNA from Robert Murat had been found in the environs of the Ocean Club apartments and 5A in particular it could be easily explained by the fact he was there accompanied by the police.
Surely a monumental error.

And the link between Smithman not existing and Murat is.......... ?
-
And the link between Smithman not existing and Murat is.......... ?
The link is that attention must be diverted back to those seen in & around the OC during the time either side of the disappearance if Smithman does not exist.
There were several witnesses who reported seeing Murat in the vicinity during the hours after Madeleine disappeared, but their evidence is negated solely by his alibi - an alibi never really called into question & dissected in the same manner as the timeline of the Tapas group. Why was that?
-
Re: The photographs, The guy in glasses looks like BONO from U2! and looks nothing like the other two.
There is a similarity about the nose and ears shape.
I think we should give the story back to the McCann supporters in so far as PEOPLE are innocent until proven guilty Their favorite mantra!
This only proves that other people apart from the tapas group were on holiday and worked and lived in PDL.
So, yes witnesses will say they saw 'people' in and around the apartment and PDL duh.
The most important witnesses in this case are those who claim to have seen her alive in the apartment...
It would seem that this is the beginning and end of the investigation, no one else claimed to have seen a live Madeline in that area, on that night, in that time frame.
Two police investigations, come back to Maddie being suspected as dead- both looking for her body and those involved in her disappearance.
Back to the beginning boys and girls...
-
... Go on, please remind me who the two top images are of. I have forgotten
Left photofit is definitely by witness T.Sillence (of man seen twice nearby).
The right photofit is IMO by witness C.Tranmer (of man seen leaving garden gate of probably apartment 5B).
According to those witness statements IMO both men have fair hair.

He is cleared by much more than his mother's alibi.
This can be easily proven just by looking, for example, at ROB's testimony.
Let X be the man who ROB saw talking to GNR that night.
The GNR officers present were questioned and all said RM was definitely not there that night.
This proves that the man ROB saw that night was certainly not RM.

The GNR weren't there at 2230-2300 hrs, though, were they - around the times Wiltshire, Jenson & the nanny Charlotte Pennngton allegedly saw him.

Kate McCann DID scream 'They've taken her' claims new nanny witness Daily Mail

She confirmed reports from the McCanns' friends that Murat was at the scene.
"He was outside the lobby just before we started on our big search," she said.
"He was adamant that he wasn't there. But he was. He was there in the road, he was just looking. It was about 10.30. He was just watching.
"I didn't know his name then. But the next day he was our interpreter and I met him then. He didn't take part in the searches, but he was there."
Murat has insisted that he was at his home nearby throughout the evening of Madeleine's disappearance. Portuguese sources have claimed that he will soon be told that he is no longer a suspect.
Miss Pennington explained that she spent the rest of the evening searching for Madeleine, before finally going to bed at 4am.
The following afternoon she was one of the first people to give witness statements to the Portuguese police.
Since then, she said, she has spoken to a Portuguese detective once and to two British detectives.

Mr Malinka is working nearby to Luz (not in IT), seems to be doing well for himself, and like the other 4 Portuguese nationals made arguidos, has remained close by and in plain sight.
I have been burned once already when publishing 'personal' details on here, supposedly in private, but immediately made public elsewhere, so I am not going to make the same mistake twice.
However, his business address and phone number are both prominent in the public domain, so I could phone him or pop in for a chat tomorrow, if the whim took me.
When folks are speculating about arguidos, this is a factor you might wish to build into the equation.
Let me see, hmmm. I know 100% I can contact Mr Malinka. I believe I can speak to Paulo Ribeiro. I am not sure about Mr Murat, but I would bet that I can. I am confident I can talk to Ricardo Rodrigues. Mr José da Silva is different, unless I take to staking out the supermarket. Sr Vitor dos Santos was not an arguido, but he is also an easy contact.
In fact, the only two impenetrables are Kate and Gerry McCann.
I was looking for some base information on Mr Malinka, when Google directed me to this thread. There is a lot of rampant speculation in it, and frankly, a lot of rampant nonsense.
The simple fact is neither Mr Malinka or the other 4 Portuguese arguidos are flying under the radar. They are still living locally, quite openly, still integrated with the local community. Just getting on with a normal life.

Why on earth would you want to "have a chat" with any of them? Have their lives not been invaded enough by others, if they are innocent bystanders in any criminal act inflicted upon Madeleine?
You're not going to solve any crime by interfering with potential witnesses but you could be charged by the police.

I am not personally about to discard any of these people, but then neither are some about to discard The McCanns and their friends.

It is my understanding that when Sergey Murat was made an arguido, his mother's car was searched by the dogs. His own car from 2007 had been torched long before 2014. There is no point in me asking how that search was conducted, because I very much doubt that Sergey or his mother would have been permitted to attend.
I cannot even get confirmation that the car was indeed searched, as the family refuse to discuss the case.

The contact that I have at the moment in the Malinka family made it clear that discussion of the case was not going to happen. I respected that as indeed I had to. It is not as if I can force anyone to talk to me about it.
That contact was not Sergey. Should Sergey decline to talk about it, I would not have an option, again because I cannot enforce discussion. However, it is not for those sitting in Britain to determine what the protagonists in Portugal should do.
Robert Murat gave an interview. Paulo Ribeiro gave an interview. Vitor dos Santos gave an interview. You may not be interested in such people's opinion about what happened to them, but I am.
