Suggestive of thinking they have.

I think that was the intention.

Robert Murat was questioned and even kept waiting for 7 hours allegedly

Robert Murat sped into Faro police station this morning, driven to the rear entrance in a silver car as camera crews and photographers tried to take his picture.

It is the second time the British expat has come to be questioned as a witness in three days.

On Wednesday, Mr Murat spent around seven hours inside the station with other witnesses, including his wife. But a source close to the investigation has told us that officers didn't have time to speak to him.

However the police haven't questioned any of the McCanns or tapas friends according to the Times.

This link is the Sun quoting the times

The £12million six and a half year police probe into Maddie’s feared kidnap, which is hunting “a person of significance”, has not once asked Kate and Gerry, their friends and other key witnesses, for their account on the night the youngster vanished.

The Met detectives have been relying on Portuguese transcripts of key interviews with British witnesses, and have never conducted their own, The Times has learned.

Neither Gerry and Kate McCann nor their seven friends they dined with on the night Maddie vanished have been formerly interviewed.

Thus all seems to be based on Sutton s views.. and seems confused by the sun... It days they haven't been interviews and then refers ti them not being formally interviewed... I'm sure they would have been asked for their account but not interviewed under caution... Sutton does support my view that there is, massive room for error in the original translated statenents

Yet Operation Grange were content to rely upon the original investigation. OG clearly had no such qualms.

Off topic but why has Robert Murat been questioned by Operation Grange but the McCanns have not.  There was no evidence against Robert Murat as far as I am aware.

If Murat was formally questioned whiy are there no transcripts of those interviews in the files?

[Mr Gray]

My understanding  is that Grange, was happy that the McCann's involvement  had been satisfactorily dealt with by the Portuguese... However I'm sure as Sutton said they would realise the statements, were not totally accurate and details, could be wrong..... And that's, why they would have interviewed, the McCann's, again.. Imo

I am talking about the current investigation Angelo222 not the shelved one.  My link earlier this thread gives the date at around December 2014.

Yes.  I think we need a Cite for that.

[Sunny]

Why don't you look at my post #211 as well Eleanor. 

[Mr Gray]

Look at my reply #211 on this thread Davel.

You are, quoting an article from the sun who are reporting what Sutton said... Sutton days the McCann's were not to be interviewed under caution... Not that they were not interviewed.....

[Eleanor]

The Sun quoting The Times?  But I'm not making a colossal fuss about it.  We can believe that, or not, as we choose.

[Mr Gray]

I think we both already have
