The Judicial Police (PJ), London Metropolitan Police and German Police (BKA), who have been secretly articulated in recent years, have reached a formal suspect in the abduction and death of Madeleine McCann, an English child who disappeared in May 2007 on Luz beach, Lagos, when she was just three years old.
Over the past 13 years, this is the first time police have taken formal suspicions about a suspect.
This is a 43-year-old German, tvi knows, a sexual predator who is currently trapped in his country. He's serving time for another case, rape a woman, but he was on Luz Beach when Maddie disappeared. This man will have lived in the Algarve between 1996 and 2007, in an apartment about four kilometres from the beach.
The suspect in question, 43 years old, with a criminal record, resided in Portugal between 1996 and 2007 and is currently serving prison time in Germany, "the judicial police statement reads.
There is evidence gathered in recent months that puts him as the alleged perpetrator of the crimes of abduction and murder of Maddie, a child who was vacationing in the Algarve with his parents and friends. As for the mobile of crime, everything points to motives of a sexual nature.
In close coordination with the German (BKA) and English (Metropolitan Police) authorities, in the sharing of information, in carrying out formal acts of investigation and expertise, in Portugal and abroad, elements were collected indictment of the possible intervention, in the disappearance of the child, of a German citizen",adds the document.
The Metropolitan Police, which is investigating the disappearance in an investigation called Operation Grange, has identified a white Volkswagen-branded caravan van that the suspect, who has not been identified, used for a living and also a Jaguar car to which he would have access.
Police also identified two mobile phone numbers, one used by the suspect and who received a call between 7:32 p.m. and 8:02 p.m. on May 3 in the Praia da Luz area, and another that initiated the call and may be a "highly significant witness".
As far as TVI has learned, the McCann couple have already been informed by the British police of the formal suspicions that fall on this German citizen.https://tvi24.iol.pt/sociedade/maddie-mccann/noticia-tvi_____________________________________________________________
The Judicial Police (PJ) reopened the investigation in 2013, after the case was filed by the Attorney General's Office in 2008, exonerating the three defendants, Madeleine's parents, Kate and Gerry McCann, and another Briton, Robert Murat.https://www.tsf.pt/portugal/sociedade/policia-britanica-identificou-suspeito-alemao-no-desaparecimento-de-madeleine-mccann-12273379.htmlJust a point regarding the current investigation and the legal status of arguidos when a case is archived.
I have noted on numerous occasions that when the subject arises or is mentioned in passing, that the Portuguese media have absolutely no difficulty with the fact that Kate and Gerry McCann and Robert Murat are innocent of any crime concerning Madeleine.
As mentioned above, that is how it is seen in Portugal. Sceptics appear to have jumped on the wrong bandwagon yet again in their denial of the facts in preference for making up their own.
The original
"ilibando" in Portuguese which translates into English as
"exonerating" (present participle)
(especially of an official body) absolve (someone) from blame for a fault or wrongdoing, especially after due consideration of the case.
synonyms:
absolve · clear · acquit · declare innocent · find innocent · pronounce not guilty · discharge · vindicate · exculpateSeems clear enough.
