[Eleanor]

Do you think the confusion of the first police to arrive on the scene is unique to Portugal?

This is a specific Thread about Tavares de Almeida and a Torture Conviction.  Please stick to The Topic.

How helpful would it have been to the investigation if the TDA & associates had used brutality to obtain a (false?) confession out of, say, Malinka, Murat or A N Other in the glare of UK & world media?
Would the sceptics have been satisfied with such a result, especially if Madeleine's whereabouts remained as unknown as Joana's?

Tell me Anna or Eleanor, what does this man have to do with Madeleine's disappearance ?

He's a bad egg and therefore there must be some relevance appears to be the sum total of it mate.

Did he not work on the case, Stephen?
 I am sure that you know as much, if not more than I, about the case and those who worked on it.

[Carana]

Who ever said that he had anything to do with her disappearance?

The relevance, if any, would be indirect, as I tried to point out earlier.

Didn't he write the interim report Anna?

Sorry, Lyall, I didn't understand that.

[Anna]

Didn't he write the interim report Anna?

I believe he did DCI. Was that just before he went on leave?

[Carana]

Didn't he write the interim report Anna?

Yes. Or at least he signed it.

[Lyall]

Sorry, Lyall, I didn't understand that.

The thread was started in October 2013 but nobody has produced any evidence there's any relevance.

It's just been a queue of people saying: we don't like the bloke.

I think that's a given, but it's not a thread.

He was connected to the case along with many others from McCanns connections also. That makes them of interest in the case of Madeleine, Lyall. And as you said another bad egg.....

But the question posed by the thread title has already been answered if nobody has produced evidence of relevance in 18 months.

And answered also in the Summers and Swan book I reckon.

No relevance &%&£(+
