Former staff at Ocean Club now being investigated over burglary claims.

SO some  guy works late because some foreign tourists can't get into their apartment and therefore obviously pings a central PDL mast slightly after precribed work finish,. This is what I call a good worker. Willing to stay late when work demands. Now he is targeted by investigators just because he worked late. Unfair. Outdated british superiority complex. Honest portuguese worker unfairly insinuated IMO.

Is it from SY own mouth this information or just another Alice in Wonderland going down the rabbit hole?

Surely if he was working in Portugal, they know who he is, and can find him easily it isnt rocket science lol.

It just seems to me any patsy will do.....

They have no clue.......

Bernardino Abreu Pereira da Silva (previously identified on p 372)

He confirms the integrity of his statement on page 372.


When asked, he says he no longer works for the MW OC for health reasons, he made the decision to resign.

When questioned about having made a telephone call on 3rd May at 21.00.11 having activated antennas in P da L, when his working day finished at 20.30, he says that on this day, as well as on others, he was delayed because he had to carry out the transport, even though it was late, of some tourists. At this time he was driving the minibus belonging to the establishment. H e also says, that on this day, as well as the transport already referred to, he was late because of the fact that some tourists did not have the key to their apartment.

With regard to the number that he dialled on that day at that time, he says it was the number 966****** corresponding to his wife?s number, which was confirmed in this file.
He has nothing else to add.
Reads, ratifies, signs.

Maddie cops hunt ex-hotel minibus driver in fresh lead

POLICE are hunting a former minibus driver at the Algarve holiday resort where Madeleine McCann went missing.

The unnamed 40-year-old used to ferry tourists between the Ocean Club complex and Faro Airport at the time the youngster vanished.

Detectives reckon he could hold the key to cracking the seven-year riddle of Maddie's disappearance.

Madeleine was three when she went missing from her bed in Praia da Luz in May 2007.

Officers from Portugal's Policia Judiciaria are believed to have spent days scouring the resort in a bid to track down the ex-Ocean Club worker.

The former minibus driver is now thought to be jobless after a short stint working in a local bar.

A hotel worker told Portuguese media: "Three individuals who identified themselves as PJ officers were here days ago.

"They were asking where a man who worked at the Ocean Club when Madeleine disappeared lived.

"At the time he used to pick up tourists who were staying at the Ocean Club from Faro Airport and at the end of their stay he would run them back to the airport."

The major breakthrough comes after Metropolitan Police officers identified three former Ocean Club workers as prime suspects in the case.

Crunch British detectives believe the trio may be behind a string of burglaries at the holiday complex in the run-up to Maddie's disappearance.

Police believe the three men would have known the layout of the Ocean Club complex and the best escape routes for anyone taking a child.

It is one of the best leads to emerge since the Met reopened the case following pleas from Maddie's family.
 
Scotland Yard officers now want to search their homes and probe their bank accounts.

They held a crunch meeting with senior Portuguese officials last week in the hope of gaining permission to operate on Portuguese soil.

It follows a painstaking coldcase UK review supported by Madeleine's parents Kate and Gerry, both 45.

A trawl of mobile phone records revealed that the three suspects were nearby and made a number of calls to each other in the hours after Maddie was reported missing.

According to reports, people living in the area have also pointed out how the former minibus driver "was always using his mobile phone".

One theory is that the burglars raided the McCanns' flat and were panicked into snatching the youngster when she woke up.

But Brit police have also turned their attention to a notorious gypsy site seven miles from Praia da Luz.

Detectives were understood to be investigating the area of Meia Praia along with another traveller site 30 miles away.

Last October it emerged another former worker had been made a prime suspect.

Waiter Euclides Monteiro, 40, was forced to quit his job after being caught stealing tips.

The immigrant from Cape Verde was killed in a tractor accident in 2009.

His family were furious and claimed that the Portuguese authorities were trying to use him as a scapegoat for Madeleine's disappearance.

The more interesting bit is this

The witness states that, in informal conversation with the inspectors of this police force (DIC Portimao), he reported a situation, which at the time seemed abnormal, but that these facts have already been investigated, and it was determined that they had no relevance to the current investigation.
 
When asked, he replies that it was from this moment onwards that he learnt of the facts under investigation by means of the media.

i.e .What did he report in a informal conversation and what is it what was investigated out of this?

Maybe he is not a suspect at all but they are looking for him ( as reported in the media) just to ask him about the things he reported..

VIXTE, the man I was talking about all these months was an OC employee driver with a record for theft. He seems to be the man PJ is investigating now. But he is not Bernardino. Bernardino was married and now would be 66 years old. More on http://espacioexterior.blogspot.com ... Although Bernardino would be closely related to this man.

The another man, who Bernardino saw as a suspect, was investigated by PJ in 2007, he lived in Rua Direita in front of the Post Office. And he was correctly discarded in 2007, IMO.

Ok, I understand this.

What I would like to know is where these cars for transporting of tourists were usually parked.
Do you have any knowledge of this?

As if they were parked across the road of the OC reception than the GNR dogs route in early hours of the investigation would make sense.

[Heriberto Janosch]

Not sure, but this seems to be an OC minibus, parked near OC reception and Madeleine creche.

The other driver was Jose Carlos Fernandes da Silva

The reception is meant to be open 24hrs, this is obviously not the case. Just been reading a review and the reviewer was upset that the reception was locked up the night before their early flight home in the morning. I was just wondering who would be responsible for handing over room keys to new occupants arriving during the night if reception was indeed locked up. Would a driver be given keys to hand over ?

Thank you, Heri but not sure where that is on this map.. And this is the sniffer dogs route

Here an idea VIXTE.

Thank you Heri.
Do you think they would drop the tourists there, where they park?
