No doubt hyped up by whichever tabloid you are quoting from or order to sell more papers.

Leaked to the Portuguese press and recycled in the UK press.

Disgracefully, even supposedly responsible UK newspapers still proclaim that lie ...

And many other lies, if current editions are anything to go by.

Where would they be without their anonymous 'sources and close family friends'

The truth never changes with the passage of time Carana.  The tapas-9 had a moral responsibility to cooperate with the new Portuguese investigation under Rebelo, it was not for them to question the thinking behind it.  Police don't undertake criminal inquiries just for the hell of it.

What does surprise me however is why the Portuguese climb down?  Why were the tapas-9 not compelled to attend a reconstitution of events which allegedly occurred on 3 May 2007?

Does a police reconstruction have the kind of legal status that it could compel would-be participants to participate in?

It is not the same thing as a court ordering someone to attend a hearing.

They should have been made to go instead of using lawyers. It's not for them to decide  8-)(--) You couldn't make this shit up! That NWA song springs to mind.

I always found it rather strange that Leicester police  also  appeared to be advising them not to go - strange behaviour, as you would  expect the LP to support their Portuguese colleagues, rather than work against them.

LP were a disgrace and politicians getting involved. They better stay out of SY's inquiry.

Were they in Portugal they would have been compelled to participate.

Wasn't that in connection with a Crimewatch-type TV programme, rather than a police re-enactment?

What they wanted was a  'Crimewatch'  type reconstruction  to be televised 

Until now, I have never seen anyone make the claim that Kate and Gerry McCann wanted to  'take part'  in a reconstruction themselves,   in order to assist the police  ...  and that the police turned down their offer 

Have you evidence for that claim  ?
