At last! Scotland Yard look on as PJ interview 4 suspects in Maddie case.

[Brietta]

Isn't this SY's show. I am lead to believe the PJ do not agree with them.

So we are told.

You believe the speculative gossip if you like, I shall wait for the official statements confirming exactly what is happening.

There is a lot more to come … a long game is being played here and witnesses are there to be ruled in or ruled out; what some like you fail to appreciate is the value of following the evidence and ruling people out.

I don't think the Met choose a scenario then stick to it at all costs.  I think they investigate and progress systematically from one step to the next.

Someone somewhere must feel the noose tightening ... and I hope they do feel fear ... because for seven long years the vilification which should have been theirs has been deflected.

Sadly, whoever actually took Madeleine will not receive a tenth or even a hundredth of the vilification that the McCanns have received in the last seven years, when he or she is finally caught.

They've probably been there, done that already and just going through the motions in the spirit of cooperation.

Well, given the absolute hash they made of things (collecting evidence without proper forensic kit, for example) I'm sorry to say that whether the PJ have previously 'been there' or not, it's unlikely they were thorough, hence the need to revisit the investigation from the beginning.

Four new arguidos looks like pretty big news to me, and to the majority of people with an interest in this case. The fact that a handful of Amaral's diehard fans want to dismiss it as nothing is very telling, IMO.

People like me ? 

My dear Brietta we are all guessing at the moment, yourself included so it would be great if you would stop giving your opinions any more weight than they actually deserve.

As to the long game, let's hope Madeleine is nice and comfy because SY, to my view, don't seem to be in too much of a hurry to find her.

You have never said a truer word 

[Alfred R Jones]

You have never said a truer word 

Will you stop vilifying the McCanns when the real abductor is apprehended, or will you carry on regardless...?

[stephen25000]

Will you stop vilifying the McCanns when the real abductor is apprehended, or will you carry on regardless...?

You keep on with this 'abductor'.

..and I get criticized about my perceived mantra.

So here we go.....'type of crime unknown'.

[jassi]

Will you stop vilifying the McCanns when the real abductor is apprehended, or will you carry on regardless...?

I shall be satisfied when the perpetrator has been convicted.

[Alfred R Jones]

I shall be satisfied when the perpetrator has been convicted.

That's not answering the question. 

[jassi]

That's not answering the question.

Oh, I think it does. I shall accept the verdict of the court without reservation.
Will you the same?

[Victoria]

Oh, I think it does. I shall accept the verdict of the court without reservation.

But in the meantime you'll defame and abuse whoever you want. Brilliant.  8-)(--)

I don't do either.

Festina lente is what the Met is doing, faithlilly.  In my opinion.

Only meticulous professional detective work will give any solution here. 

That it is being carried out at a remove of seven years is deplorable; that there are those who do not want it carried out at all and have done as much as they could to prevent it happening is immoral.

TVI news journalist Marisa Rodrigues [in Faro] -

Good afternoon, the information that we have is that the questionings are still taking place. Today we observed the arrival of the four suspects to the Judiciary Police headquarters, where they were constituted, formally, as arguidos, as well as the 11 witnesses who will make statements. By the sheer quantity of people that were called here we foresee that these questionings will take a number of days, we don't know yet how many days exactly.

At least two arguidos arrived here to the Judiciary Police headquarters in Faro during the morning - in total there are four arguidos who have in common the fact that all of them are residents in Praia da Luz, they have contacted each other by phone at the time of the disappearance, some just a few hours before and others after the event - and this is what makes them to be considered as suspects by the English investigation.

Among these four arguidos - they are all Portuguese except one who is Russian - there is a former Ocean Club worker, the driver who used to pick up tourists from the airport to the Ocean Club resort. The Russian was also a witness in the Portuguese authorities' process [2007/08], was questioned, the Judiciary Police searched his house, his computers were seized for forensic examination, he was thoroughly investigated and nothing was detected.

The third arguido, TVI knows that is a person with a psychiatric disorder, suffers from schizophrenia, is a 51 years old man and was allegedly identified by a witness who said he had similarities to one of the numerous e-fits divulged by the English Police. This man arrived accompanied by a friend who told us - though he didn't want to be filmed - and guaranteed that this man, who is now a suspect, stayed all night in his own house on the 3rd of May 2007 and that he isn't involved in this case in anyway.
