Were there too many leaks in the Madeleine McCann case?

[Alfred R Jones]

Snip from the link Alf posted>>>>

"The Policia Judiciaria regrets the baseless intervention of the spokesman above all at a moment when significant moves were being made in the investigation," the statement said.

Exclusive

It added: "At the end of last week, the Spanish television station Telecinco broadcast a news piece saying it had exclusive access to alleged declarations by the McCann couple to 'investigators' looking into the disappearance of Madeleine.

"On the basis of this news, the spokesman for the couple, Clarence Mitchell, publicly expressed the view, to diverse media outlets, his certainty that the PJ was responsible for the leaks.

So, statements that should be safely in the keep of the PJ end up in the paper - how do you suppose they got there...? &%+((£

Well there is a comment that a TV station had access to them. Do you have a copy of the paper they were printed in with the actual documents shown with PJ stamps and all that good stuff? If not I will take it all with bushels of salt thanks.

Not Amaral, surely?  Statements do seem to have had a habit of wandering off on his watch.

Yeah, and falling into Felicia Cabrita's little paws.

How does a TV station get access to statements given to the police as part of their investigation, pray tell?

I am asking the question.  Can you prove he didn't?

What makes you think he did ?

We have gone a bit passed that now, so your obfuscation is wasted i'm afraid.

[faithlilly]

Context is everything.mthis was the week of the Rogatory interviews and who else had access to the information published ?

A nice little piece of distraction ?

I see those charm classes were avwaste of money Eleanor.

Anyhow it has been established Rebelo left early. What hasn't been established is that it was over any leak. In fact the PJ absolutely denied that they had anything to do with the leak.

Well, they would, wouldn't they.

[faithlilly]

Well, they would, wouldn't they.

So point 1. You have not proved that Rebelo's early return to Portugal was anything to do with any leak.

Point 2. Have you any evidence that implicates the PJ in the leak ? There was a number of people who knew about the 'why didn't you come' comment, not least of them Fiona Payne, Jane Tanner and Rachel Oldfield, their partners and the Leicestershire police who would have seen the original statements and had just been reminded of the comment by the aforementioned ladies. Oh and of course the McCanns.

[Brietta]

Absolutely astounding that there is any criticism of individuals who were not prepared to put themselves and their families at risk given the lies printed about them in the press which were undoubtedly deeply prejudicial.

It is possible the leak which occurred was not so much directed at the Drs McCann and their friends but was instead intended to damage Paulo Rebelo ... it certainly undermined him and compromised the case he was conducting into Madeleine McCann's disappearance.

As we know there were and are people who would be perfectly happy with that and who remain distressed that there is a fresh investigation ongoing today.

Following is just a taste of the innuendo and downright lies prevalent  in 2007, 2008 which has pertained in some quarters till the present day ... such is the power of propaganda.

Sunday Evening: Matt Oldfield : ...Matt too sick to attend dinner

Monday OR Tuesday Evening:        Russell O' Brian......... Did not attend dinner becasuse child was ' sick' (Jane cannot confirm which night or she does not wish to)
Tuesday evening: Kate McCann was not seen at dinner by the quiz mistress.
       
Wednesday Evening: Rachael Oldfield : too sick to attend dinner


The babysitters...one sat each evening with the children ,just as Paulo Rebelo had suspected , the children were all together, the issue of neglect had been removed....AND now understanding why it was impossible for the tapas to return for a reconstruction , they were truly afraid !

I totally agree. At the time Rebelo was questioning the McCanns's friends and was also pushing for a reconstitution. If nothing else this would have told the doctors that although their was a new co-ordinatior on the case he was still focusing on the McCamns as his predecessor had done. What better way to undermine his credibility than to suggest that his team were leaking information to smear the good doctors. After all it had worked before.

You asked a leading question with no basis. A bit disingenuous.

Thanks for the compliment.
