What has Operation Grange actually achieved ?

[Eleanor]

Well said Stephen. a lot of threads do not have 'mandatory opinions' just sayin..

Anyone starting a Thread should give an Opinion.

There is little or nothing in the public domain about the second joint enquiry; plenty about the shelved enquiry we (at least on this board) are simply not allowed to discuss.

Has there ever been a "joint inquiry" ?

Scotland Yard are assisting the PJ (in a joint enquiry).

Scotland Yard are assisting the PJ (in a joint enquiry).

Are they? I thought they were separate investigation running in parallel.  Different elements of the PJ were assisting OG's  inquiries in Portugal, when required.

Portugal is the only country that can currently prosecute anyone.  But any thought that Scotland Yard are not involved in a Joint Enquiry is obviously very silly.

I happen to think it makes it easier if the topic is self-complete.

Just as an example, Mr Richard Hall refers in his latest video to a section in a previous video where he ... 

Now, I sat through all 4 hours of his latest opus.  But I refuse to go back to a previous video, that may well daisy-chained to an earlier one.

It was suggested to Stephen that the thread would be enhanced by his opinion.  He has chosen to do so.  My thanks to Stephen for making this choice.

Let the debate begin.

There is very little in the public domain about the second (joint) enquiry ....

I thnk you might be mixing AP up wth someone else...they are normally the recipient of responses with changed goalposts, such an annoying (non) debating habit
