"For a time Madeleine's parents, Kate and Gerry McCann, were seen as arguidos or suspects but that status was lifted. Now they are being kept fully informed of all developments and were given a personal briefing of the work of the PJ in Lisbon last week.
The McCann's Portuguese lawyer, Rogerio Alves, is reportedly seeking for his clients to be "assistants" in the case. This would allow their lawyer to work closely with state prosecutors".
Nice to see more evidence of the McCanns being kept in the loop.

The prosecution has ordered the reopening of the inquiry into the disappearance of the English girl.
RTP knows that Maddie McCann's parents are not considered suspects in the new line of investigation of the case. The decision is a consequence of the proposal of the Judicial Police and the presentation of new evidence that justify the investigation to continue.
In a statement, the prosecution adds that the Criminal Investigation Judge was requested to postpone access to the case, for a period that is essential to the conclusion of the investigation.
The case dates back to May 2007. The child, at the age of four, disappeared from the room where he slept with his siblings in a tourist resort in Praia da Luz, Algarve, where the English family was on vacation.
The decision, which the Attorney General's Office revealed today, comes a week after British police had presented another robot portrait of a new suspect and evidence of further investigation. Scotland Yard welcomed the reopening of the inquiry in Portugal and underlined that it will take place in parallel with the British investigation.
