.........and still nothing to do with the disappearance of Madeleine McCann.
One has to wonder at the motives of someone who started the thread.
That would be John, so perhaps you should take it up with him.
Paulo Pereira Cristóvão is a convicted criminal currently standing trial with other members of his gang (eighteen in total) accused of heinous crimes.
A reminder of what the eighteen are accused of ...

Seems his 'cut' of the proceeds was a substantial one. It remains to be seen what the gang were charging for, or was it only the other seventeen who were robbing?
QuoteLast Friday, Pereira Cristóvão decided to make statements and assumed, among other crimes, to have received 10 thousand of the 80 thousand euros taken from the home of a businessman from Cascais. However, it says that it was a charge and not a robbery.

One I wouldn't mind him answering is why he went out of his way to be associated with Madeleine McCann's case in the ways enumerated by Sadie.
