Former Scotland Yard detective exposes cover up within the MET.

[Brietta]

Same it seems as they took mccs at face value,

Did the Judicial Police take Madeleine's parents at 'face value' too?  They were exhaustively investigated by the PJ without any charges being laid and lo and behold the PJ too have reopened Madeleine's case.
So are they in the alleged coverup conspiracy too alongside the met or do you think they have a coverup of their own?

There are coverups the thread is about coverups in the Met - these are the people looking for Maddie.

The Police looking for Madeleine are Operation Grange.   Four officers.

Nonsense. They were only starting to investigate them when Amaral was removed. They were only arguido for a month when they ran back home.

The McCanns left Portugal with the permission of The PJ.

I know Mr Mitchell said the McCanns were thoroughly investigated by the PJ, but I have seen no evidence that they were.

Why weren’t they then?  This is the PJ we’re talking about, not Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dee!

You think that The PJ were totally incompetent?

Okay.  The PJ totally overlooked whatever The McCanns were up to for what reason?

The truth is that Goncalo Amaral thought that he had just got his out of jail card.  From which comes every cover up that ever happened in Portugal.

Clearly you have no knowledge of any evidence of this alleged 'exhaustive' investigating.

I think nothing. I asked for evidence of the alleged 'exhaustive' investigation of the McCanns.

Strange that you would be promoting the idea that the PJ were completely incompetent having so often defended them in the past.

[Eleanor]

Either The PJ did a good job, or they didn't.  Do we actually have to debate this now?

Amaral had six months and found nothing.  Him and his so called army.  It wasn't just Amaral who found nothing, as some of you are so keen to tell me.  His entire team were convinced that The McCanns were involved.  So how come that none of them ever found anything?

Be Use according to G-Unit the PJ never bothered to investigate them.  What lazy articles!

[Brietta]

There is a conspiracy theory being promoted that a "Former Scotland Yard detective exposes cover up within the MET."

Let alone that there is absolutely no suggestion made that the investigation into Madeleine's disappearance has been compromised ... to date ... apart from the original claim ... there has been nothing posted here to support the allegation that the abuse of children is being routinely covered up by the London police.

What is positive is that we do have evidence that whistleblowers have in the past led the police on a merry dance because they were ~ and sadly still sometimes are ~ believed prior to evidence of their claims being established.
Perhaps the lesson which has been learned from that experience is that before jumping in with both feet on the word of one individual ... no matter who that individual may be ... the police are checking the facts of the case before acting.

I think that following the evidence in all cases is definitely the way to proceed ... and if there is no such evidence as we have seen, it isn't an idea to ignore that and fire ahead regardless.

Are you and I on the same page here?  Either Amaral investigated this and was then prevented.  Or there never was anything in the first place to do with The McCanns.

How could any of this involve a Cover Up by England?  For why, for God's sake?  One small girl and a couple of provincial doctors.

Look to Portugal, say I.  There was something very peculiar going on there.  Whoever they were they picked on a bad one on that last occasion.

In my opinion it starts and finishes in Portugal.

Snip
Paulo Rebelo, based in Lisbon, takes immediate command of the inquiry, following the dismissal on October 2 of Goncalo Amaral, formerly the chief investigator, and the request by his deputy, Tavares de Almeida, to take a leave of absence.

Yesterday it emerged Mr Almeida is among three officers being investigated over allegations of torture in a seven-year old case. Mr Amaral is also under investigation, accused of concealing evidence relating to an alleged beating of the mother of another disappeared child.

I think that must signify a singularly different type of individual assigned to head up an investigation into a missing child than would normally be expected and as far as Madeleine's investigation goes has no British parallel ... and that is without adding Cristovao to the mix.
