As we approach 2023, have we learned anything new?

[G-Unit]

Well there were quite a few who entered the discussion but the prime mover and shaker was your good self.  Your posts serve to indicate a certain chagrin when Amaral's Opaque Fund is mentioned.

Perhaps 2023 will be the year when all will be revealed in the wake of all the information available to the PJ 2007 actually being investigated when Scotland Yard eventually opened Madeleine's case.

It was you, as usual, who brought Amaral into an unrelated discussion.

Please nip off and find someone else to bicker with as you seem less than keen to discuss the changes which have happened and are marked in this the year 2023.

Tell me which changes you are so keen to discuss and I'll oblige. I've seen only a 5 year investigation into a german man's connection to Madeleine's disappearance which hasn't advanced at all.

Maybe some was donated from the Amaral Fund.  I seem to remember there was some sort of promise to donate to charitable causes.

Well, seeing GA has been mentioned by you on this thread.

The one thing we have learned [although not new] is GA has never waivered from his beliefs the abduction was fabricated.

Still nothing it seems.... to prove that it wasn't.

What a disingenuous post.  Are you really suggesting your inability to follow a thread while adhering to the topic?

Plus ca change (plus c'est la meme chose).  At a time of unprecedented change in the circumstances surrounding Madeleine's case, sceptics have been unable to progress beyond the investigative errors which derailed the initial investigation for many years.

Including the less than difficult function of managing to stay on topic with thread titles.

I've seen nothing concrete suggesting any new developments of note recently.

Of course you haven't.

Which is why I said your post was disingenuous.

Well then solution is in your hands. What are the unprecedented changes and what new facts have we learned?

You have learned nothing and never will.  And I can't handle late comers who jumped on the band wagon and actually know nothing anyway.

Sorry, you've got that entirely wrong with a even more particularly obtuse response than your usual.

It is not for me to play question and answer with you as an interrogator proudly displaying a mind so closed it is hermetically sealed. And which is so obviously incapable of discussing and supporting avowed prejudices.  Life is far too short.

If you are unable to notice the transition from an allegedly "unsolvable" case to one which has the possibility and the hope of finding out what happened to Madeleine McCann all those years ago ~ your problem!

That is IMO because the case has never progressed.

Apart from the suspect of the day - that fizzles out so lets look for another one.

Well if you can't point out anything new I can only assume there's probably nothing new to discuss.

The McCanns and Murat were made arguidos solely on suspicion - not justifiable evidence.  The Portuguese Penal Code changed in September 2007 when evidence, not suspicion, is now required to constitute an arguido.

Since the change in the penal code there has never been an arguido suspected of criminal offences against Madeleine - not even the oft quoted three amigos questioned under caution by the Portuguese on behalf of Scotland Yard.

Portuguese authorities make German ‘formal suspect’ in Madeleine McCann probe
Christian Brueckner has been made an ‘arguido’ – which translates as ‘formal suspect’.

That is a significant progression in Madeleine's case leading into 2023.

Please yourself as you normally do.
