Portuguese police refuses to give collected material to Méto
The case is in secrecy of justice and the McCanns cannot gain access to the collected evidence
Text Carlos Tomás and Luís Maneta
The McCanns will have to wait at least till 14th of July to gain access to the process of the disappearance of their daughter Madeleine. The day before yesterday the parents of the child advanced with a proposal to the Portuguese judicial authorities asking them to give the evidence that they have to the private detectives of Método 3.
The response of the Portuguese authorities was "no". "They want to gain access to a process that is and will be, whilst there are steps in course, in secrecy of justice", said a responsible connected to the investigation. 24 Horas discovered that the PJ continues to analyse the several depositions of the persons that were in Praia da Luz in the day Maddie disappeared and that are being gathered by the Leicester police.
The steps in the ground ended some weeks ago and now it's being examined all the evidence collected in the beginning of the investigation and also other collected by the team of Paulo Rebelo.
Guilhermino Encarnação, director of the PJ and responsible by the Directory of Faro has no doubts: "We are doing the possible and the impossible to solve the case. When it is opportune the result of that work will be divulged".
Connection to Joana's case
The British press of yesterday quoted sources allegedly connected to the family of Leonor Cipriano, Joana's mother, that disappeared in 2004 in the village of Figueira, Lagos, Algarve that related the disappearance of Maddie to Joana.According to the British both were seized by the same individual. Source of Portimão's court contacted by the 24 Horas, rejects that theory completely: "Joana disappeared in a public street. Maddie was at home. It is a different modus operandi. This if we believe that they were kidnapped. To connect the cases is speculation". The 24 Horas tried yesterday to contact Leonor's family but it was impossible to speak with them.
