Madeleine McCann’s investigation: Portuguese police corruption
Filed under: News
We have had some information sent in from Sylvi Trembath, who talks about Madeleine McCann’s investigation and Portuguese police corruption.
They did disclose any sources, so we are not sure how much of this is fact but let us know what you make of it.
Sylvi Trembath Said:
How is it that the Portuguese Police focus on the McCann family when there is more reason to suspect the own corruption?
Goncalo Amaral and four other Portuguese police officers were recently charged with offences relating to the inquiry into the disappearance of Joana Cipriano from a village seven miles from where Madeleine was abducted.
Portugal’s Ministerio Publico, the district attorney, confirmed that it had charged three police officers with torture, a fourth with omission of evidence and a fifth with falsification of documents. It did not reveal who had been charged with which offence.
Despite the charges, Mr Amaral, the co-ordinator of the Policia Judiciaria in Portimao, has not been suspended from working on the Madeleine investigation – How crazy is that!!!
Did we ever get an explanation as to why these Police Officers did what they did to the Cipriano family, apart from wanting her to confess?
And why haven’t the five Police Officers been placed under the suspect status, As their behaviour is very strange ?
Do these Police Officers have anything to do with Madeleine’s disappearance? Nothing would surprise me the way this investigation is going!

Those foreign police, eh? Can’t be trusted, those bloody dagos.
Seriously, get over yourself. The British press (I’ll include you in this) has behaved far worse than the Portuguese police, and I can’t quite tell if you’re just desperate for something to write about, or racist.
yes the british press were just as bad but only from receiving from the portuguse press and leaking infomation from the pj probably from the dodgy officer himself.as they havent a clue who the abductor is they dont want to admit it was a abduction so they are looking too blame the parents,one minute they are saying they think she’s buried next to the church,then in spain,they havent a clue next they will be saying they have took her home with them,its about time these officers were sacked and got on with finding madeleine.
This possibility has occurred to me.
A similar disappearance in the same area suggests a local pedophile or group might be responsible. Why were the police so anxious to get a confession that they tortured a mother – is it impossible that pedophiles could not exist in the police ? Is that any more impossible than we be asked to believe that an apparently “normal” mother could kill her own cherished daughter?
of course dave, acusing the Mccann with no proof, its allright. but accusing the police, its racist.
thing about Julie and Melissa case few years ago…….
How is what Sylvi Trembath Said Racist?
It has nothing to-do with race and also it was not said by Sylvi, it could by UK police, french police or Portuguese police…it does not matter.
Its an opinion which someone feels, but I have no idea why people have got to bring “racist” into it…that makes them out to have a racist side when there is none.
Unless I am missing something here.
I so agree on ALL your say!!!! I also think people in Portugal are afraid of telling what they know of the police there in case something would happend to them or their close ones.
Everything the PJ do could be well planned and they are working hard to cover up their corruption…I think the EU and governments around Europe should take a look into what is going on in this country…they remind me of Saddam Husseins regime!!!
Hi.
I just wanted to put a point out there that has evaded some forums with respect to this specific discussion.
I recently read an article which I can find on the case of the Cipriano family. To be honest, it looks very much like the little girl was killed by the family members. She was killed in a very brutal way. The court heard quite upsetting stuff in relation to the couple.
You need to be logical about this discussion. Even if you call into question the integrity of the police, it doesn’t mean they are wrong or right.
Police brutality is a terrible thing and I believe that we all need to try to be objective about that – it shouldn’t happen. And it is fair enough to dismiss a member of the force for the abuse of someone under questioning. It means the wanted to beat an admission out of someone. That’s what it means.
Neither of the Madeleine’s parents were physically abused nor would they ever have been abused in that way by the police.
Other police officers will replace these. They will be using the same evidence. No admissions have been made.
True, not racist – just xenophobic. And I didn’t say it was the parents wot dunnit. I wish that everyone could just accept that we have no idea who did it, and we don’t even know for certain what “it” is (abduction? murder? WE DON’T KNOW).
There might be something in this! I found an article written by the Times, here’s a copy

Nice find Chris:
If in fact what The Times is reporting “Madeleine McCann police tortured me, says mother behind bars”, then this story from Sylvi Trembath would carry more weight.
Although I guess that is still up for debate.
