Madeleine McCanns investigation
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!

    What are you talking about Deepy? The little girl was never found so how can you say she was brutally killed? And in Sylvi Trebath’s article it says that the police were accused of falsification of documents.
    And the Police tried to get Mrs McCann to agree to her being involve with her daughters death even though they didn’t have a body and they couldn’t beat her-up now could they as the whole World is watching.

  2. Helen says:

    Deepy, you say that the Cipriano girl was killed in a very brutal way but how do they know this when a body has never been found?

    i think that the some of the police are involved in maddies disapearance! they now who as her!! they use the portuguese law to protect them selfs only.. not only are they trying to accuse the mcanns of murder now they are saying they cant hire private detectives I WONDER WHY….

  4. Dave says:

    Of course, if this was all happening in the UK then the press wouldn’t be able to spew all this speculative garbage, because under UK media law it would be illegal to do so (and it’s a bit dodgy under the present circumstances anyway).

    But take it overseas, and it’s a field day for hacks who are otherwise constrained. Sure the reporters are being secretly briefed in every direction by Portuguese officers, but I would be surprised if they weren’t paying money for info, so of course people are going to say whatever just to get a buck or two.

    Not just that, but the officers there are probably favouring Portuguese journalists and giving them all the best scoops, thus pissing off the UK journalists even more and inspiring them to blame the cops for everything.

    Seriously - don’t you folks have any idea whatsoever of what the press are like?

    Translate this blog! It is a very complete compilation of information about the case. Photos that were not discussed and subjects that never were explained in order to blame to the Madeleine’s parents.

    Do you work for the Portuguese Police Dave?

  7. Support from South Africa says:

    Please get private detectives to very secretly investigate the Portugese Police, specially Almaral. What are they hiding and for who are they covering. Can somebody not please stop them from making bigger fools of themselves and hurting the feelings of the Mccann family with all there smear and badmouthing, where is the proof? Is there no such thing as diffimation in that country? Please help the Portugese police to get help!!!!!

  8. Support from South Africa says:

    I have never in my life heard of such foolishness and of police working on an International case, making such fools of themselves and there country. All there allegations and suspicions seem totally absurd, fabricating stories, shame and maybe they need to read a few good detective stories to get some better and more origanal ideas, maybe the investigating officers are involved and are covering up, trying to blame the parents. Poor Maddie, where is she, what have they done with her, how can the police not look for her, maybe they know where she is, trying to keep the heat away from the Hot Sot, focussing on the parents, shame…..All there info, what a joke, then she is believed to be buried at the resort, then at the church, then in Spain, oh my oh my….can they please be realistic! Can the government please remove the leading investigating officers, with there already shaky past and employ other investigators. Professionals please, if they don’t have, ask other countries for help. Can anybody blame the McCann family for hiring private investigators? That seems the only manner that they will find Maddie!

  9. Dave says:

    No, I’m a journalist, Chris. Jeez…

  10. Chris says:

    I think Dave you’re missing the point! The McCann family have had their daughter taken away from them. The Portuguese Police are the ones that seem to be putting up all the obstacles! I thank the Media for keeping this in the public eye.
