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!

@ Laura
Well it looks like you have a few problems in understanding what was said above.
1) I got an email from Sylvi Trembath, with the above information…as said.
2) I posted this information and said “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”.
3) People have gave their opinions on what Sylvi Trembath said and some people even linking to news from The Times that supports what Sylvi Trembath said in the email to me.
4) My name is Daniel.
I hope you learn to understand more when someone like me was not judging, just reporting information and news (even stating as not fact, just Sylvi Trembath opinion
You can have an opinion without name calling Laura! Here is a snippet for you, Mrs Gonzalez, said she was certain the youngster was Madeleine and contacted Spanish police as soon as she got home. The report was passed to the Policia Judiciaria in Portugal but little was done. However, the Moroccan secret police were intrigued. Chief Chouhou said its officers were ordered to search for the youngster and the woman, who was described as short and stocky, and wearing a black headscarf and brown full-length Arabic dress.
And that’s what the McCann’s are up against! Here’s the article so read it for your self.

Get a petition drafted and signed in support of the McCanns to get there names cleared, and allowing them to freelly search for Maddy!
There is one although it asks you for a donation which has nothing to do with the McCann family, if you don’t wish to donate just skip to the next page.

okay great, thanks! Will do so!
I do hope this case gets solved. The McCanns have clearly been to hell and back! I honestly do not know what or who to believe anymore. I read in sundays newspapers that there may be a new suspect in the case! That of a Maid. Who apparently is an ex-employee who worked at the ocean club.
The maid was thrown out of her job, and they reckon she carried out a twisted revenge. So Madeleine was her chosen victim! There are also factual events to back-up this claim!
Whether this is true or not, we cannot speculate!
I hope that one day, she just might be found alive..
Little Girl Madeleine McCann will be coming home soon, safe and sound…
