Researchers waiting for green light British delay interrogations
The rogatory letters were redone repeatedly by the Judiciary Police, always in close liaison with the British authorities, but for more than a week that is expected green light from England for the interrogation of the McCann's friends.
The Judiciary also asked for the seizure of objects of Maddie's parents, including Kate's journal- but there is no answer.
Researchers are surprised with the attitude. Especially because the PJ and the public prosecutor have followed all legal channels to send the letters through the Attorney General's Office,.
All the interrogations to the eight friends of the couple are necessarily conducted by the local police, since they are held in British soil, despite the presence of Portuguese researchers. Those letters took months to prepare due to the complex translation of some terms and they were done carefully to avoid what after all is happening - the delay imposed by the British.
Regarding the seizure of Kate's diary, the Judiciary also waits for the British authorization, but this delay does not damage the investigation or the belief of the inspectors - in the process there are copies of what the author wrote, for example on the personality of her daughter Maddie. In this case, the original is needed only to help to back up the possible indictment of the public prosecutor - since copies cannot be used in court.
Initially, the PJ only wants to interrogate the friends of the couple. And then based on the answers they will get from all of them and any contradictions they may fall, they will advance to request the interrogation of the McCanns - though, again, they only can do that through rogatory letters and through the same process of liaison with the local police.
PJ DENIES CONNECTION TO MARI LUZ
She has five years old, only one more than Madeleine McCann , and, like the English girl,she has two brothers. In addition to these two facts, Mari Luz Cortez disappeared without trace, last Sunday,in the neighborhood of Torrejón, in Huelva. As Maddie,in Praia da Luz, May 3.
The PJ, however, denies any link between the two cases. "The Spanish authorities sent us - the description of the child and we are aware in case any clue appears in Portugal," said to the CM source of the Judiciary. "But so far, there is no connection between the two disappearances or exists the suspicion that the same person or persons might be at the origin of both situations," he assured.
Who wanted to clarify possible links were the detectives of the Spanish agency Metodo 3, hired by Kate and Gerry to investigate the disappearance of Madeleine. According to a source close to the McCanns, "they have already entered in contact with the parents of Mari Luz to investigate possible links." But not even Maddie's parents believe that whoever is behind the case of Huelva can have any relationship with the Praia da Luz.
Yesterday, at a press conference, Juan Jose Cortez, Mari Luz's father, said that the Spanish authorities "are working on a clue." But he did not reveal which,and he just said that he has "a suspicion" but "is not the same suspicion that the police has." Juan Cortez admitted that "at present there is no" concrete result.
The family has received numerous telephone calls from various points of Spain, Portugal and France. Countries "where many people are searching for Mari Luz," revealed the father of the Spanish girl. He thanked the commitment of all and asked that today, in solidarity, "at 12.00 hrs, all people across Spain come to the streets."
Mari Luz Cortez Suárez, of five years, disappeared on Sunday, at 16:30, after leaving home to go to a kiosk, 100 meters away,to buy a pack of crisps. After that she was seen in the street at the rear of the house, where she lives with her parents by two neighbours.She is around 1 meter high, when she disappeared she was wearing a pink jacket with stars, a skirt and white boots.
THE PROCESS WILL BE IN SECRECY FOR MORE NINE MORE MONTHS
The process of the disappearance of Maddie will never be public before 15th September this year, one year after the entry into force of the new Code of Criminal Procedure, discovered the CM. The decision was taken by order of the Judge Pedro Frias, on the 18th of September of 2007, considering that the maintenance of the secrecy of justice , for one year, was imposed by the rules that emerged from the changes in the law. The judge considered that the deadlines only started to run from the entry into force of the new code, a position that although is not new is far away of being peaceful. The judge's decision cannot be appealed. http://web.archive.org/web/20080122044450/http://www.correiomanha.pt/noticia.asp?id=274025&idselect=9&idCanal=9&p=200
Well, I reckon they will end up wanting to interview the McCanns again. So, we will have this process all over again. This is going to be an 18 month case, isn't it?
I will probably end up taking a few months off the board after these initial interogations. Haha!
Interesting this bit quote "The judge's decision cannot be appealed." Does this mean there will be no showdown with the PJ in April by the McC's?
Hopefully now that Eurojust is on the case Britain will stop dragging it's feet! I cannot believe there has been no response to the rogatory letters in over a week?
The process of the disappearance of Maddie will never be public before 15th September this year, one year after the entry into force of the new Code of Criminal Procedure..............................
I wonder what the McCanns will make of this.
yet again someone within the Uk is poking their noses in. I am begining to wonder if the UK cares about Madeleine at all, if they did they would be helping not hindering a police investigation.
...and plenty of other sources claim it is in fact being held up by EUROJUST... which is in fact a LEGAL REQUIREMENT for all EU member states to use in regard to serious inter-EU state crimes...which - as Portugal is holding the Presidency of the EU at the moment - the journalists in Portugal really ought to understand...
But - as usual - the British get slagged off and blamed for other people's deeds...
It would be very interesting to understand just how CM journos think that the evil corrupt filthy stinking UK are actually managing to influence THEIR OWN legal system in Portugal - it must be quite 'iffy' - morally - if the Portuguese press believe that their government are so easily corruptable as that
[quote="xxdelly"]"All the interrogations to the eight friends of the couple are necessarily conducted by the local police..."
Interesting - eight friends.
Wonder if it's an error or is this confirmation of the Tapas 10 [/quote]
Ew, I was just off to bed then, but couldn't resist. Could it not not be a mis-print and they want to question CM too!? Just a thought to ponder on.....G'night!
Since Maddie's blood was found in the family's apartment and hire car, I don't see a serious reason to advance this investigation, until the party is completely over.
For now, the party continues, but the lights are going out, the support is dwindling. These are the moments that prepare people for the truth, and most importantly, for telling the truth.

NO trial....They are going to walk scot-free. DEMOCRACY
UK Elites are all over this couple, absolutely noway are they going to entertain the requests from the PJ who in the big picture look like they are being leant on by higher echelons within the PT State.Corruption, miscarriage of justice, power, you name it is ALL inscribed over the names of Mr&Mrs MC. I still can't find significance of the rallying around them . It might become apparent in another epoch, but the reason is NO trial at any cost, the message from the UK plutocracy.
Though the 'mean me' would like the 8th to be Clarence....lol
Lynnk - I think Eurojust is simply the middle man - they will have passed the requests onto the UK by now and will be awaiting instructions from Jaqui.

Lovely. Good for Judge Frias.
Looks as if the movie won't be made in time for next year's Academy Awards ceremony.
