Comment from another forum with thanks. SykesGoncalo Amaral has called for Maddie's parents to be questioned again into the youngster's disappearance.
The disgraced ex-cop kicked off the Madeleine McCann probe is still advising officers on the case, it is claimed.
Goncalo Amaral, 57, who botched the initial stages, wants former colleagues to question Maddie’s parents again.
A source said: “He is still a respected face in the Portuguese police community.
“He continues to meet with pals who are part of the Portuguese side of the investigation.
“He boasts that he knows the case inside out and that it would be foolish not to listen to his advice.
“He has told them what he knows and begs them to look into the ‘first line of inquiry’ to solve the case.”
Top cop Pedro do Carmo said earlier this month that Kate and Gerry, of Rothley, Leics, were not suspects.
The deputy director of the country’s judicial police declared: “The parents are not suspects. Full stop.”
Scotland Yard have also ruled out the McCanns as suspects in their daughter’s disappearance.
Assistant Commissioner Mark Rowley said: “That was dealt with at the time by the original investigation by the Portuguese.
“We’re happy that’s completely dealt with and there is no reason whatsoever to reopen that or start rumours that’s a line of investigation.”
Their daughter was three when she vanished from their holiday flat in Praia da Luz, the Algarve, in May 2007.

I don't believe a word of it. If Amaral is 'advising', then why is he always whining that the PJ have stabbed him in the back?
Smells to me like one of his chums trying to shove an oar in, with a story that has NO basis in truth or reality.
