Madeleine McCann: Scotland Yard requests more help from Portugal
A second "International Letter of Request" asking for assistance has been sent to the Portuguese authorities on behalf of the Metropolitan Police detectives investigating Madeleine's disappearance
By Sam Marsden1:30PM GMT 10 Jan 2014
Scotland Yard detectives investigating the disappearance of Madeleine McCann have formally asked Portugal for more help with their inquiry.
Police refused to give any details about the nature of the assistance being sought, but the move appears to suggest that fresh suspects or promising new lines have been identified.
The Crown Prosecution Service sent a second “International Letter of Request” to the Portuguese authorities on behalf of the Metropolitan Police this week.
The first letter asking for help was submitted to Portugal as Scotland Yard announced it was launching a full investigation into the case, codenamed Operation Grange, in July last year.
Over the summer British detectives sent further International Letters of Request to 30 other countries, most of them in Europe.
The requests relate to persons of interest and unidentified mobile phone numbers that were recorded in Praia da Luz in southern Portugal around the time that Madeleine, then aged three, went missing from her family’s holiday flat on May 3, 2007.
Because British police have no jurisdiction to operate overseas, they must ask their counterparts in other countries to carry out investigative work and interview suspects on their behalf.
Under European Union rules, member states are expected to comply with requests like these made under Mutual Legal Assistance Treaties.
Portugal’s attorney general announced in October that his country’s investigative Policia Judiciaria had reopened their inquiry into Madeleine’s disappearance after receiving new evidence.
A Metropolitan Police spokesman said on Friday: “We can confirm that a second International Letter of Request has been sent to the Portuguese authorities by the Crown Prosecution Services this week in connection with Operation Grange.”

Looks like Heri's on the right lines. Stand by for more carpet-chewing from the Gonzo fan club - it's a wonder they have any teeth left, they've been so enraged this week.

Re: Scotland Yard requests more help from Portugal - The Telegraph

I understood that SY were doing their investigstion and OPORTO tucked away doing theirs , judging by the nonsense we have received so far from SY, what is in the letter of request they have sent? Could it be for Portugal to request extradition from another Country the extradition back to Portugal of a possible suspect that SY have unearthed???
Don't be so bl**dy stupid. The Yard can't operate in Portugal without the assistance of the PJ. Whoever or whatever it is they are after is in PORTUGAL.
Wake up and smell the coffee!

Comment: The McCann-haters really should be careful of their blood pressure. The slightest thing seems to set off an attack of Blood Boiling, wanting to damage their screens, wanting to hit someone, going GRRRRR and generally being beside themselves with fury over naff-all.
You'd think they would be pleased that the Yard seem to be on the track of the scumbag/s that abducted Madeleine McCann, but no, the very idea sets off an attack of Boiling Blood.
They're as unwell mentally as they must be physically.
