The parents of Madeleine McCann could be given access to the Portuguese police's files on them within a fortnight, one of their lawyers has said.
Rogerio Alves said the police case against the McCanns could be made public on April 14, when the official secrecy period covering the hunt for the missing girl comes to an end.
The Portuguese lawyer said this period could only be extended in major inquiries, such as those involving terrorism and organised crime.
Portuguese detectives will travel to the UK on Monday to spend the week re-interviewing the seven friends on holiday with the McCanns when Madeleine went missing.
Kate and Gerry McCann, from Rothley, Leicestershire, remain formal suspects in the case but have not been charged and deny all wrongdoing.
Clarence Mitchell, the couple's spokesman, welcomed the lawyer's comments and called for the "arguido" status to be lifted.
Mr Mitchell said: "We would hope that the police will do the decent and proper thing and open up the files.
"I would go further than that, and say once they have completed the interviews with the the friends, they should go back to Portugal and assess the evidence and eliminate Kate and Gerry and allow everyone once again to concentrate on the search for Madeleine."

I.m here
I am not talking to you Rosie :-)
PMSL Tinks put in a real crafty one there.
I half expected Helen and Christabelto come rushing out from lurking.
I bet they are kicking their computers and swearing at me now LOL
Oh Archer,
Your 4 posts too late, lol,lol.
Oh dear....
C'mon Helen I think I was set up I tried.lol
Have your crown back. Soz
Tinks, where were you, sitting on the other page again? lol
Melbel
Congratulations on the granddaughter. How wonderful!!!
Full credit Rosie, you done us like a kipper, lol.
I think I understand how it works now!
'Sure' let me down.:¬((
Rosie,
I done the ready, steady bit, forgot to go, lol.
Hi Diane
It is Ok it is safe to come out now, I have calmed down.
Hiya all
Just a flying visit, but sincere thanks for messages from everyone, about my new grand daughter,also the e mails and cards.Thanks,Isis, for kind words and message in Irish.
We are made up and thanks a million.
Not on long, but read back and noticed the Times article,posted by Chinadoll.
Seems very significant, to me and a totally different ballgame, from what we have been told,by the Portugese.
It sounds like the McC's legal team, are doing the pushing, to me.
I wonder if the PJ, would have come at all,if not pressed by the legal team, for parents.
It has taken them so long, to get their questions past the Judge, that there can be little, if any evidence.
It had not occurred to me,that the pressure was coming from our end.
When the Times,speaks,it will be sourced and substantiated.
Had a quick look at the other site, but they are getting more and more extreme and spiteful,some of them.The ones with young children, on 24/7, are neglecting their children, in my opinion.
I think they will blow themselves up, with hatred.
It was out of order,the gross lies about Rosie.
One of their posters,Hope or Wizard,if my memory is right, while on DE, put forward the idea, of the child's body,being cut up[hate to say this]and taken out. in pieces,in nappy.A very sick mind.
Noticed Mark posting and hope he gets over here.
Notdoc hates the fact that Mark knows so much more about forensics,than he can google.
Looked at Arsie's site and has the offensive letter, to Grandma Healey,gone from her archives ?
Maybe her solicitor, has warned her about offensive material.
Pity, that Mrs consecutive numbers,had delivered it.Should be named and shamed. Perhaps,it may not be much longer.
Am being heaved off computer, now,as we are having early night, as mother and baby are,hopefully home tomorrow.
Night and God bless and many thanks againx x x
Tinks, I am thinking of asking to get this put into the Olympics!
Just logged on to say goodbyeas i have decided my blogging days have come to an end. It is taking up too much time and having an impact on those around me. Not a psychiatric nurse rosie but close enough. May there be answers and justice soon for this swwet little girl. Slán.
Hi Melbel
great to see you. has your daughter had the baby yet? or have I missed it?
Archer,
I think you will be demoted to the Court Jester, when Helen finds out!
Thanks for popping in Isis. All the very best wishes to you and your family. Remember you'll never walk alone :0)
Isis
I hope you will pop back from time to time to see us.
Good luck with the wedding and take care xxx
And yes please lets hope and pray for news on this child, the one true innocent.

Hi everyone,
Just in and noticed this from The Times Newspaper
This is an extract only:-
From The TimesApril 3, 2008
British police ready to question 'Tapas Seven' over Madeleine disappearanceDavid Brown
British police investigating the disappearance of Madeleine McCann are to interview more than 30 people who could help to prove that her parents were not involved in her abduction.
The interviews will begin next Tuesday with the first of the seven British friends who were on holiday with the McCanns when Madeleine was reported missing in Portugal. A different couple will be interviewed each day in the presence of Portuguese detectives at the headquarters of Leicestershire Police.
The officers will concentrate on alleged inconsistencies in the timelines of events on May 3. None of the witnesses will be made arguidos (official suspects under Portuguese law) and detectives will not seize evidence or search homes.
Madeleine's parents, Kate and Gerry McCann, both doctors from Rothley, Leicestershire, have offered to be reinterviewed but will not be questioned.

Hi Melbel,
I said as a joke the other day, I think the tail is wagging the dog. No truer word spoken in jest.
Have a good nights rest and look forward to catching up soon. You take care xx
Isis
Bye! Glad you dropped by!
Melbel
Bye. Have a good night's sleep because tomorrow . . . !!!
Melbel
Fantastic news. they are such a joy I have three grandsons and a granddaughter and another due in May.
Lots of love and kisses to you all xxx
nite archer
be good now. take care.
Night Archer! There is always first post first thing in the morning. I'll be in work early tomorrow and you are an hour behind me so either fall asleep right now or don't bother sleeping at all!
Night!
Goodnight Archer, lol. It is better to try and fail then not try at all.
Sleep well x
Thanks for reposting this China,
It is such a well informed article, note they will NOT seize any evidence. No surprise there then, you cant seize what doesnt exist.
As I said earlier, looks like the tail is wagging the dog
chinadoll said...
What I find interesting, is the wording in the first paragraph:-
'to interview more than 30 people who could help to prove that her parents were not involved in her abduction'
The article then goes on to say:-
'The list of people to be interviewed has been provided by Kate and Gerry McCann as part of their rights as arguidos to demand that police speak to people who could prove their innocence'
So, it would seem to me, that Portugal Minister who stated that the case was near an end, was probably inferring it was about to be wrapped up and imo the pj had no intention of coming over here to ask further questings.
It seems that the pj are coming here, at the request/demand of Kate and Gerry McCann - who are entitled to make such demands, as arguidos under Portuguese Law.

Hi
Just read back and in regards to the McCanns calling the shots about interviewing witnesses. I made a post (probably rambling) yesterday about it. In a nutshell I think this.
PJ have no evidence, so need to get a confession from the McCanns. With a confession, these 25/30 witnesses arent needed to make the case and also cant be used in McCanns defense. Without a confession, there is no case, so PJ never bothered to interview them.
Because if going to court, without a confession, everyone of those witnesses would be brought into court for the defence to raise reasonable doubt.
This is of course, all my own opinion.
Hi China
Glad to see you x
Rosie
I wasnt hiding, just trying to fit in a bit of work and try to scan very quickly through the posts.
Although I must admit I was abit scared, as was the first time I have seen your fiery temper.
Diane,
Indeed.
Which explains why they are due to arrive - not by their own wind, but because Kate and Gerry, as arguidos are using the Law of Portugal to force their hand.
They really picked on the wrong family this time.
Diane,
I suppose I should apologise for my temper and forthrightness the other night. Hope you were not offended - sorry about the language too.
China,
I still do not appear to have your email address.
Could you ask someone to forward it to me please?
If that is ok with you.
Hi Rosie, Tinks, Sass, Jane, Archer and anyone else I have missed.
Bring in on pj.
Get over here and do your job. You are required, by your own law to question the witnesses requested by the McCann arguidos - crack on and do it - in the presence of the Leicestershire Constabulary.
Note, any leaks after those interviews, will be rebuffed, because our police force will not tolerate underhand and illegal tactics of that nature.
Mum21,
I will send it to you.
Diane
I love the picture of your dog.
I went off to the dogs' home today to take out my usual hounds. One was already out and the other was in doggy hospital because she was sterilised yesterday, so I was dogless.
They asked if I would take out a dog I had seen on the website and I remembered the picture well. Looked to be about the size of a border collie. Great I thought and off I went to collect the dog.
Well when I got to his enclosure he was the size of a bl**dy donkey! He is an Irish wolfhound cross. I could have put a saddle on him and ridden him across the hills.
He's a lovely dog, very gentle but is useless on the lead. I swear I spent the whole time at a 45 degree angle leaning back.
Took him to an enclosure they have specially for the dogs to stretch their legs and run around in and he had a lovely old time running around with me, but the actual walk was not the usual length! How anyone manages to take a dog that size out and have any control at all is a mystery to me.
Thanks China
China
I wasnt offended and I can see that you also have a temper. Very justified the other night. There have been a few times when I just about lost it (my rag) but usually, I walk away from the computer before I post.
Wish I could do that in real life. My kids bear the brunt of my temper, as does my partner. As I have gotten older and the kids naughtier, my temper has gotten worse. Probably need the supernanny to come and help.
But as Kiwigirl said earlier, its Friday, and after baths and food, my partner and I will sit down for a few drinks this evening. Horror of horrors, a mother of two toddlers and I drink. Yes, but I dont write myself off. I do love a good Aussie wine.
Hi China
It was very short and sweet the first time you logged on because I had to go!
Diane
Did you hear about the Supernanny in Britain. She had a really bad case and the kids were really awful - until she got there of course. When she left one of them set fire to the house!
Well ladies,
I am not afraid to admit them I am enjoying a glass of red and have taken the liberty of wetting the head of Melbels new grandbairn.
You lucky lady Melbel, I am sitting here grinning and imagining your joy.
Jane,no i have posted my goodbyes there also. Best to you and your daughter, rosie.... what wedding??
Sassy,
No probs. I gathered you had had a busy day and had other things to catch up on.
Hi Sass
It must be good to work with the dogs like that. My problem is that I want to help all dogs and get upset when I see them not being looked after. I tried to report a neighbour when I lived in Brisbane because they had a yard about 3 metres by 3 metres with a quite large dog, that I never saw out of the yard in 6 months. It went in as a tiny puppy and I only ever saw it at the gate. I also believe it had no shelter and often had no water. But I couldnt prove it so the RSPCA did nothing. I was so upset, that I put a letter in another neighbours letter box to see if they could prove that it had no shelter etc. But I moved in the next few weeks and dont know what happened. Sass, the dog was so despondent it never even barked when I walked past with my two dogs. It still upsets me to this day.
Neighbours dog was in our yard this morning and attacked Cassie. Usually no problems but the other dog got near Cassie's food and it was on. She is now locked in the house. Muffy (the old dog) is much more even tempered, so there was no fighting there. Luckily Cass came inside when I called her. Much rather go to Mum than fight.
I'm off now! Won't be around much at all tomorrow!
Night!
Isis
Sorry I have obviously mixed you up with another poster who said their son was getting married soon.
So sorry. Take care xxx
Nite Sass, I'm off too everyone, cant fight the sandman anymore :0)
Take care xx
Night sass sleep well and take care, xxx
Good Night Sass
see you soon.
Tinks, I do not believe you, with your attitude you would probably kick sand in his face lol
Goodnight sleep well and take care xxx
Good Night Tinks.
I think I will do the same.
So Good Night Everyone.
take care and God Bless.
Sassyp,
'I could have put a saddle on him and ridden him across the hills'
I've now got an image in my mind of you in your original avatar, sitting aside the saddle of an Irish wolfhound cross (perhaps crossed with a donkey lol) and the two of you cantering up the hills to the the metune of the sound of music.
Hilarious stuff lololololololo
I probably won't get that tune or that image out of my head, for the rest of the evening now!!
MUM, SASS, TINKS
good night to you.
been off for snacks for us so missed last few minutes, sorry.
take care, weet dreams, see you next time, whenever.
our schools off for 2 weeks now so I will be dottier than usual. ha ha no, don't......if you know what I mean. probably leave mid post. ho hum.
take care....xx
OMG
weet dreams = SWEET DREAMS
;O(((((((((((((
FFFFINGER MALFFFFFFFFFUNCTION
Janegt,
'Weet dreams'
Did you miss out the 's' or put too many e's in? lol
Diane
I love going there - I get there about 3 times a week (it's voluntary so there are no set times).
The first time I was a complete wreck. I took a little labrador cross puppy out and he was so trusting and I just wondered why he was like that. The woman who runs the dog part is great with them all (as are the people looking after them).
When I left the first time she had given me this dog to take out and he was all waggly tailed and happy and she said to him "bye bye poppet, have a lovely time". When we got back she was there again and said "hello poppet, did you have fun" and he was all waggly bummed again. It was such a nice "homely" touch. On the way out he was given a Schmacko (you probably know these doggie treats), so they have treats too.
We went past the pet memorial and all the names of the animals who died (they aren't put down if noone wants them) there are listed. That set me off as well. I was an absolute wreck, but I could see that they are all really well looked after and although it's no substitute for a proper home, it's not a bad place to be! It's clean and warm and they have people working there who genuinely love animals and who spoil them as much as they can!
sass
YOU WICKED WOMAN
WHAT A VIVID PICTURE YOU CONJURE UP WITH YOUR DOG AND YOU 'FLYING' LIKE A KITE AT 45 DEGREE ANGLE. HA HA HA HA
LOVELY
lIKE CHINADOLL, I WILL REMEMBER THAT. ;O))))))))))))))))
Night again!
China - I'm never taking that dog out again! I'm going to specialise in chihuahuas! (And give treats to the big dogs!)
China
that is correct, they will not. look at the way they have handled the Shannon case, thorough and diligent and I have a feeling more arrests to com.
not making someone a suspect and keeping them hanging on almost a year later and in the McCann's case 7 months, and still no charges, it is absolutely farcical, a shambles and it is about time the Pj got their arse in gear and sorted this mess out, if they are incapable then they have only to ask the British police to take the case over, I have a feeling the British police are itching to get their hands on this!
I wonder if the Leicestershire police will ask questions of their own? There are bound to be questions raised when people answer the PJ ones!
Do you know that not only does everything get written down in longhand during a police interview in Portugal, there is NO audio recording and NO video footage?
Talk about backward! What are they afraid of? All modern day police forces should have these simple assets, for 'everyones protection!
No one could say people fell down the stairs then!

No matter it sounds very rude!
Gawd, my last couple of posts were totally off topic! Sorry about that!
Should I copy and paste them onto "Pet's Corner"?
Rosie,
Have you had a chance to read my earlier posts at 22.44 and 22.52?
Sassy,
Off topic?
No - just showing the human and humane side of you
I am still humming in my head 'the hills are alive with the sound of music' and picturing your original avatar aside a cross Irish Wolfhound, galloping into the sunset together lolololol
trust you chinadoll wysiwyg
to notice my ffinger malffunction
yes of course, I meant sweet dreams. What else my dear?
tee hee tee hee
You know, I am with you on this, the more we read, hear, see, the more rubbish we have been spoon fed and the more we need to expose this. A lot we have in our files has in my view, been swept under the carpet and not even the press can keep this story ['tamed[' any more as it has got far far far too bit. Add the blogs to that and wow...it is explosive.
It is all so so so very wrong. I am sick with it and it is not even my family involved in this travesty. I, like you, am so VERY ANGRY at the way this has been (mis)handled. Heads must roll. I also mean it when I call for Portugal to be taken out of the
E. U. now....not soon N O W.....
Sass
I was almost crying reading your last post. I am so glad the dogs are well looked after. It takes special people to look after dogs with no where to go and no one less to love them.
And who cares if get off topic everynow and then. It is a blog, not a school room.
Rosie
No recording.
No wonder the PJ are have problems of recants.
I thought that all serious crime interviews with suspects were videoed. And I thought all western countries did this.
I learn something new everyday.
China
Ta!
Don't forget to write "galloping uncontrollably in any direction the hound wants and for as far as he wants". Me experiencing pure rodeo!
Now I'm seriously going!
Sorry for the poor english, fingers are going slower than the brain or possible the other way around, not sure.
Janegt,
I agree. As Rosiepops, said recently, a can of worms has been openened here and they no chance of finding them all an putting them back in.
Justice must prevail and Justice must be seen to prevail.
Goodnight Sassy and all others I missed earlier.....my fault, was multi tasking - or trying to lol
Rosiepops,
With regards to your reference about video interviews and why Portugal has not adopted such basic techniques.
It certainly would have come in handy in the Cipriano case - if the arguidos had nothing to hide.
Hmmm
chinadoll/rosiepops
but why oh why are the PJ and other countries perhaps too so far behind in not interviewing with video and translators immediately? Time is of the essence. This seems archaic to me just like their stupid secrecy laws. I can't understand how there is not a set down procedure for all countries, particularly in E.U. I just cannot comprehend what has happened here.
It seems visibly out of control on all levels. Ridiculous.
china, diane, sass, rosie, mum

;O)))))
If only the pj had kept other options open and pursued same with equal vigour, as they have pursued the parents of little Madeleine.
So much wasted effort - and for what?
Saving face?
The whole sorry mess lies at the doorstep of the pj, they are truly unforgiveable.
They have no idea where this child is or what happened to her. All they ever had, was a hunch. They focused on the hunch and went searching for evidence to support it.
They will soon be required to put their cards on the table and the world will see that they NEVER had a case, they were just following their nose.........and just like the dogs, they got it all so very wrong.
Good night Janet.
Take care.
China
Agreed.
I read recently that most of the miscarriages of justice that have occurred in Britain (and probably same here) were because the police officers concerned (and not just one or two either) truly believed that the suspects were guilty. They then either concocted evidence, or failed to properly look at other avenues of investigation.
These police officers believed what they were doing were right and as the suspects were guilty. I think that the PJ (some of them) are having the same problem.
They really need to get outside help and do an external review of this case. Follow up with a public inquiry into the workings of the PJ and the secrecy laws, and the other issues that keep getting raised.
By the way, a little dove just crashed into our back glass door and broke its neck. It was so beautiful and it has upset me no end. My partner thinks I have lost my mind because it has made me cry. We are getting roman blinds and these have been delayed as couldnt get the material. They should have been here 2 months ago and if they had the dove would still be alive.
China/Rosie
There is an article out this morning saying that it is quite likely that the arguido status for the McCanns could still have a while to go. It could be interpreted that their status only started in Sept when they were declared arguidos. But this doesnt make any sense because an extension has already been sort and granted once. So it doesnt make a lot of sense that after granting an extension that they turn around and change the start date.
Just need to wait and see I guess. Also, McCann lawyers would know this, so if it were true, why would they come out saying that the arguido status should be lifted in April.
Diane,
I will try to respond to your last post first.
You are correct that the arguido statust could be extended to September.
Alas, this would be a desperate measure and the last chance saloon for the pj. This, is, basically, the longest they can string it out.
From what I can gather, access to the files, under their secrecy laws, is a different matter and can only be extended in matters of national security ie terrorism or in the case of international organised crime.
Unless the pj concede that Madeleine was abducted and that her abductors could be part of an international child snatching organisation, then they have no grounds whatsoever, to extend that particular deadline.
They are running on borrowed time, one way or the other.
Rosie
That explains it then. Still arguidos but with access to the files.
That does seem a bit strange doesnt it. And if no evidence (and looks increasingly likelly there is none),then the PJ will just look like fools if they extend the arguido status.
As I understand it, they can still investigate them and if they get further evidence the McCanns be reinstated as arguidos. So the PJ would be best to take that option.
Hello and Goodnight ladies !
Diane,
From what I have read, the pj have repeatedly refused assistance from outside police forces (from all over the world ie not just Europe)
They seem to want to maintain control of every aspect of the investigation and do not wish to share anything - other than amongst themsleves ie Christavoa and his ilk, who are given the green light to publish novels and fantasies about ongoing investigations and appeals of same (to which he, himself and his four colleagues, are arguidos)
With regards to the incident with the dove - that's life Diane, these things happen.
We have had wild ducks visit our garden for some years now. They appear early spring, mate and nest. The fox was a visitor early on and totally devastated the nest. We purchased a bespoke floating duckhouse to prevent a repetition and this has truly done the job.
When the ducks first started to nest, our 9 year old Staffy kept the fox and cats at bay. Unfortunately, she died the following year, when all the trouble started. Now, due to the floating duckhouse and our little girl Daisy (another Staffy) they are as safe as they can be in an urban garden.
To conclude, I know how you feel about the dove, alas, it cannot be helped. Sometimes they take off, because they are startled and blinds, or no blinds, their number is up.
Mother nature moves in mysterious ways.
Diane,
Your 1.09am post?????????
DLTHOC,
Keep up the good work.
We are all doing our own little bit, in our own way - no matter how insignificant.
Godbless.
I know it is heartening to see Nice posters on youtube there are too many looooons !!
Just Wanted to say Hi and Bye .. Check in again Soon !
What really gets my goat (oops sorry to mention the goat) is that the pj appear to be unable to let go. Rather like holding on for grim life/death.
Are they really that desperate and if so WHY?
Why not open up and let another respected police force review the files?
What on earth has Portugal got to hide?
Perhaps the pj know more than we do?
Sinister, indeed.
DLTHOC,
Lovely to see you again.
Hope to see you soon.
DLTHOC,
I have heard of youtube, but do not subscribe to that particular blog.
Glad that you do and hope it is worthwhile.
Anything that Helps to Continue raising the Awareness of Madeleine's Abduction and Other Missing Children, has to be Time well spent.
Take care
Janet

China
Rosie has explained the secrecy thing and the arguido status. But I read this morning that arguido status and secrecy can be extended for a few more months, if the starting date is taken as Sept (8 months from there, and then a three month extension). Rosie doesnt think they will do this but I am not sure.
Will have to wait and see. Logic doesnt really seem to come into this, there is I believe ego's and national pride at stake which are resulting in the wrong decisions getting made.
We will have to wait and see. We will know soon enough. I take it a sign that arguido status will be lifted, after these inteviews, as per the reports coming out last month. But I dont want to get my hopes up.
The only hopes I want to get up, is that someone is getting close to finding Madeleine.
DLTHOC,
It most certainly is and good for you. Keep up the good work
Diane,
Just to repeat what I said earier, but to ADD that the deadline for access to the files, runs out on April 14th or thereabouts.
Hence all the rush and panic to come over here and tie up all the loose ends. Only in cases of terrorism or international crime, can this particular law, be applied/manipulated:-

Diane,
When I say deadline to access to the files, I mean the secrecy law ie the files of the pj.
Entirely different to the arguido status - this is allowed to be held in place until September, at the discretion of the pj.
And it stinks.
Melbel,
Just incase you did not see my previous posts (you've been on maternity leave, I hear)
Ya lucky moooooooooooo.......
