police chief hits back at Portuguese detective's claims
The head of Leicestershire Police has rejected claims from a former
Portuguese detective that his officers withheld a witness statement from
the Madeleine McCann inquiry.
Chris Eyre, the Temporary Chief Constable, said "I can assure you that
at no time were statements withheld and not passed on.?
Goncalo Amaral, the Algarve detective who was removed the inquiry early
on, made his claim in a book, which is now banned.
Mr Eyre responded after Freedom of Information requests were submitted
by the Sunday Express.
A team of Leicestershire family liason officers went to Portugal on May
5 2007 to support the McCanns.
It has also emerged that the Foreign Office has withheld details about
the investigation so as not to damage relations between Britain and
Portugal.
An individual submitted Freedom of Information requests to get details
of negotiations by John Buck, Britain's former ambassador to Portugal.
The then Information Commissioner Richard Thomas refused in case it
caused Portugal to lose trust in Britain's discretion.
