The British police “developed the current evidence against” Madeleine McCann’s parents, according to a Lisbon US embassy cable published by Wikileaks.
 

In the cable, the US ambassador Al Hoffman describes what his UK counterpart, Alexander Ellis allegedly told him.

The cable reads: Madeleine McCann’s disappearance in the south of Portugal in May 2007 has generated international media attention with controversy surrounding the Portuguese-led police investigation and the actions of Madeleine’s parents.”

“Without delving into the details of the case, [British Ambassador Alexander] Ellis admitted that the British police had developed the current evidence against the McCann parents, and he stressed that authorities from both countries were working cooperatively.”

It continues “He commented that the media frenzy was to be expected and was acceptable as long as government officials keep their comments behind closed doors.”

The meeting between Al Hoffman and Alexander Ellis, took place two weeks after Kate and Gerry McCann were formally declared arguidos, or suspects, by Portuguese police in the case of their daughter who went missing from Praia da Luz in May 2007.

The McCanns have said that there was “absolutely no evidence to implicate them in Madeleine’s disappearance whatsoever.”

Wikileaks began publishing more than 250,000 leaked United States embassy cables last month, the largest set of confidential documents ever to be released into the public domain. The documents will give people around the world an unprecedented insight into US Government foreign activities.

The cables, which date from 1966 up until the end of February this year, contain confidential communications between more than 270 embassies across the world and the State Department in Washington DC.

Meanwhile, 39 year-old Julian Assange, the founder of Wikileaks was granted bail at City of Westminster Magistrates’ Court in London on Tuesday on the condition he provides sureties of £240,000 in cash. Despite many high profile supporters, some of whom joined members of the public outside the court this week to campaign for his release, he is being forced to remain in Wandsworth Prison pending an appeal against his bail by the Swedish authorities. The appeal was due to be heard at the High Court on Thursday.
