Police Raid Homes Of 80 Paedophiles |

Portuguese detectives are trawling through a mountain of child pornography for
pictures of Madeleine McCann after raiding the homes of 80 suspected
paedophiles.
The raid on 75 homes - which involved 80 suspects - was the country's biggest
police operation against child exploitation.
Paulo Rebelo, a senior criminal investigation co-ordinator at the national
police headquarters in Lisbon,
has taken over the inquiry and is refocusing on the theory that Madeleine was
abducted by a paedophile.
Kate and Gerry McCann, who have been named as suspects over the disappearance
of their daughter, are said to be "extremely encouraged" by the
reports.
Clarence Mitchell, the family's spokesman, confirmed that 150 computers had
been seized in the raids, which were carried out across Portugal.
He said: "We are naturally extremely encouraged by this kind of police
activity.
"This was an operation undertaken by officers not on the Madeleine case,
but we hope that there will be liaison between the two inquiries.
"If the police are looking at images on 150 computers there might be some
information developed from that.
"We would be especially interested to hear whether any of the raids took
place in or around Praia da Luz."
Mr Mitchell also spoke about Mr Rebelo, now he is heading the investigation
into Madeleine's disappearance.
He said: "We welcome whoever is in charge and we would hope that he will
work to eliminate any possible abductors and then refocus his efforts on
finding Madeleine."
Mr Rebelo's initiative marks a tougher stance against paedophiles in Portugal.
Until 2004, possession of child pornography was not an offence in the country
unless the material was sold on. |
