The men, one British and one Portuguese,
are expected to face questioning in Faro
on the Algarve along with nine other
witnesses.
Portuguese officers will conduct the
interviews with British officers
present.
Separate witnesses saw the men near the
apartment in Praia da Luz shortly before
Madeleine, three, was abducted on May 3
2007.
Detective Chief Inspector
Andy Redwood flies to Faro tomorrow
in the hope that he can achieve a
breakthrough in the days before he
retires.
He is being joined on the trip by
DCI
Nicola Wall from the Met’s Homicide
and Major Crime Command Unit.
She is taking over command of Operation
Grange, the Yard’s investigation into
the case, on December 22.
Her appointment means an all-woman team
now heads the international
investigation.
DCI Wall will be working closely with
Portuguese state prosecutor
Ines
Sequira.
She will also attend meetings with
Ana Paulo Rito, the criminal
coordinator of the Policia Judiciaria in
nearby Portimao, and
Helen Monteiro, who leads the team
of Portuguese detectives.
Meanwhile, in Lisbon on Wednesday the
libel trial brought by Madeleine’s
parents Kate and Gerry McCann against
former police chief Goncalo Amaral
