PGR (Attorney General) receives
the English
A work meeting with the Portuguese
authorities to strengthen collaboration
in the searches
A meeting of one and a half hours. The
stage was the offices of the PGR: the
protagonists, the English and Portuguese
authorities. The goal was the same as
that of other meetings of the same type.
To strengthen the relations between the
authorities of the two countries, to
consolidate ties which will permit a
common investigation in order to clarify
the Maddie case.
The leader of the English police team,
Nicola Wall, was one of those present at
the meeting. The PJ was represented by
the magistrate Pedro Carmo, deputy
national director. Also present were the
district attorney general and the head
of the inquiry opened in the
jurisdiction of Faro. Also called to
participate was a representative of the
British Home Secretary as well as the
British Ambassador.
This was Nicola Wall's second meeting
with the highest representatives of the
case. The English inspector took over
after Andy Redwood retired from the
Metropolitan Police Services.
Nicola Wall came over from the Homicides
and Serious Crimes Division to Operation
Grange, which is investigating the
disappearance of the English child on
May 3, 2007, from the room where she
slept with her younger twin siblings, in
an apartment in a tourist complex in
Praia da Luz, Algarve.
The case was shelved and reopened, but
nothing new has been found. All of the
scenarios remain open.

Rogatory Letter

First appearance in December
Nicola Wall came to Portugal for the
first time, as head of the English
investigation into the disappearance of
Maddie, in December, when she met with
the PJ, in Faro.
10 Million
The English investigation of the case
has already cost € 10 million from the
British coffers and has, so far, not
produced any advances, that we know of,
into the search for Maddie. |
