'Concealed' police statements impeded investigation into potential paedophile ring link, ex detective claims
May 13, 2019
British police allegedly "concealed" statements in the Madeleine McCann case and impeded a line of inquiry into possible links to an international paedophile ring, according to allegations from the Portuguese detective who led the 2007 investigation.
Speaking in Episode 10 of Maddie, nine.com.au's podcast investigation into Madeleine's disappearance, Goncalo Amaral made a series of stunning claims in a rare interview with English-speaking media.
Mr Amaral detailed a potential line of inquiry he believed may have helped work out what happened to Madeleine. It involved the possibility of an international paedophile ring that may have had links to people close to, or in contact with, the McCann family, without the McCanns' knowledge.
[Of course without their knowledge..../s]
He claimed some statements which may have been relevant to that line of inquiry had been initially withheld by British police, who at the time were working in tandem with the Portuguese.
"The British authorities tried to conceal the statement and nothing was done about this statement," Mr Amaral said.
"They were not followed up. Nobody investigated anything related to them."
Mr Amaral alleged his team of detectives had asked British police for further information about a potential person of interest but were informed they held "absolutely nothing" of significance.
"Of course … when the British police stated that they did not have any information, they already had the statements," he said.
"So, there is this issue with the British police concealing information that they already had.
"When the statements finally arrived, they came mixed up with other papers," Mr Amaral alleged.
Nine.com.au contacted the Leicestershire Police about the claims but was referred to Scotland Yard's Operation Grange. A Scotland Yard spokesperson declined to comment.
[Interesting...]
Further details about the explosive allegations from Mr Amaral are detailed in Episode 10 of Maddie, which charted at number 1 in the UK, Australia and New Zealand soon after its March release.
(see link below)
Last weekend nine.com.au reported how Mr Amaral said his team of detectives had been searching for a mystery apartment where they believed Madeleine's body could have been temporarily hidden in a freezer.
He said before that line of inquiry could be concluded he was removed from the case in October 2007.
Mr Amaral was replaced after he was quoted in a newspaper criticising British police who were on the ground in Praia da Luz.
Kate and Gerry McCann, both doctors from Rothley, Leicestershire, have strenuously denied they were involved in the disappearance of their daughter.

I remember watching Richard Hall's documentary, Peter Hyatt's statement analysis indicating guilty knowledge, and Math Easy Solutions review of the police sketches which almost perfectly resemble the Podesta brothers

Operation Grange is a strange name if you look at the definition. Grange - definition of grange by The Free Dictionary Search domain www.thefreedictionary.com/grangehttps://www.thefreedictionary.com/grange 2. (Historical Terms) history an outlying farmhouse in which a religious establishment or feudal lord stored crops and tithes in kind. For those that believe, or wonder if she is still alive, Amaral could be wrong and right. One could be stored in a freezer for a bit without dying. Amoral could also be part of the cover up. We are looking from the extreme outside. Wish we could ask the Podestas.

One of the e fit drawings of 'people of interest' in the McCann tragedy - in addition to the 2 Podesta brothers - is a dead ringer for Ghislaine Maxwell, the procuress of underage girls for Jeffrey Epste8n.
(She is also the daughter of Robert Maxwell).

The McCanns have done everything in their power to silence Amaral, one of the very few people (perhaps the only one) truly investigating this case.
theooeht ago
I believe more disinfo.
Yes, I believe people close to the McCann's were involved.
think- ago
which part is disinfo you think
theooeht ago
Everything other than the people close to the McCanns were involved and that the police covered up leads.
They wanted that child and there would be no way in hell they would kill her and put her in a freezer. That wasn't the purpose.
think- ago
Maybe it wasn't the purpose, but then you never know what might have happened.
Maybe someone paid for being able to rape and kill her. Or she died of injuries.

Or she could have been chosen for other reasons
Was she MK'd?
Breeder?
Could she bend spoons? Lol
If Mom was an agent, Maddie could have many uses
theooeht ago
Nope.
Don't believe it.
She was their little prize. She they'd want to torture ... no way would they allow her to be killed. And she certainly wouldn't have been able to fight back. They're experts at torture. They wouldn't risk losing her.

I would agree this is likely, she seemed too much of a high-profile case to be mishandled like that, but what the hell do we know of their intentions? More to the point, Amaral only said it was a lead, & the police intruded. To that end, I can believe.
