According to a new UK report, Scotland Yard detectives are currently talking with the Portuguese police team about a new suspect in the famous case of missing British girl, Madeleine McCann.
According to Express.com.uk, detectives from Operation Grange travelled to Portugal to meet with the Policia Judiciaria, the Portugal police force, following reports that a foreign paedophile has become a prime suspect in the case.
WATCH! A Maddie McCann update has been issued
Portuguese police reopened the case of Madeleine’s disappearance in 2013, and according to the publication, have been openly cooperating with the British police ever since.
A source in the Portuguese coastal town of Porto told British newspaper the Daily Mirror: “The British were here recently, there were talks at the PJ office in the city.
“It’s all very secret but it always is with the Madeleine case. Only the police know who the suspect is.”
Scotland Yard recently released a statement confirming that they are still actively investigating the case of Maddie McCann: “The investigation into the disappearance of Madeleine McCann remains ongoing.
“We are not providing a running commentary.”
On May 3, 2007, Maddie McCann disappeared from the holiday apartment where her family were staying in the town of Praia da Luz. Maddie‘s parents, Kate and Gerry McCann, have maintained vigilance in their efforts to find their daughter since the disappearance 12 years ago.
Operation Grange, the task force set up by the Metropolitan police to find Madeliene, has so far exhausted $21 million in funds, according to the Home Office, a number that drew some criticism from the British public.
The Madeleine McCann case was recently the subject of Netflix documentary, The Disappearance of Madeleine McCann, which claims Maddie is still alive.
The series focuses on the theory that human traffickers snatched the blonde-haired, blue-eyed tot and brought her overseas for sale.
The documentary, which is split into eight parts, features 40 experts including investigators and senior officials including the UK’s leading child protection Jim Gamble.
Gamble believes the mystery will be solved within his lifetime and is seen telling the camera: “We will find out what happened to Madeleine McCann.
