What happened to Madeleine McCann?

Already in February 3, 2008, we wrote about the high probability that the one to blame for Madeleine McCann's death were her own parents, as the portuguese police department believed. In that time they have been wildly attacked by the brittish media, especially the tabloids, while the government kept silent.

Now we know that they shared the "portuguese" opinion that Madeleine's parents should be investigated, thanks (again) to the Wikileaks' cables:

"British police helped to "develop evidence" against Madeleine McCann's parents as they were investigated by Portuguese police as formal suspects in the disappearance of their daughter, the US ambassador to Portugal was told by his British counterpart in September 2007.

(...)

In a diplomatic cable marked confidential, the US ambassador reported: "Without delving into the details of the case, Ellis admitted that the British police had developed the current evidence against the McCann parents, and he stressed that authorities from both countries were working co-operatively."

The comments attributed to the ambassador appear to contradict the widespread perception at the time that Portuguese investigators were the driving force behind the treatment of the McCanns as suspects in the case

Madeleine McCann

Cartell en un centre comercial a Extremadura.


Suposso que cap dels que llegiu això desconeixeu la història de Madeleine McCann [*] [*] [crono].
També haureu sentit les darreres notícies sobre aquesta història; les declaracions del cap de la policia portuguesa que investiga el cas dient que potser es van precipitar a l'acusar als McCann [*]... Però llavors, què ha passat amb les proves que tenien?! [*]

Això em recorda un article que vaig llegir poc després de que els McCann es convertissin en sospitosos: venia a dir que era probable que, sense proves concloents, el govern britànic pressionaria al govern portugues i/o a la policia perque no inculpessin als McCann. Dit així pot sonar a paranoia conspiratoria, però si ho pensem una mica no és tan descabellat; recordem que des del principi el govern britànic es va implicar directament en el cas enviant un assessor a Portugal, Clarence Mitchell ("un ex periodista de la BBC y asesor de Blair, que ahora está en el gobierno de Brown" [*]), apart de l'implicació de figures notòries del Regne Unit i de la resta del món. Què passaria en futurs casos si es demostra que tot ha estat un montatge dels McCann?

Però sincerament, què pot portar a una mare que descobreix la desaparició de la seva filla a trucar en primer lloc a un mitjà de comunicació i no a la policia? Segueixo pensant que només els pares de Maddie saben què va succeir realment.
