Police begins today the attack on the contradictions of the McCann’s friends
http://joana-morais.blogspot.com/2008/0 ... canns.html
PJ authorized questioningThe PJ Team and
the Police
of Leicester were yesterday in a meeting that lasted
the whole afternoon to adjust
the manner
of how
the interrogations are going to take place.
Now it’s
the time for
the coordinator
of criminal investigation
of the PJ, Paulo Rebelo to show what he is worth.
The right-arm
of Guilhermino Encarnação,
the person in charge
of the PJ’s Directory
of Faro, his going to lead, from 9h00
of today, all
the interrogations to
the seven friends with whom Madeleine's parents had dinner in
the night
the girl disappeared, from Praia da Luz, Algarve.
The diligence should be done only by
the British authorities, but
the Portuguese obtained a special authorization to do
the interrogations directly. “We were only going to assist
the interrogations and make suggestions. However due to
the good existent collaboration between both police forces, it was agreed that we should do
the cross-examinations. It was a question
of courtesy from
the English Police in general and
of Leicester in particular�? explained to 24horas a Judiciary Police source.
24horas was able to gather that Jane Tanner will be
the first witness to be heard, for
the reason that her statement given initially to
the PJ and
the declarations she made publicly, along
the months that followed
the disappearance, are
of those who present bigger inconsistencies.
It was she who said, some months after
the disappearance, to have seen a man near
the apartment
of the McCanns carrying what appeared to be a child wrapped up in a blanket. But Jane will not be
the only target
of the authorities. Her husband, Russel O'Brien, is also going to be "grilled", since his declarations to
the authorities changed with time. Dianne Webster,
of 63, and
the oldest person
of the Tapas group, will have to explain why she did not show surprise when she saw Kate entering in
the Tapas Bar screaming. And why she remained seated more than five minutes until she decided to leave
the place.
Witnesses of the McCannsThe day
of yesterday was a fuss for Paulo Rebelo and for
the two investigators who accompanied him. They had to wake up at around 6h00 to be in
the Faro Airport at 7h00 to do
the check-in for
the EasyJet flight at 9h00 bound for Birmingham, where they arrived only around 12h30.
Soon after they had lunch and at 14h30 they entered in a high speed Ford gray van, with tinted glasses, in
the headquarters
of the Leicester police. There followed a meeting that lasted all
the afternoon. Meanwhile, two witnesses, allegedly indicated by
the McCanns, were heard, in
the context
of the rogatory letter, only by British officers.
The PJ did not find them relevant.
Clarence Mitchell and Justine McGuinness, which practiced
the spokesperson's functions for
the McCanns in Praia da Luz (
the first one maintains this position in England) might be able to help explaining to
the PJ how traces
of blood
of the child ended up in
the Renault Scenic.
The vehicle was rented by Madeleine's parents three weeks after her disappearance and
the detection
of those evidences contributed in order for
the police to change
the course
of the investigation, in August
of 2007, starting to point to
the theory
of the death.
The interest
of the couple
McCann in suggesting to
the authorities to hear Clarence Mitchell and Justine McGuiness is attached to
the fact that besides
the McCanns they were
the persons, who travelled more in that car.
Very expensive hotelsThe base
of the team
of the PJ sent to England is going to be
the headquarters
of the police
of Leicester. But Paul Rebelo and his collaborators are going to be in a hotel in Enderby, nearly 15 kilometers from
the center
of Leicester.
The expensive prices and
the lack
of vacancies obstructed
the authorities to stay in heart
of the city.
The Hilton Hotel and
the Marriot were
the first choices.
The first one asked between 195 euros to 300 euros per night. In
the second
the ‘party�?was not for less than 300 euros to 450 euros. A source
of the PJ pointed out that it was not for lack
of funds that
the team did not settle down in one
of these two hotel unities, simply there were no vacancies left.
The choice fell in
the Ramada Hotel, where
the PJ’s team sent to gather
the expert examinations carried out in a laboratory
of Birmingham stayed previously. There,
the PJ is going to pay 150 euros per night.
The transport will be supplied by
the English police.

�?that Paulo Rebelo even let his beard grow, naturally, to pass unnoticed.
