Charges against the McCann’s and at least four others will be made around 10th July if everything is in order. Charges may be delayed until middle of August due to holidays.

The charges against the McCanns are of a very serious nature. The British police are also preparing to charge the McCanns, and a lot of other people connected with them, with other offences. The Spanish police are also preparing a case on Metado3. The three police forces are all trying to get the charges made at the same time (this could cause the delay). The detective in charge from Leicester has travelled to the Algarve twice in the last three weeks to help finalize matters with the PJ."
