A new prosecutor has been put in charge of the Madeleine McCann case – and has vowed to solve it.

High-flying investigator Ines Sequeira said she was “utterly determined” to crack the case, bringing fresh hope to Madeleine’s parents, Kate and Gerry.

British detectives believe the appointment will shake up the probe and Scotland Yard officers will fly out next week to discuss a shortlist of seven prime suspects with their Portuguese counterparts.

A source close to the inquiry said: “Ms Sequeira is one of the sharpest and most ambitious prosecutors in Portugal. She is utterly determined to get a result on the Madeleine inquiry.

“British police are telling the McCanns they’re doing everything in their power to find out what happened.”

New hope: Kate McCann and her husband Gerry McCann


It is understood the investigation into Alice Gross, a 14-year-old schoolgirl found dead in west London, held up Operation Grange as resources were diverted during a huge search effort last week.

British police will arrive in Portugal next week to discuss plans to interrogate the seven shortlisted suspects and request permission to search their homes.

British detectives are trying to get a fifth letter of international request approved by the Portuguese authorities, which would allow them to continue their work on the ground in Portugal.

The Met’s Operation Grange team, set up to review the case, believe Madeleine may have been killed during a bungled break-in at the Ocean Club resort in Praia da Luz in May, 2007 while her parents were eating out nearby.

They will interview three of the seven suspects for a second time and request permission to search their homes.

The three suspects to be re-interviewed are understood to be Jose Carlos Fernandes da Silva, an ex-worker at the Ocean Club resort, Paulo Ribeiro, who looks like a man seen near the apartment, and charity collector Ricardo Rodrigues.

Missing: Madeleine McCann


Portugal’s Attorney General gave the go-ahead for the country’s own Madeleine McCann investigation to be reopened in May at the request of the country’s Policia Judiciaria police force - more than five years after the probe had been shelved.

The reopening of the investigation coincided with news a former employee at the Ocean Club holiday resort where Madeleine disappeared had been identified as a suspect.

Recovering heroin addict Euclides Monteiro, a convicted burglar, died in a tractor accident in 2009.

His widow Luisa Rodrigues was interviewed by Portuguese detectives but insisted he was an innocent man and has been fighting to get authorities to confirm they have now ruled him out as a suspect.

Madeleine’s parents have been buoyed up by the joint efforts of the two country’s police forces.

They believe Madeleine, who would now be aged 11, could still be alive.

McCann spokesman Clarence Mitchell said: “Kate and Gerry will not comment on Operation Grange."

This reads a 100% whitewash...I fear they are going to close this case very soon

Thanx Canada12 for the help

The statement `has vowed to solve it` immediately becomes suspect.  How does she expect to do this when the last prosecutor couldn`t.  She sounds a bit like Metodo3 vowing to bring Maddie home by Xmas.

P.S. oooooh - just noticed my new avatar - the old one vanished - thanks Candyfloss.

I just hope she means what she says. How can anyone believe in the abduction, when there's not one shred of evidence to support it, just the mcs say so, and we all know the lies they can tell.
IMO

Presumably she hasn't read all the police files yet?

Just looks like more McCann media spin to me, with 'sources' close to the investigation blah blah As if the police are going to name their suspects in the press prior to arrest. No, sorry just looks the usual nonsense to me.

OG has given them plenty of time to run or empty their houses of anything incriminating, but, no one has went on the run and no one is clearing out or moving house. Says a hell of a lot.
IMO

Yes, that does say a lot.  If the three people mentioned are suspected of breaking in and murdering Maddie, why on earth give them so much warning and tell newspapers about it?

I'm wondering if the purpose of the aborted October PR campaign was to bury this news, and possibly more news to come.  The news is simply that Portugal has appointed a prosecutor, and this story is spin from start to finish to give it a meaning that's favourable to the McCanns.

Totally agree. I hope this new prosecutor works with intelligence and heart, or is a bad a@@ who takes no shit or bullying!
IMO

Hmm.

A new prosecutor has been put in charge of the Madeleine McCann case – and has vowed to solve it.
Without any political interference?

High-flying investigator Ines Sequeira said she was “utterly determined” to crack the case, bringing fresh hope to Madeleine’s parents, Kate and Gerry.
Did she actually say that, or is this just journalistic embroidery? (Accompanied by an extremely unflattering picture of the McCanns looking anything but hopeful).

British detectives believe the appointment will shake up the probe and Scotland Yard officers will fly out next week to discuss a shortlist of seven prime suspects with their Portuguese counterparts.
So no big hurry, then.

A source close to the inquiry said: “Ms Sequeira is one of the sharpest and most ambitious prosecutors in Portugal. She is utterly determined to get a result on the Madeleine inquiry.
Oh, I do hope so!

“British police are telling the McCanns they’re doing everything in their power to find out what happened.”
Not "to find Madeleine"?

Yes, interesting that last line of the piece you quoted. 

Also in the Daily Mail:

A new Portuguese prosecutor has been charged with solving the disappearance of Madeleine McCann seven years after the British child vanished from her holiday apartment.

Ines Sequeira will lead the investigation into the case as Scotland Yard prepares to return to Praia da Luz to 're-interview' three suspects.

The article starts with facts, unusually for the Mail most of the rest of the article is pretty spin-free.

Let's hope she shows SY and Grange who is the boss, and does things her way. Don't get the prosecutor bit though, I thought they only became involved when the police had enough evidence to charge someone and the prosecutor decides whether they have or not? So have they got enough evidence to go to court?   Have I got it totally wrong?

IMO it's all coming to a head soon.

IAFAIK the Prosecutor is also giving permission to police for certain actions, based on their intelligence.

Thanks to Joana..

Madeleine's disappearance process is attributed to a new prosecutor


11 October 2014 | Posted by  Joana Morais Leave a Comment




Seven years later, the process of the disappearance of Madeleine McCann changed prosecutor's hands. With the new judicial chart, Magalhães e Menezes was transferred to the Labour Court of Portimão and was replaced by Mrs Inês Sequeira, who worked at the Public Ministry of Silves.

The new prosecutor, in office since early September, will have to address the fifth letter rogatory sent by the British authorities requesting further steps to be taken within the scope of the [English] investigation to the Maddie case.

Even without having received a reply to the letter rogatory, the Scotland Yard [sic, Metropolitan Police] inspectors are expected in Faro next week.

The meeting will serve, in essence, to assess the current status of the investigation with the Judiciary Police, and takes place three months after three men, at the request of the UK, were constituted as arguidos [formal suspects] and several people were interviewed as witnesses.

Regarding the behaviour of the UK media related to this news

. In Portugal the Oporto PJ coordinated by Monteiro is just conducting a [url=http://www.jn.pt/Dossies/dossie.aspx?content_id=3494730&dossier=O caso Maddie mccann&page=-1]review[/url] of the process, so a new prosecutor means nothing, unless the PJ is able to conduct an investigation without hindrance and/or further external pressures.

. This is an attempt to pressure the new Prosecutor a few days before Redwood's team returns to Portugal, ie, now that the prosecutor's name is in under the spotlight she "has to approve" all steps requested by the English rogatory letter, no matter how risible or unevidenced they may be.

. The prosecutor would never talk to/with the press without PGR/Public Ministry consent.

. Someone's leaking to Mirror, where else would they have found Inês Sequeira's name?

. Spin was added to the articles, citing the prosecutor. If the allegations are true then something must be done about it (breach of secrecy of justice).

. When will the PGR (AGO) Dr. Joana Marques Vidal put an end to the ignominious British pressure and numerous interferences?

So is this a good thing or a bad thing? Does it means the Portuguese investigation is, after all, alive and well?

Exactly, and I don't think it has to do with murderous burglars..

I wouldn't put too much stock in the UK media's line and unless there was some sort of evidence that we are unaware of, the conclusion can only be what we already know and of course that may tie in perfectly with the recent "troll" exposure,intended to give support and colour the judgment of the public, but of course we know ended tragically, and not in the McCann's favour

OG are going tomorrow aren't they?
