So what happened to these questions from PJ to the McCann to be asked by Leicestershire police?

Interesting, I presume these questions were never asked by the Leicestershire Police just after the McCanns returned after being made arguidos.........


McCann case detectives ‘fly to UK’

Clarence Mitchell reads out a statement to the media on Tuesday



Portuguese detectives have flown in to the UK with a list of fresh questions for the parents of Madeleine McCann, it was reported.

Three officers have arrived in Britain ahead of a fresh interrogation of Kate and Gerry McCann, according to the Evening Standard.

The couple, both 39, returned to their home in Rothley, Leicestershire, last week after spending four months in Portugal awaiting developments.

The newspaper said the officers wanted Leicestershire Police to put the questions to the McCanns, who have been declared official suspects in the case although they deny any involvement in her disappearance or death.

“The Portuguese police will not be asking the McCanns questions directly but will be providing a list of questions that the Leicestershire Police should ask,” the paper quoted a source close to the investigation as saying.
But a spokeswoman for the McCanns said: “To date we have had no contact from them, no request, nothing like that… if they are on their way, they have in no way let the family or the legal team know.”
The McCanns have repeatedly said they believe the four-year-old, who went missing from their holiday apartment in Praia Da Luz on the Algarve on May 3, could still be alive.
They appeared outside their Rothley home flanked by Clarence Mitchell, the former director of the Government’s Central Office of Information’s media monitoring unit, who quit the top post to work as their spokesman.
Mr Mitchell worked with the McCanns in Portugal in May and was instrumental in spearheading the launch of their global publicity campaign which has made Madeleine’s face one of the most recognised in the world.
Few outside their friends and family spent more time with Gerry and Kate McCann in the days and weeks after their eldest child’s apparent abduction in Portugal than him.

My memory's a bit hazy but IIRC, it was determined that the McCanns would only have to answer Portuguese questions while they were back in the UK if the questions were put to them in the form of a "Rogatory". The Rogatories then flew backwards and forwards a few times before the final list of "approved" questions was put to them.

I could be wrong, however.

The McCanns didn't answer any questions whilst in the UK canada12,  I think their rogatories were their final interviews in PDL before they flew back. 

These were additional questions the PJ wanted to ask just after they flew back so quickly in 2007 , it seems all the other witnesses were asked questions by LP but the McCanns were not at anytime.... not that we know about anyway.    I think you are right about the rogatories flying back and forth, dear old Jacqui, but they were for the tapas lot not the McCanns I don't think - and they happened nearly a year later in 2008.

Yes I think you're right. All I could remember was the rogatories!
