Detectives investigating the disappearance of Madeleine McCann are still considering whether she was kidnapped.
The country’s biggest-ever child exploitation operation is started:
Paulo Rebelo is one of Portugal’s most senior detectives, and he was speaking after 80 suspected paedophiles were arrested in this during the raids.
Kate and Gerry McCann will welcome that. They have been official suspects for more than a month.
British police had been asked to take DNA samples and fingerprints from all holidaymakers at the resort where Madeleine disappeared.
German and Dutch police are also believed to have been asked to trace and interview guests who were staying at the Ocean Club resort in Praia da Luz on May 3.
A team of Portuguese detectives visited again the ground-floor apartment where the McCanns stayed. A small service area beneath the apartment took theyr attention particularly.
The McCanns apartment has not been occupied since the beginning of August. At this time a British sniffer dog reportedly signalled that it might have discovered traces of a corpse.
Also new: Clarence Mitchell, spokesman for the McCanns, said that the McCanns wish to make it categorically clear: they have never used sedatives on their children.
