MISSING PAGES FROM THE
OFFICIAL INQUIRY FILES and DOCUMENTS

This information belongs to the Ministério Público in Portimão, Portugal.
It was released to the public on 4 August 2008 in accordance with Portuguese Law

From “Madeleine” by Kate McCann: 

 

It wasn’t until a year later, when I was combing through the Portuguese police files, that I discovered that the note requesting our block booking was written in a staff message book, which sat on a desk at the pool reception for most of the day. This book was by definition accessible to all staff and, albeit unintentionally, probably to guests and visitors, too. To my horror, I saw that, no doubt in all innocence and simply to explain why she was bending the rules a bit, the receptionist had added the reason for our request: we wanted to eat close to our apartments as we were leaving our young children alone there and checking on them intermittently. 

 

The note mentioned is not on the DVD although Tapas reservation lists are here: tapas bookings

MISSING PAGES FROM THE FILES ARE NOT IN THE DVD LINK  ORIGINAL FILES
MCCANN PJ FILES DOES NOT HAVE ACCESS TO THE MISSING FILES
 

With thanks to Albym :
As requested, the list of pages pulled from the files. I haven't done a full literal translation but essentially:
- Category A
relate to people identified during the inquiry whose possible link to the events is extremely unlikely (the most tenuous) and whose right to privacy would be infringed if their personal information were left on file (basically the 'pervy percy' list).
- Category B
relate to crimestopper data with respect to sightings, the TV program having guaranteed anonymity.
- Category C
relate to information from people - often criminals or having a criminal history - that was volunteered by them and they should not be put at risk for having come forward.

You will notice that in the DVD forum Volume-by-Volume Index there are occasional notes on missing pages. Those that I have checked relate to pages withdrawn in accordance with these instructions.

Portimao Circuit of the Office of the Procurator of the Republic

Conclusion on 23/07/2008

CLS = =

Taking into account the content of the 'Despacho' set out on pages 4655/4657, the MoPo (Ministerio Publico) submits to Your Honour the following:

A - In the inquiry there are passages that contain information that can contend with the right to private life of people, not only British citizens, for whom there was found not the faintest hint of implication in this case, namely:

Volume I, fls. 211/212: reference to an individual with a past linked to crimes of a sexual nature with children.

Volume II
- Fls. 293/297: is a list of individuals connected with the practice of sex crimes with minors and adolescents.
- Fls. 298/300: reference to an individual linked with the practice of acts of pedophilia and exhibitionism;
- Fls. 473/474: reference to an individual linked with the practice of acts of exhibitionism.

Volume III, fls. 754/757: information and bibliographic record of a citizen in connection with acts of paedophilia.

Volume V, fls. 1246/1254: list resulting from the search carried out in the PJ Database related to individuals of foreign nationality and linked with child sexual abuse and paedophilia.

Volume XV
- Fls. 4085/4100: reference to a Portuguese citizen having physical similarities to the portrait (e-fit), with police record showing convictions for robbery, rape and kidnapping.
- Fls. 4102/4110: identification of an English individual having physical similarities to the portrait (e-fit).
- Fls. 4116/4127: work performed with an individual known through the practice of a crime of sexual abuse of minors, having a police record and convictions for that same crime.

Volume XVI, fls. 4130/4132: reference to a French citizen with physical similarities to the portrait (e-fit).

Regarding the material contained in those pages and for the reasons given, because we believe that, after their removal, the [rule of] judicial secrecy should remain, replacing it [the material] with a summary of what they [the pages] contained and the creation of an Appendix [Annexure file] to remain in the custody of an entity considered competent for its custody [safe-keeping], for the single purpose of demonstrating its existence, in terms of the requirement of Article 86 (7) of the CPP.

Tendo em conta que a essencia do programa crimestoppers e o anonimato, criando-se uma confianca entre a fonte e a policia, tendo ainda em conta que por vezes nao consta a identificacao da fonte, mas consta o seu e-mail, porque entendemos que devem permanecer em segredo de justica p. que as fls. referidas sejam igualmente desentranhadas e juntas ao Apenso referido anteriormente em A, a ficar a guarda da Entidade considerada competente para a sua guarda, com a finalidade unica de comprovar a sua existencia, nos termos do disposto no artigo 86 no 7 do CPP.

C - Finalmente ha a referir o Apenso VI - 2: trata-se de diligencias e exploracao de informacao referente a criminalidade eventualmente relevante bem assim como um levantamento da criminalidade localizada e criminalidade de cariz sexual. As informacoes tratadas, chegaram a PJ por conhecimento proprio, atraves das autoridades britanicas e por outras fontes, sendo constituido por cinco volumes, contendo igualmente informacoes que podem contender com o direito a deserva da vida privada de pessoas, pelo que permanecerem nos autos seria uma violacao dos direitos dessas mesmas pessoas, sendo certo que nada se apurou relacionado com o objecto destes autos.

Assim entendemos igualmente que devem manter-se em segredo de justice, mais promovendo que sejam os mesmos desapensados dos autos e sejam colocados a guarda da entidade considerada competente para a sua guarda, nos termos do disposto no artigo 86 no 7 do CPP.


 Alby translation of above

Taking into account that the essence of the Crimestoppers program is anonymity, creating a trust between the source and the police, and taking into account further that sometimes the identification of the source is not revealed, other than its e-mail address, because we believe that the rule of judicial secrecy should remain then those pages would also be removed and placed together in the Appendix previously mentioned in A above, to remain in the custody of the entity considered competent for its safe-keeping, for the sole purpose of demonstrating its existence, pursuant to Article 86(7) of the CPP.

C - Finally one has to refer to Attachment VI - 2: it holds work and exploitation of information regarding any possibly relevant crime as well as a survey of localised crime and crime of a sexual character. The intelligence obtained, coming to the PJ from their own knowledge base, through the British authorities and by other sources, consisting of five volumes, also contains information that can contend with the right to a private life of persons, such that its remaining in the case file would be a violation of the rights of those same people, it being certain that nothing was found relating to the purpose of this case file.

Thus we believe, in the same way, that they should be kept under the rule of judicial secrecy, further moving that they be extracted from the case file and be placed in the custody of the entity considered competent for their safe-keeping, pursuant to Article 86(7) of the CPP.

Considering the different hypotheses raised by the disappearance of the girl, Madeleine McCann, information relating to possible modes of transport/escape by territorial means (roads and railways), maritime and air routes was collected and analysed, which is included in this Apenso, no positive result having been found at the present moment.

Equally, information/photographs delivered by individuals who were on holiday in the area of the occurrence of events and obtained by this police force from some hotel establishments was explored, which, after being visualised, did not lead to any element pertinent to the case.

It is hereby consigned that some of the information incorporated in this Apenso has associated material in digital format and considering its sensitivity and preservation, it has been stored, duly identified in relation to the respective locations, in a box designated for this purpose, thereby constituting an annex to this Apenso.
