Sniffer dogs were used in a search of the reservoir's banks, and police officers went out into the water on an inflatable boat. In a separate statement to German TV channel RTL, Mr Wolters said he could not "give any concrete information" on the clues on which the search operation is based. The Metropolitan Police said its officers were in Portugal so they can inform Madeleine's family of any developments.It is not the first time the reservoir has been searched as part of the investigation.
Mr Wolters is treating Brueckner as the main suspect in the McCann case, although he has never been charged over Madeleine's disappearance and has denied any involvement.
