Senior detectives apologize for mishandling the initial police investigation into the disappearance of Madeleine McCann and how the McCanns were treated. The investigation was eventually shelved in 2008, but the couple remained under suspicion in Portugal for years.
Senior detectives are said to have apologised for the police’s handling of the case and how Kate and Gerry McCann were treatedThe delegation reportedly said the initial police investigation was not handled properly and officers did not properly appreciate the McCanns’ position as foreigners in an environment they did not understand as they apologised for how detectives treated the family.
That status was eventually lifted and the investigation was shelved in 2008, but the couple remained under suspicion in Portugal for years. Months after Scotland Yard launched its own investigation, Operation Grange, into Madeleine’s disappearance in 2013, Portuguese police confirmed that a review of their original inquiry had uncovered new lines of inquiry, and they reopened the case.
The officers also gave their support to the German authorities who believe their prime suspect, 46-year-old German national Christian Brueckner, a convicted sex offender, kidnapped and murdered the youngster.
