FFCinthearea Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 If they are swingers they probably want to keep that part of their life private, especially since they are 'good catholics' and respected members of the local community. If it is true then it would certainly explain a lot of the inaccuracies in their statements. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flogelsleftpeg Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 I think The portuguese polis should be laid off a bit, some people are making it sound like the good old blighty polis have never gotten anything wrong or accused the wrong person. We havent seen the evidence they have and there are 10 boxes of the stuff, maybe there is some really incriminating stuff in there, maybe one of the 7 friends cracked in questioning. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the British police were blundering around like the Portugese equivalent are then they would be taking pelters as well. They are fucking incompetant. If they had any evidence that was remotley liable to stand up in court then the McCanns or that other "suspect" geezer would have been charged. It`s obvious they have f**k all on anyone. Even this pish with the hire car DNA they have even managed to make a c**t of that too. The sooner they get on with finding the wee girl the better instead of floundering around in a sea of their own pish.

kiddy Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 Reynard, what makes you think the Portuguese Police aren't doing their job? Their countries laws stop them from discussing the case. Any leaks, stories, inacuracies and half truths eminating in this sad case are coming, through the British media, directly from the McCann's and their friends/family. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The portuguese system is the same as the one here, namely the police do the investigation and then pass their file on to the equivalent of the PF for a decision on prosecution. That is the current situation. I have heard the file is at least 1,000 pages (one report said 4,000 pages). I doubt that there is nothing in there, whether it incriminates the McCanns is another story, though I do wonder why the McCann's still have their hire car and are keeping it in a "safe place". Surely the police should have seized that as evidence? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely the police should have seized that as evidence? You would have thought so. In the meantime I guess we have to wait and see what happens next. From what is public knowledge at the moment their is zero chance of a conviction. It won`t even get as far as court. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely the police should have seized that as evidence? So do I. One difference between the two systems is that their Police aren't allowed to talk to the press. Ours would be on the TV giving progress reports. That might make it seem like the Portuguese are doing nothing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FFCinthearea Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 Why did they form a limited company to handle the donated cash and not a charity? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philpy Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 (edited) Why did they form a limited company to handle the donated cash and not a charity? So they can use the money for legal fees if needed. Edited September 13, 2007 by philpy 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FFCinthearea Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 It's interesting to note that they started the cash appeal 6 days after Maddie went a.w.o.l. That was very quick. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Dufresne Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 Legal fees. Nope they are not using them for legal fees,Also 2 of the directors of the limited company are 2 family members. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seamus Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 (edited) They are inquiring if the cash can be used as legal fees . Which is wrong if they do IMO. Edited September 13, 2007 by seamus 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reynard Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 Why did they form a limited company to handle the donated cash and not a charity? They tried to register it as a charity but it didn`t fulfil charitable criteria. A limited company will pay a lesser rate of tax. A charity would have paid fook all tax. I suppose it was the next best thing to get value for money for people who had donated. Plus it ensures that all money being donated will be accounted for. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FFCinthearea Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 They haven't spent any money looking for Maddie yet, which considering their criticism of the Police is surprising. You'd have thought that they'd have hired a couple of P.I.'s. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
