Portuguese police have apologised to the parents of Madeleine McCann for the way detectives investigated the case and treated the family. The police delegation admitted that the initial investigation was mishandled and insufficient importance was given to missing children at the time.
Portuguese police have reportedly apologised to the parents of Madeleine McCann for the way detectives investigated the case and treated the family
According to BBC Panorama, a delegation of senior Portuguese police officers travelled from Lisbon to London earlier this year, where they met and apologised to Mr McCann. That status was eventually lifted and the investigation was shelved in 2008, but the couple remained under suspicion in Portugal for years.In 2012, Scotland Yard detectives said they believed Madeleine could still be alive, released an age-progression picture of how she might look as a nine-year-old, and called on the Portuguese authorities to reopen the case, but Portuguese police said they had found no new material.
