PJ will have to wait further for the report from Birmingham
DNA evidence will only arrive next week
The much-awaited DNA tests that may certify that Maddie was transported dead in the McCanns' car should only arrive in Portugal early next week, 24Horas could find out with a source at the Policia Judiciaria.
The final report from the Forensic Sciences Lab in Birmingham will come through diplomatic bag. First it will be sent to the Foreign Office and then to the Ministery of Justice, as a PJ source explained.
Only after these bureaucratic moves will the report reach the hands of the Judiciaria. But the PJ has already been informed, over the phone, about a part of the results and knows these to confirm the involvement of Kate and Gerry McCann in their daughter's disappearance.
Yesterday, 24Horas was surprised as several British newspapers - 'Daily Telegraph', 'The Sun', 'Daily Star' and 'Evening Standard' - published the following non-existing statement from 24Horas' Justice editor, Luis Fontes: "The story is absolutely true. Our sources are rock solid. If they think they can sue us, then go ahead".
This statement is completely false, as it was never made.
