Maddie case – No findings yet after search operation
26.05.2023
After the renewed search in the case of Madeleine "
Maddie" McCann, who disappeared in the south of Portugal 16 years ago, the responsible
public prosecutor's office in Braunschweig has expressed reluctance to publish possible investigation results. Prosecutor Christian Wolters told our newspaper on Friday that they would first "evaluate the action and then discuss the next steps" together with the officers of the
Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA). According to Wolters, the BKA employees are currently on their way back from Portugal.
Wolters could not yet say conclusively when the public would be informed. This also depends on the results, which have not yet been transmitted. It is possible that we will know more next Thursday, Wolters said. The
spokesman for the public prosecutor's office also left open whether anything usable was found at all.
The BKA also refrained from issuing an official announcement on Thursday on the question of whether clues could be found that could contribute to the clarification of the mysterious disappearance of the little British girl. The request of the German authority had led to the fact that the search had been restarted on Tuesday. According to official information, police officers from Portugal, Germany and Great Britain took part
in the action at a reservoir not far from the municipality of Silves.
Die Braunschweiger Staatsanwaltschaft will zusammen mit dem BKA die Ergebnisse aus Portugal auswerten. Das könne noch Tage dauern.

I think it would probably be worthwhile to wait until we are told officially if there are findings from the recent search or not.
