Process covers abduction, homicide, cadaver concealment and abandonment
PJ investigates four crimes in the Maddie case
Just like 24Horas had reported first hand, the McCann couple is being investigated over four crimes, but has not been accused yet
The Polícia Judiciária is investigating the possible occurrence of 4 crimes in the Maddie case, as revealed by a ruling from the Appeals Court in Évora, which was published, first hand, by 24Horas on Tuesday.
Yesterday, English newspaper "The Times" returned to the matter, even citing the document, to advance that Kate and Gerry McCann may be accused by the Public Ministry of the crime of exposure or abandonment of an underage person, which is punishable by the Penal Code with a prison sentence of 3 to 10 years.
According to the law, whoever endangers another person's life, "abandoning her in a defenceless manner, whenever the agent had the duty to guard, watch or assist her", may be committing this crime.
But as 24Horas had explained, this is only one of the investigation lines. The files that are being worked upon in the offices of the Public Ministry of the Council of Portimão, also investigate the abduction theory and the possibility of homicide and of the concealment of a cadaver.
First document that mentions two theories
This is the first official document that admits the existence of two investigation lines - abduction and homicide - and that "opens" the door to a possible accusation against the McCanns, even if definite conclusions about what happened in apartment 5A of the Ocean Club are not reached.
A possibility that the McCanns' spokesman, Clarence Mitchell, has already called "contradictory and inconsistent".
The intercalary report from the PJ about the disappearance of Madeleine reached the Public Ministry on the 11th of September last year. From that moment on, the process was accompanied by the general prosecutor of the District of Évora, Luís Bilro Verão, one of the Public Ministry's top officials.
Within the process, which remains under judicial secrecy until the 15th of August, three arguidos have been constituted: Kate and Gerry McCann and Robert Murat, an English citizen that resides in Praia da Luz, Lagos, in the Algarve.
Facts
MISTAKE. The abusive interpretation of the court ruling that was made by "The Times" is not the first serious mistake that the newspaper - that is seen as highly reputable - has made in the Maddie case. In the summer, it announced on its front cover that the blood residues that were found inside the McCanns' car were not from Maddie, but later on, it became known that they were.
