On 16 May 2007, it was reported that two cars used by the Murats had been examined, and computers, mobile phones and several video tapes were taken away from their villa[25] and it was claimed that, on examination, several links to paedophile websites were found on the computers and that some video tapes showed depraved sexual acts and bestiality[26] though nothing was found to directly link Murat to Madeleine's disappearance.[27] It also emerged that a British architect who built the villa where Murat lives was ignored when he called police about a hidden basement within the property.[28]The police were understood to have taken in for questioning Sergey Malinka, 22, a man of Russian origin, from whose property officers also took away a laptop computer and two hard drives. Malinka had set up a website for Murat.[29] According to the Portuguese media, Malinka is said to be a convicted child sexual offender and a computer technician who is believed to be on good terms with Robert Murat, as the two exchanged frequent phone calls since Madeleine's disappearance—the reason the authorities started suspecting him.[30][31]
