Portuguese police have launched a review of the Madeleine McCann case four years after the investigation was formally shelved.

A team of detectives based in Oporto in northern Portugal has been appointed to re-examine the original investigation into the little girl's disappearance from the Algarve in 2007, the Portuguese newspaper Jornal de Noticias reported.
Scotland Yard officers have been carrying out their own review since last May.
It is understood that the team from Portugal's investigative Policia Judiciaria (PJ), headed by senior officer Helena Monteiro, has been looking at the Madeleine case for some weeks now.

The McCann's Portuguese lawyer Rogerio Alves said he believes the review of the case was sparked by a fresh information.
He told the Daily Mirror: "It's not certain, but what's happening at the moment is that some of the information passed to the authorities could lead to a reopening of the case.
