The American ambassador was informed by his British counterpart in September 2007 that the British police helped "develop evidence" against the parents of Madeleine McCann while being investigated by Portuguese police as formal suspects in the disappearance of her daughter.
The meeting between U.S. Ambassador Al Hoffman and the British ambassador, Alexander Wykeham Ellis came two weeks after Kate and Gerry McCann were named arguidos, or suspects, by Portuguese police. The McCanns have said there was "no evidence whatsoever that those involved in the disappearance of Madeleine."
A diplomatic cable marked confidential, the American ambassador reported: "Without going into details about the case, Ellis admitted that British police had developed the current evidence against the McCanns and stressed that the authorities of both countries were working together. "
attributed to the ambassador's comments appear to contradict the widespread perception at the time that Portuguese investigators were the driving force behind the treatment of the McCanns as suspects in the case .
Disclosure comes as the founder of Wikileaks back to court in an attempt to get bail following his arrest last week at the request of the Swedish authorities who want to interview him about allegations of sexual assault. A number of cables released by the Web site shed new light on aspects of the economic crisis. The disclosures include:
• RBS Chairman, Sir Philip Hampton said the bank's board had violated their "fiduciary responsibilities" to allow absorption of Dutch bank ABN
Love • Governor Bank of England, Mervyn King, was so concerned about the health of banks secretly proposed an international fund to recapitalize six months before the collapse of Lehman Brothers.
• American officials expressed doubts in October 2008 on whether Ireland appreciated in perspective the problems faced by their banks.
In one of two cables that made mention of the McCann case, the U.S. ambassador says: "The disappearance of Madeleine McCann in southern Portugal in May 2007 has generated international media attention controversy surrounding research directed by Portuguese police and acts of the parents of Madeleine. "
informed his British counterpart that he thought "that was expected media frenzy and was acceptable as long as government officials keep their comments in private."
was not until July 21, 2008 that the Portuguese authorities shelved their investigation and lift the status of arguing about the McCanns. Responding to the content of cable, a spokesman for the McCann told the Guardian: "This is a completely historical note is more than three years. Subsequently, the status was raised to argue about Kate and Gerry McCann, the Portuguese authorities leaving perfectly clear that there was absolutely no evidence that those involved in the disappearance of Madeleine .
"Today, they continue to work tirelessly in pursuit of his daughter, cooperating when necessary to both the Portuguese authorities and the British."
British authorities had participated substantially in the investigation launched after the disappearance of Madeleine in May 2007 from a holiday apartment where the McCanns had left their three children in bed before joining friends at a nearby restaurant in the Algarve village of Praia da Luz. At least a dog dancefloor Britain was used in the investigation, reportedly said that smell corpse found in the apartment .
In 2008, when a dossier detailing the Portuguese police investigation was made public, it emerged that British scientists warned DNA tests on samples from the McCanns hire car were inconclusive days before that were made arguidos. It is known that the Forensic Science Service (FSS) analyzed samples sent to England by Portuguese police. A spokesman for Leicestershire police said that their involvement in research limited to coordinate research in the United Kingdom on behalf of the Portuguese authorities.
