Madeleine McCann 'was snatched by paedophile ring to order'
British police were told that Madeleine McCann was snatched by an international paedophile ring which photographed her three days before she vanished, police files have disclosed.
This is
the full email sent by an intelligence officer on the Met's vice squad
on March 4 this year to counterparts in the Portuguese and
Leicestershire police
According to an email sent by the Metropolitan
Police a child abduction ring based in Belgium placed an order for a
"young girl".
Three-year-old Madeleine was spotted while on holiday in Portugal by someone connected to the gang who took a picture of her.
The photograph was sent back to Belgium where the paedophile ring agreed that she should be abducted, the email states.
Three days later on May 3rd last year Madeleine was
taken from her family's holiday apartment in Praia da Luz in the
Algarve while her parents ate at a nearby restaurant.
The astonishing revelation supports Kate and Gerry
McCann's long-held theory that their eldest child may have been taken
by a child smuggling ring.
The email, sent by an intelligence officer on the
Met's vice squad on March 4 this year to counterparts in the Portuguese
and Leicestershire police, marks a significant development in the case
of the missing girl.
Just last month Portuguese police closed their
investigation and cleared the McCanns of any involvement in their
daughter's disappearance.
The email was revealed for the first time in police files made public this week.
The Met Police were tipped by an anonymous source, the files showed.
Met officer John Shord wrote the email to
Leicestershire Police on March 4 which was passed on to Operation Task
%uFFFD the British end of the investigation into Madeleine McCann.
It said: "Intelligence suggests that a paedophile
ring in Belgium made an order for a young girl three days before
Madeleine McCann was taken.
"Somebody connected to this group saw Maddie, took
a photograph of her and sent it to Belgium. The purchaser agreed that
the girl was suitable and Maddie was taken."
DC John Hughes, from Leicestershire Police,
forwarded the email to the Policia Judiciaria (PJ) at Portimao in the
Algarve on April 21, the files showed.
