To: Coordinator of the Criminal
Investigation
From: Joao Carlos, Inspector
Concerning the investigation of the
disappearance of the British minor,
Madeleine McCann, I present you Sir
with the following:
On the 19th of October, we were
contacted by the Commissary General,
located in Madrid, by the Chief of
the Kidnapping Unit, Alberto Carbas,
who passed to us the information
that the McCann family had
contracted a Spanish company known
as 'METODO 3', composed of
Spanish private detectives. This
business, or in other words, the
costs of the activities of this
business were being covered by a
Scottish multi-millionaire whose
name is BRIAN KENNEDY and
whose objective was to locate the
British minor.
With this information, we were asked
if we were available and interested
in meeting with a representative of
this Spanish business, and also with
the Commissary General and Chief of
the Kidnapping Unit of the Police of
our neighbouring country, whose
operation is in Madrid.
The meeting had as its objective to
receive on behalf of the private
detectives, from that moment and for
their own wishes, relevant
information with the aim to
ascertain the truth, and to state
that they would not interfere in
police work, and at most they would
serve as a complement to some useful
information. They firmly state that
they are not working directly for
the McCann family, but for Brian
Kennedy and that their sole purpose
is to locate the missing child, or
to gather the inescapable truth of
what happened.
They did not ask for any information
regarding the investigation, nor was
any offered to them, for obvious
reasons as this is found
incorporated in the Portuguese penal
process.
On the 13th of the current year, in
the presence of the signatory and
inspectors Paulo Ferreira and
Ricardo Paiva, a meeting was held,
in this department, with Brian
Kennedy, the director of the
detective company, Francisco Marco
and an advisor of this same company,
Antonio Jimenez, ex-chief of the
Kidnapping Unit of Catalan. From the
beginning, Brian Kennedy was
questioned, and ascertained that the
meeting only had this scope--of
transmitting that his objective in
all of this was purely charitable in
that he is interested [in helping to
stop] the bad treatment of minors
and in missing children. He affirmed
that he only was interested in
discovering the truth and nothing
more even if the McCann family, the
friends, or any other person is
found to be involved in the
disappearance.
During the course of this meeting,
the director of METODO 3 gave us a
small book (attached), with
information relative to the
disappearance of the minor. This
information, as we were told, was
received via telephone and that they
had already opened a line in Spain,
specifically to receive and deal
with information.
In this book, written in Spanish, we
can analyse three pieces of
information:
1. In the first case, we observed
that there was report of facts which
occurred in August/September of
2006, and which appears to us
somewhat extemporaneous, as it
cannot now be related to the
material under investigation.
2. In the second point, we should
remember that the computers of
Sergey Malinka were searched and
that nothing of suspicion was found
there or related to paedophilia.
3. In that which concerns the third
point, we are currently carrying out
diligences with the intent to
confirm or disprove the related
information.
With nothing more to report.
Joao Carlos, Inspector
