TV chiefs in Portugal are
planning to make a
26-episode
series
about
Madeleine
McCann
It
has been written by policeman turned criminologist
Francisco Moita Flores,
who blames Kate and Gerry McCann for their daughter's
disappearance.
Last night a friend of the McCann's said: 'This is absolutely
disgusting.
'Not only are the people behind this cashing in on a poor little girl's disappearance, but it also looks like they are planning
to point the finger at her heartbroken parents.
'Any
TV
channel who buys it will be paying blood money for it.
'People should remember
Madeleine
is a real little girl and not some character from a soap
opera.
Her parents have real
feelings.
'They will support anything that helps find her ' but not
downmarket shows aimed at titillating entertainment.'
The
series,
based on the official investigation,
will start filming in Portugal shortly. Producers are hoping it
will be shown across Europe ' raising the prospect of it being
broadcast in Britain.
Flores has been an outspoken critic of the McCann's and their
seven holiday companions since
Madeleine
vanished from the Algarve resort of Praia da Luz last
May, shortly before her fourth birthday.
He claimed on his Portuguese true-crime
TV
show that the couple or one of their friends sneaked away
from a tapas bar to dispose of the child's body after she was
killed in her holiday apartment.
The McCann's, from Rothley, Leics, deny any involvement in
Madeleine's
disappearance and insist she was abducted.
Portuguese police files on the case will remain secret for a
further three months due to 'extraordinary complications'.
Official suspects Kate and Gerry McCann and Robert Murat must
now wait until April to see any evidence against them.
