Club doorman tells Spanish police he knows who snatched Madeleine McCann
 

NEWS REPORTS INDEX

THE OLIVE PRESS: SATURDAY 19 FEBRUARY 2011

EXCLUSIVE By Jon Clarke in Huelva

 

A NIGHTCLUB doorman has revealed to the Olive Press that he knows the key figures behind a paedophile gang that kidnapped missing Maddie McCann 

 

Marcelino Jorge Italiano, 36, has told Spanish police that a group of high-ranking lawyers, based in Faro and Albufeira on the Algarve, are linked to a paedophile ring that abducts children.

The Angolan, who worked in club security on the Algarve for ten years, claimed that he is 'terrified' for his safety after confronting the gang.

'I think there have been over a dozen children kidnapped,' he told the Olive Press.

'They prey on the weak and vulnerable.

'They are ruthless. I have been attacked twice for trying to investigate it and even lost my front tooth.'

The six foot four inch bouncer ' who has now fled across the border to Spain ' gave his dossier of information to the Policia Nacional in Huelva this week.

His lawyer, who was present during the hour-long interview, told the paper: 'He seems credible and believable and he does not trust the Portuguese police.

'He also seems pretty convinced that Maddie may have been taken from Portugal to the US.'
 

Italiano, a former semi-professional Basketball player, claims the key figures include two businessmen both based on the Algarve.

He insists that the group has high level contacts in Portugal's judiciary and links to a legal practice in London.
 

He told detectives that he got much of the information from the ex-wife of one of the businessmen and has photographs of the group.
 

'I know these people were involved and I have been told that Madeleine may now be in America,' he said. 'I can't say how, but I have known these people and believe they can get away with anything.'
 

In particular he wants to give the information to the family of Maddie, who went missing while on holiday in the Algarve in 2007.

A spokesman for the family Clarence Mitchell told the Olive Press: 'We are taking this seriously and want to talk to him.

'We are aware of one of the names mentioned and are already investigating.

'We plan to come over to talk to him.'

He confirmed that a possible link to the high-level 'Casa Pia' paedophile ring was not being discounted.

In September six men including a solicitor, a former ambassador and a TV presenter were jailed for sexually abusing 32 children living at Casa Pia homes across Portugal.

According to the main witness Pedro Namora, who is now a lawyer, there were many wealthy members on the Algarve and they regularly used houses down the

Why shouldn't we be expected to believe this '
We have been expected to believe that shutters had been forced, that Madeleine had been abducted, that Tanner had seen a faceless man going to the left, AND to the right, that Madeleine was taken to Barcelona on a hyper-fast yacht, and is at present in Australia, and simultaneously that she is in a hellish lair within 10 miles of PdL.
And that although she was taken to order by a pae*** ring, she has come to no harm.
All of this has been stated as incontrovertible fact by the McCanns themselves, or by their mouthpiece, or by their No 1 Private Detective.
In short we have been asked to believe ludicrous nonsense, but most importantly we have been exhorted to give generously to a fund which is supporting the family, and funding very expensive libel lawyers in their attempt to keep people from asking the important questions about what actually happened.
Strange that the list of 'sightings' and theories always coincides with another fund raising campaign. .
And how odd that he wants to give the information to the Private detectives, rather than the proper authorities.
I hope you got the opportunity to ask Mitche'' some penetrating questions when you spoke to him.

Any lead, no matter how tenuous, should be followed until it can be discounted. What else would any parent or any responsible member of society want' And what on earth would motivate people with no stake in this to dismiss a theory until it has been disproved' Someone did this and it should not be swept under the carpet and forgotten about until the guilty are exposed.

Ben 'Any lead, no matter how tenuous, should be followed until it can be discounted.

Indeed so. The main leads which should be followed up include an examination of why the parents repeatedly lied on the night they reported her missing, about the shutters, the window, the half hourly checks; why they lied about the blue tennis bag; why the creche records were forged; why both McCanns diligently erased their mobile phone memories so that no one now can trace who made the many text messages to Gerry the previous evening, and why he refuses to say where they were from; why Kate refused to assist the police; why they were so dismissive of the dog's alerting to human blood and cadaverine; and why, above all, they still insist that they KNOW that Madeleine was abducted, when there is not a shred of evidence which would lead anyone else to that conclusion.
Obviously they have to keep saying she is alive and well, even though they say at the same time she is in the hands of a pae**** ring, to allow money to flow in their direction, or the Fund would have been a massive fraud.

They can of course ask the Portuguese authorities to re-open the case at any time. But they are not doing. Why '
