Authorities want to use social networks to try to reach the Portuguese and to obtain any relevant information about Madeleine's disappearance.

SY launched a site translated into Portuguse and intends to use the social network to try to reach the Portuguese and obtain any relevent information relating to Maddie's disappearance.

The internet page refers to the public appeal made today in order to identify the man allegedly responsible for the sexual assaults on British children, aged between 7 and 10, in a total of 12 incidents with British families between 2004 and 2006, in the Algarve.

"We are directing the information to the communities affected as well as the Portuguese, which was clearly affected since the crimes occurred in the Algarve. For example, we are using means such as Facebook, in which we are able to promote our information and our appeals", he stated to Agência Lusa.

As well as English and Portuguese, the page (http://www.met.police.uk/madeleine-mccann-appeal/) is also translated in Dutch and German, the languages of the two main nationalities of the tourists who visit the south of Portugal.

"It is question of us being intelligent and using all of our means of communication so that our information reaches out as far as possible and, mainly, to get the replies we so much desire", he justifies.

This is a third public appeal made by the British police, the last of which, in October, was transmitted on British, German and Dutch television, generating over 5 thousand telephone calls, the information of which is still being analysed.

The British authorities still maintain a £ 20.000,-- (€ 24.000,--) reward to anyone who can provide information leading to the identification or the arrest and trial of the person responsible for the disappearance of Madeleine McCann on 3 May 2007.

The child who was 3 years old, was in the bedroom, where she was sleeping with her twin brother and sister, of the apartment in the Praia da Luz resort, in the Algarve.

Scotland Yard informed the PJ before launching their appeal

SY informed the PJ before launching their new appeal in the media to find the person responsible for a series of sexual assaults on children in the Algarve, the inspector Andy Redwood guaranteed.

"My colleague, Director Luís Mota Carmo, who works at the Faro delegation, understands perfectly the nature and scope of our investigation. I was in Portugal last Thursday, where I discussed our intentions in relation to this appeal made in the media. Everything we are doing is in total and open cooperation with our Portuguese colleagues", the detective affirmed.

Redwood, who heads the "Operation Grange" since 2011, the investigation of the British police in the disappearance of Madeleine McCann in 2007, says that he has travelled to Portugal 26 times for meetings on a "strategic and tactical level".

However, he confessed that he was "frustrated" with the slowness of the process of the analysis and approval of the rogatory letters for the British officers who accompany the Portuguese police in these actions.

"We work in a different way in the UK in terms of how the police act. It is only a difference. But the most important is that all of our lines of investigation are rooted in and directed to Portugal and that we understand and respect the differences in our systems, which means the the things advance at different speeds. There is a frustration on our part in regard to this aspect. If it had been with us and the crime had been committed in London, we would be able to go ahead at a different speed", he admitted to Lusa.

Andy Redwood confirmed that part of the 3 rogatory letters, sent to Portugal between October and February, are still with the Attorney General's office, which is responsible for analysing and approving the documents before passing them to PJ.
