MADELEINE MCCANN – DÚVIDAS SOBRE A CONDIÇÃO HUMANA NA ERA DAS GLOBALIZAÇÕES

CONTINUA NAS PRIMEIRAS PÁGINAS E CONTINUA UM GRANDE MISTÉRIO




O regresso a Nietzsche parece inevitável para tentar compreender o que já foi divulgado sobre o Caso Madeleine McCann. Ora, o que está em causa é a vida ou a morte muito antes do tempo de uma criança de 4 anos, saudável. Não propriamente o regresso à faceta de Nietzsche que sustentou o nacional-socialismo, mas ao Nietzsche que pretende explicar as profundezas realistas da condição humana, nomeadamente em «Para Além do Bem e do Mal».



Este caso questiona a essência da Condição Humana. Tudo tem sido posto em causa desde os pais de Madeleine, mais ainda a mãe do que o pai, até à honorabilidade da Justiça em Portugal, isto é, até ao conceito Estado de Direito, que tem por obrigação descobrir a verdade, seja uma verdade cor-de-rosa seja uma verdade cruel.





E agora um olhar pelos jornais ingleses:





« McCanns: Maddie case is flawed

By ONLINE REPORTER
September 17, 2007

KATE and Gerry McCann are hoping they can prove the police case against them is flawed after the removal of a cloak of secrecy shrouding the Madeleine investigation.
And fresh reports today suggest Kate will be questioned by British police on behalf of Portuguese officers.
The judge in the case, Pedro Daniel dos Anjos Frias, rejected prosecutors’ request to have the McCanns brought back to Portugal for further questioning, according to the Correio da Manha.
So British cops are believed to be the ones who will quiz Maddie's mum despite the McCann’s lawyers issued a statement saying they had received no request for new questioning “to date”.
Meanwhile the official police spokesman in the Madeleine McCann inquiry has reportedly resigned.
Chief Inspector Olegario Sousa is said to have quit in disgust at the way the missing girl's parents have been treated.
Tycoon Sir Richard Branson said today he would be donating £100,000 to the McCanns’ legal costs because he “trusted them implicitly” and wanted to ensure they had a fair trial if they were brought before a Portuguese court.
Sir Richard, who has spoken to the parents of missing Madeleine McCann on several occasions, said: “I wouldn’t have got involved if I didn’t feel good about them.
“I trust them implicitly and I can’t think of anyone I know who’s had a worse time.”
Explaining his decision, the entrepreneur and social campaigner, said: “I think they need proper representation and support.
“I want to make sure they have the chance for their side of the story to be fairly told if they ever go to court, particularly in Portugal where they’ve already been tried by innuendo in the media.
It has also been reported that the couple have been reassured they would not loose the twin following a visit from social workers last week.
A spokesman for the family said: "The family pro-actively went to social services to make sure they were being seen as responsible parents. Social services have contacted the family since then and said it went very well."
Asked whether the children are now safe from being taken away, she said simply: "It is no longer a threat."
The pair — both declared official suspects by cops probing their daughter’s disappearance in May — are banned by the Portugal's rules from talking in public about the case.
Now Pedro Daniel dos Anjos Frias has taken the highly unusual step of applying for strict “secret justice” laws to be lifted.
The move comes amid a more general overhaul of Portugal’s legal system due today.
And it could allow the McCanns to speak and access thousands of papers they would not have otherwise seen, likely to include blood and DNA results.
Sources close to the couple believe the move will expose police evidence — including sniffer dog and DNA discoveries — as nonsense.
One said yesterday: “Any so-called evidence the police think they have against Kate and Gerry can be utterly explained.
“There are wholly innocent reasons for everything that the police may have found which gives them cause for suspicion.
“Kate and Gerry have absolutely nothing to hide. The more transparent and public the case, the better for all concerned.”
Meanwhile McCann sources revealed the only evidence put to the 39-year-old doctors in two days of questioning in Portimao related to British sniffer dogs.
Kate was asked why a trained Springer Spaniel picked up the “scent of death” in the couple’s hire car and Praia da Luz holiday apartment, from which little Maddie disappeared days before her fourth birthday.
Kate’s legal team concluded the scent may have come from her contact with corpses while working as a GP. The McCanns aim to cite an ongoing US murder case to defeat the “ Cadaver Dog” findings.
A judge in the Wisconsin trial of accused wife killer Eugene Zapata ruled such evidence inadmissible, calling it as reliable as “the flip of a coin”. Checks on three dogs found they were wrong up to 78 per cent of the time. The McCann source said: “Dog evidence clearly could not be relied upon in that case and may well be equally unreliable in Portugal.”


McCann insiders also said yesterday that neither Kate nor Gerry, who also have two-year-old twins, were asked about alleged discoveries of Madeleine’s hair and DNA traces during police questioning.
But the DNA evidence is useless in any case — according to new leaks from Portuguese police.
Experts confided it was impossible to match the samples to vanished Maddie as the hair roots were missing. Sources also revealed hair strands were found in the rear seats of the hired Renault Scenic — not the boot as leaked by cops.
They are also not 100 per cent matched to Madeleine’s hair and could have come from the McCanns’ twins Sean and Amelie.
Experts at the Forensic Science Service in Birmingham found the samples so poor they could not test for a DNA match to anyone.
A source said: “They were only asked to try to determine sex and age. It was simply not possible to determine whether the hairs belonged to Madeleine.”
Police were reportedly working on the theory that the tot was killed — possibly by an accidental sedatives overdose — and her body hidden then moved by car.
Judge Pedro Anjos Frias has now formally requested permission to speak about the case from the country’s Superior Magistrates Council. But the move is seen as a last-gasp bid by cops to restore credibility of their case.
Portugal’s legal system is in the process of a more general overhaul, lifting the veil on documents now available only to cops.
The McCanns, who last week returned home to Rothley, Leics, have insisted they are entirely innocent over Maddie’s disappearance — and have said they believe she is still alive.
New guidelines may also stop Portuguese police tapping the telephones of the couple and their confidants. Gerry reportedly told friends: “The police are listening to every word we say.”
Portuguese police want to stage a reconstruction of the day Maddie vanished and were last night considering a search for her body near a Catholic shrine.
Amid wild speculation, sources said officers think her deeply religious parents may have buried her at Fatima, central Portugal.
In addition to his donation, Sir Richard Branson urged pals to chip in to top up the McCanns’ legal fighting fund to £1million. A spokesman said: “He wants to give them a chance of a fair hearing.”
The couple plan to spend £80,000 from the Find Madeleine fund on a press, posters and TV campaign appealing for more information on her whereabouts.
Waiters at the restaurant where Kate and Gerry were eating the night Maddie disappeared called Gerry “the perfect dad”.
One said: “He was always giving her hugs. Gerry spent 80 per cent of his time with her while the mum tried to feed the twins.”
He said he saw Gerry hours later after Maddie vanished. He added: “He was desperate. He was crying and screaming out her name over and over again.” »

« Kate McCann: My struggle to control 'very difficult' Madeleine
Last updated at 19:06pm on 17th September 2007

Kate McCann has revealed that she struggled to control Madeleine McCann after the birth of her and Gerry's twins, it was revealed today.
Missing Madeleine would run around 'screaming...shouting for my attention', the mother-of-three said.
In an interview given to a Portuguese magazine before she was named as a suspect in the case of the four-year-old's disappearance, Kate also said the first six months of Madeleine's life were "very difficult" and that the girl had suffered from colic.

The revelations come as police said they were trawling through Kate's medical records amid suspicions in Portugal that she may have had a history of depression.
The detailed analysis of her medical notes could provide them with significant evidence against the GP, who is a suspect in the case of Madeleine's disappearance.
Speaking about Madeleine's upbringing, Kate, a 39-year-old GP, told Portugal's Flash! magazine: "She cried practically for 18 hours a day. I had to permanently carry her around."

This period explained "the strong bond between mother and daughter", she said.
Although the arrival of the twins Sean and Amelie shook up Madeleine's life, she accepted them very well, said Kate.
"She managed to deal perfectly with this new reality, although she herself at the time was still a baby.
"The worst thing is that she started to demand lots of attention, especially when I was breast-feeding them.

"She would run up and down screaming in the background, shouting for my attention."
Mrs McCann also insisted that she and her husband were "truly responsible parents" and had committed no crime.
Speaking of the night Madeleine disappeared, she said: "I was sure immediately that she didn't walk out of that room. I never doubted that she had been taken by someone.
"I went through a phase of guilt for not knowing what happened to her. I blamed myself for thinking that the place was safe.
"But the certainty that we are truly responsible parents has helped me carry on.
"I know that what happened is not due to the fact of us leaving the children asleep. I know it happened under other circumstances."
Asked about whether she and her husband were responsible for their daughter's disappearance, she said: "It cannot be considered a crime. Someone committed one, but not us."
Portuguese newspapers continued to report today that Mrs McCann will be re-interviewed in the UK this week by British police on behalf of the Algarve authorities.
But a spokeswoman for the McCanns said the couple had to date received no request for new interrogation.
The judge in the case, Pedro Daniel dos Anjos Frias, rejected prosecutors' request to have the McCanns brought back to Portugal for further questioning, the Correio da Manha said.
He insisted that the fresh interviews should be carried out by British police in the UK, according to the paper.
The re-interviewing will only take place when further DNA testing in Birmingham is completed, either tomorrow or Wednesday.
A letter of appeal will be sent to Britain, setting out all the questions Portuguese detectives want to ask the couple, along with the evidence supporting their hypothesis, the Correio da Manha reported.
A source told the paper there was only a "very low" probability that Portuguese officers would be allowed to sit in on the interviews.
A McCann family spokeswoman said today: "We have been in touch with the lawyers to try and get a steer on what is in the Portuguese papers.
"They assure us we have had no request to date for any further questioning, either from the Portuguese police or in the UK."
She could not say whether the McCanns' legal team was expecting the couple to be re-interviewed.
Since Kate and Gerry McCann were named as official suspects last week, there have been suggestions in Portugal that Madeleine was given drugs on the night of her disappearance.
The accusations have been strenuously denied by the couple but have not been ruled out by police. Although the order to seize medical files came from the Portuguese authorities, the background searches are being carried out by Leicestershire police.
A copy of Mrs McCann's diary has also been seized by police, who are now waiting for permission from the judge to seize and dismantle the McCanns' hire car so they can search for "traces of skin".
It has been reported that DNA evidence with a match to Madeleine was found in the Renault Scenic 25 days after their daughter vanished.
Yesterday it emerged the McCanns are trying to knock down potential evidence retrieved after two British sniffer dogs, capable of detecting blood and human remains, were used in the investigation in August.
One of the dogs picked up a "scent of deathî on items ranging from Mrs McCann's clothes to Madeleine's favourite soft toy Cuddle Cat.
Leaked reports from the investigation have suggested that Madeleine's parents could have accidentally killed her and then disposed of her body using the car. Although they do not know the full details of the Portuguese prosecutors' case against them, the McCanns are concerned that it may rest on the dog's reaction.
The couple's legal team has now consulted the lawyers of an American man accused of murdering his estranged wife in a case where "cadaver dog" evidence was central. They want to highlight the judge's dismissal of such evidence in the high-profile Eugene Zapata murder trial in Madison, Wisconsin.
Mr Zapata's estranged wife, flight instructor Jeanette Zapata, was 37 when she vanished in October 1976 after seeing her three children off to school.
Her body has never been found. Detectives suspected Mr Zapata of involvement in her disappearance but did not charge him because of a lack of evidence.
Police decided to conduct new searches using cadaver dogs and Mr Zapata, 68, was charged with firstdegree murder last year after the dogs indicated that they had scented human remains in an underfloor crawl space at the former family home and other properties linked to him.
But the judge ruled that the dogs' ability to detect remains was too unreliable, noting that no remains had actually been found. »
