Madeleine McCann: Police release e-fits of stranger seen lurking near Praia da Luz apartment
“The efits are clear and I would ask the public to look very carefully at them,” Redwood said. “If you know who this person is, please come forward”.
Two new witnesses say they saw the man in the Portuguese resort around the time the youngster, then aged three, went missing.
They have a face for their prime suspect – now Scotland Yard detectives need a name to go with it as they launch a new bid to solve the six-year riddle of Madeleine McCann’s disappearance.
Two e-fits of the mystery man were issued yesterday after two witnesses came forward to say that they saw him in the Portuguese resort of Praia da Luz around the time the youngster, then aged three, went missing.
Det Chief Inspector Andy Redwood, who is leading the re-opened hunt, said: “While this man may or may not be the key to unlocking this investigation, tracing and speaking to him is of vital importance to us.”
He added: “The e-fits are clear and I would ask the public to look very carefully at them and if they know who he is to please come forward.”
Well maybe he can’t come forward because he is not “he” but is “them”, take a good look at these two in the pic below, and draw your own conclusion.
Influential Brothers John and Tony Podesta, even Ten Years Later they still look eerily familiar.
What do you think, but I will warn you they just happen to be two of the most influential political lobbyists in Washington DC, with one of them given credit for the success of the Bill Clinton and Barak Obama Presidencies and now running Hillary Clinton’s Presidential campaign.
WOW just do not go there ok, so back to looking for him, the one guy that just happens to look like both of these brothers.
He has never been identified before because police believed Madeleine had gone missing at a slightly different time on May 3, 2007.
ALL THE POTENTIAL EVIDENTIAL LINKS
PODESTA BROTHERS, ANTHONY WEINER, and JEFFREY EPSTEIN’S GILFRIEND GHISLAINE MAXWELL, all appear to fit descriptions of suspicious characters provided by Witnesses
Could this Mystery Woman be Ghislaine Maxwell
DAILY MIRROR: “Maddie: Spain link is probed” May, 2008
“Private detectives hunting for Madeleine McCann believe she was snatched on the orders of a paedophile ring in Spain, it emerged yesterday”
It’s what Antonio Toscano told us about his “Frenchman”. Now Metodo 3 are journeying to Valencia and Alicante. No, not Morocco
The McCanns’ spokesman Clarence Mitchell, says: “A potential paedophile gang connection has been there since May 3. M3 are active in this area”
So nothing definite. Just potential

Could this be Anthony Weiner 10 years ago?
DAILY STAR: “MADDIE: NEW PERV HUNT”
Metodo 3 “are focusing on child sex rings in Valencia and Alicante, homes to thousands of foreign residents and destinations for millions of tourists every year”
Says Clarence Mitchell: “Any paedophilia connection in the region has been thoroughly examined and they are continuing to look at potential leads in those areas”

WATCH VIDEO OF LATEST CLAIMS
DCI Redwood has revealed that some accepted events around the disappearance are wrong and that the “timeline” was also incorrect.
For years it was thought that Madeleine was taken at about 9.15pm from her apartment 5a on the ground floor of the Ocean Club complex.
However, DCI Redwood said: “The timeline we have now established has given new significance to sightings and movements of people in and around Praia da Luz at the time of Madeleine’s disappearance.
“Our work to date has significantly changed the timeline and the accepted version of events that has been in the public domain to date.
“It has allowed us to work with Crimewatch to build the most detailed reconstruction as yet, and highlight very specific appeal points.
“I hope that when the public see our investigative strands drawn together within the overall context of that appeal, it will bring in new information that moves our investigation forward.”
A careful analysis of the timeline has been “absolutely key” to the process, he said, which has meant detectives concentrating on what exactly happened between 8.30pm and 10pm on the night.
Finding him has become one of the main priorities of the new investigation after detectives developed a far better understanding of the times when the abduction could have occurred.
An exact new timeline has not yet been revealed.
The images have been drawn up based on statements and descriptions from the witnesses.
They have told police they saw the man on the evening Madeleine vanished Det Ch Insp Redwood said: “This is far from our only line of inquiry and there will be e-fits released of other sightings as well, who we are equally keen to trace.
These people were seen on the day of Madeleine’s disappearance and the days leading up to it.”
He added that detectives have been able to “make massive steps forward” by drawing together all the material gathered to date and reviewing it as a whole.
DCI Redwood said: “We continue to put Madeleine at the heart of our investigation and I would urge people to watch Crimewatch tonight and if you can help identify this man or have any information about our new appeal points please contact us.
“Praia da Luz is a popular holiday destination for many nationalities so our requests for help need to be repeated in many different countries. I will be travelling to Holland, Germany and Ireland to seek the support of the public there.
“If you were in and around the Praia da Luz resort on Thursday May 3, 2007 but you have not yet spoken to police, and you think you may have information, please pass it on.
Paedophile ring took Madeleine McCann to America, bouncer claims
14th Oct 2011 12:00am | By TNT Today
Madeleine McCann was smuggled to America by a paedophile ring with connections in Britain, a club bouncer has claimed.
Madeleine McCann was smuggled to America by a paedophile ring with connections in Britain, a club bouncer has claimed.
Marcelino Italiano, who works in a nightclub in the Algarve has told police he knows the gang who abducted Madeleine McCann when she was three years old.
The Angolan bouncer said that the paedophile ring is run by high-profile Portuguese businessmen and lawyers, with international links. Madeleine is likely to have been smuggled America, he said.
According to Italiano, 36, a number of respected figures in the towns of Faro and Albufeira are secretly involved.
“I know these people were involved and I have been told that Madeleine McCann may now be in America.
“I can’t say how, but I have known these people and believe they can get away with anything,” Italiano told The Sun.
An artist’s impression of what Madeleine McCann might look like today.
He also alleges that the paedophile ring has targeted an Algarve orphanage.
“There have been over a dozen children kidnapped. They prey on the weak and vulnerable,” he told the Sun.
Italiano said that he’s been attacked by the gang several times for threatening to reveal the identity of its ringleader. He has now fled across the border into Spain, after giving his dossier of information on the gang to police on Monday.
“They are ruthless. I have been attacked twice for trying to investigate it and even lost my front tooth in one attack.”
The McCann family spokesman Clarence Mitchell, said: “As with all such investigations regarding Madeleine, this man has done the right thing by going to the Spanish police authorities.
“They will investigate it, as will the private investigators hired by the family.”
On May 3, 2007, Madeleine – then three years old – disappeared from her family’s holiday apartment in Praia da Luz, Portugal.
RECENT UPDATE:
Confirmed FBI Anon Information
One of our FBI insiders can confirmed the Intelligence community indicates John and Tony Podesta were in Praia da Luz, Portugal on May 3rd 2007– the day Madaline McCann vanished.
The Podesta brothers were staying with a friend named “Clem” . Clement Freud, the grandson of psychopathology sex expert Dr. Sigmund Freud, who was known to be a pedophile. This is a quote from our insider: “Of greater interest is that fact that Freud owned a villa in Praia da Luz.”
Now take a look once again at the first photo posted above with John Podesta, sitting with several others in what appears to be a family card game, with the girl to his right:
What are your thoughts? Could this be Madeleine McCann?
“I would also like to ask for the help of the local community in Praia da Luz. Portugal is a key country for us to trace any outstanding witnesses and our appeals will be repeated there.
“We still have a lot of material to investigate and much work to do. Your information could be the vital piece we need to finally answer what happened to Madeleine.”
A number of other e-fits are expected to be released by police later today in an effort to identify further potential suspects. They will reportedly include images of two German-speaking men.
In a clip from tonight’s Crimewatch, released by Scotland Yard, Madeleine’s mother Kate tells presenter Kirsty Young: “We’re not the ones that has done something wrong here. It’s the person who’s gone into that apartment and taken a little girl away from her family.”
The 25-minute appeal will feature “the most detailed reconstruction” of the case yet.
Two short clips have been released ahead of the broadcast. The first shows a reconstructed of Madeleine’s parents Kate and Gerry playing tennis at around 6pm on the day she vanished.
Madeleine, dressed in pink shorts, a light pink T-shirt and pink hat, then runs across the court, clutching a batch of tennis balls.
A second clip released today shows Kate and Gerry shutting the curtains and closing the sliding patio door of their apartment before joining their friends for dinner later that evening.
It was during this period that Madeleine vanished from her bed.
At 8.30pm Kate and Gerry went to the nearby Tapas bar for their dinner with seven holiday friends, leaving Madeleine, and twins Sean and Amelie, then 18 months, alone in the apartment.
Gerry returned at 9.15pm to see all three children asleep.
The McCanns’ friend Jane Tanner has said that at about 9.20pm she saw a man walking away from apartment 5a carrying a small child.
DCI Redwood said at 10pm Kate went to the apartment to find Madeleine was not there.
Police are believed to be focusing on the period between 8.30 and 9.15. They believe the kidnappers may have been lurking in or near the apartment as Gerry went in.
DCI Redwood said that police had sought to “try and draw everything back to zero… take everything back to the beginning and then re-analyse and reassess everything, accepting nothing”.
Earlier this month, police said phone records may be key to the case after it emerged officers were analysing data from phones belonging to people who were in Praia da Luz when Madeleine vanished.
Portuguese authorities dropped their investigation into the case in 2008, but Scotland Yard started a review in May 2011.
An incident room will be staffed during today’s appeal and the days that follow. Appeal films will also be shown in Holland and Germany.
A dedicated call centre will also be opened at Hendon, in north-west London.
Scotland Yard detectives have interviewed 442 people as part of their review-turned-investigation and hope to track down as many people present in the Portuguese town at the time.

Since launching its own investigation, 41 people of interest have been identified by the Metropolitan Police, including 15 UK nationals.
“The efits are clear and I would ask the public to look very carefully at them,” Redwood said. “If you know who this person is, please come forward”.
“Whilst this man may or may not be the key to unlocking this investigation, tracing and speaking to him is of vital importance to us. We have witnesses placing him in the resort area around the time of Madeleine’s disappearance.”
The significance of the man has come to light as detectives have analysed tens of thousands of documents from the original investigation and mobile phone footprints in the resort on the night the child went missing.
The inquiry is focusing on 41 suspects and requests for assistance have been issued to 30 countries in a bid to identify and eliminate these people, 15 of whom are British. Crimewatch will feature other efits of individuals that the police would also like to trace.
But it is this man in particular whom detectives are very keen on finding.
The man was described by the two witnesses as being inside the Ocean Club complex in Praia da Luz area on the evening that Madeleine went missing from the apartment.
He was described by the witnesses as white, aged between 20 and 40, with short brown hair, of medium build, medium height and clean shaven.
The McCanns’ friend, Jane Tanner has said that at about 9.15pm she saw a man carrying a small child, walking away from apartment 5a. That man has never been traced. At 10pm Redwood said Madeleine’s mother found the child gone when she checked the apartment.
By putting these 90 minutes under intense scrutiny, Redwood’s team have established new theories about the events and exactly when Madeleine was abducted.
“The timeline we have now established has given new significance to sightings and movements of people in and around Praia da Luz at the time of Madeleine’s disappearance.
“I hope that when the public sees our investigative strands drawn together within the overall context of that appeal, it will bring in new information that moves our investigation forward.”

WIKILEAKS: THE PODESTA EMAILS
Now that the FBI has obtained the needed warrant to start poring over the 650,000 or so emails uncovered in Anthony Weiner’s notebook, among which thousands of emails sent from Huma Abedin using Hillary Clinton’s personal server, moments ago the US Justice Department announced it is also joining the probe, and as AP reported moments ago, vowed to dedicate all needed resources to quickly review the over half a million emails in the Clinton case.
In the letter to Congress, the DOJ writes that it “will continue to work closely with the FBI and together, dedicate all necessary resources and take appropriate steps as expeditiously as possible,” assistant attorney General Peter J. Kadzik writes in letters to House and Senate lawmakers.
So far so good, even if one wonders just how active the DOJ will be in a case that has shown an unprecedented schism between the politically influenced Department of Justice and the FBI.
And yet, something felt odd about this.
Kadzik… Kadzik… where have we heard that name?
Oh yes.
Recall our post from last week,
“Clinton Campaign Chair Had Dinner With Top DOJ Official One Day After Hillary’s Benghazi Hearing“
in which we reported that John Podesta had dinner with one of the highest ranked DOJ officials the very day after Hillary Clinton’s Benghazi testimony?
It was Peter Kadzik.
In other words, the best friend of John Podesta, Clinton’s Campaign char, at the DOJ will be in charge of a probe that could potentially sink Hillary Clinton.
For those who missed it, this is what we reported previously:
The day after Hillary Clinton testified in front of the House Select Committee on Benghazi last October, John Podesta, Hillary’s campaign chairman met for dinner with a small group of well-connected friends, including Peter Kadzik, who is currently a top official at the US Justice Department serving as Assistant Attorney General for Legislative Affairs.
The post-Benghazi dinner was attended by Podesta, Kadzik, superlobbyist Vincent Roberti and other well-placed Beltway fixtures.
The first mention of personal contact between Podesta and Kadzik in the Wikileaks dump is in an Oct. 23, 2015 email sent out by Vincent Roberti, a lobbyist who is close to Podesta and his superlobbyist brother, Tony Podesta.
In it, Roberti refers to a dinner reservation at Posto, a Washington D.C. restaurant. The dinner was set for 7:30 that evening, just one day after Clinton gave 11 hours of testimony to the Benghazi Committee.
Podesta and Kadzik met several months later for dinner at Podesta’s home, another email shows. Another email sent on May 5, 2015, Kadzik’s son asked Podesta for a job on the Clinton campaign.
As the Daily Caller noted, the dinner arrangement “is just the latest example of an apparent conflict of interest between the Clinton campaign and the federal agency charged with investigating the former secretary of state’s email practices.”
As one former U.S. Attorney tells told the DC, the exchanges are another example of the Clinton campaign’s “cozy relationship” with the Obama Justice Department.
The hacked emails confirm that Podesta and Kadzik were in frequent contact.
In one email from January, Kadzik and Podesta, who were classmates at Georgetown Law School in the 1970s, discussed plans to celebrate Podesta’s birthday.
And in another sent last May, Kadzik’s son emailed Podesta asking for a job on the Clinton campaign.
“The political appointees in the Obama administration, especially in the Department of Justice, appear to be very partisan in nature and I don’t think had clean hands when it comes to the investigation of the private email server,” says Matthew Whitaker, the executive director of the Foundation for Accountability and Civic Trust, a government watchdog group.
“It’s the kind of thing the American people are frustrated about is that the politically powerful have insider access and have these kind of relationships that ultimately appear to always break to the benefit of Hillary Clinton,” he added, comparing the Podesta-Kadzik meetings to the revelation that Attorney General Loretta Lynch met in private with Bill Clinton at the airport in Phoenix days before the FBI and DOJ investigating Hillary Clinton.
Kadzik’s role at the DOJ, where he started in 2013, is particularly notable Kadzik, as helped spearhead the effort to nominate Lynch, who was heavily criticized for her secret meeting with the former president.
It gets better because, as we further revealed, if there is one person in the DOJ who is John Podesta’s, and thus the Clinton Foundation’s inside man, it is Peter Kadjik.
Kadzik represented Podesta during the Monica Lewinsky investigation. And in the waning days of the Bill Clinton administration, Kadzik lobbied Podesta on behalf of Marc Rich, the fugitive who Bill Clinton controversially pardoned on his last day in office.
That history is cited by Podesta in another email hacked from his Gmail account.
In a Sept. 2008 email, which the Washington Free Beacon flagged last week, Podesta emailed an Obama campaign official to recommend Kadzik for a supportive role in the campaign.
Podesta, who would later head up the Obama White House transition effort, wrote that Kadzik was a “fantastic lawyer” who “kept me out of jail.”

Russian Mafia money laundering, the Clinton Foundation and John Podesta
By Roger Stone
NEW YORK –
The attack on me by Clinton campaign Chief John Podesta is an attempt to deflect attention from his criminal activities in the former Soviet Union.Podesta is at the heart of a Russian-government money laundering operation that financially benefits Podesta personally and the Clintons through the Clinton Foundation.
To be clear, although I have had some back-channel communications with Wikileaks I had no advance notice about the hacking of Mr. Podesta nor I have I ever received documents or data from Wikileaks.
The charge that I am working for Russian intelligence or any Russian interest is also false. Don’t confuse me with John Podesta’s brother, Tony Podesta, who runs the firm that got $180,000 from Uranium One, the Russian government’s uranium company to which Hillary Clinton transferred 20 percent of U.S. uranium.
Just how much money did Viktor Vekselberg, a controversial Russian billionaire investor with ties to the Vladimir Putin and the Russian government, launder through Metcombank, a Russian regional bank owned 99.978 percent by Vekselberg, with the money transferred via Deutsche Bank and Trust Company Americas in New York City, with the money ending up in a private bank account in the Bank of America that is operated by the Clinton Foundation?
Wikileaks emails tie John Podesta, chairman of Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign, into the money-laundering network with the confirmation Podesta had exercised 75,000 shares out of 100,000 previously undisclosed stock options he was secretly issued by Joule Unlimited, a U.S. corporation that ties back to Vekselberg connected Joule Global Stichting in the Netherlands – a shady entity identified in the Panama Papers as an offshore money-laundering client of the notorious Panamanian law firm Mossack Fonseca.
As a clear indication of guilty conscience, the Wikileaks Podesta file further documents that Podesta made a serious effort to keep the transaction from coming to light as evidenced by his decision to transfer 75,000 common shares of Joule Unlimited to Leonidio LLC, another shady shell corporation – this one listed in Salt Lake City at the home apartment of the gentlemen who registered the company.
Further research has documented that Viktor Vekselberg arranged for two transfers of unknown amounts to a private Clinton Foundation account in the Bank of America, with the funds passing though a pass-through account at Deutsche Bank and Trust Company Americas in New York City – with the first transfer made on Feb. 10, 2015, and the second on March 15, 2016.
Neither transaction shows up in any Clinton Foundation press releases or publicly disclosed financial statements.
Further research is that Viktor Vekselberg, in true Russian Mafia fashion, also owned Skolkovo, the Russian foundation set up to be a Silicon Valley counterpart Russia, designed to be Russia’s major player in the “reset” technology transfer scheme engineered by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in 2011.
Millions skimmed off Skolkovo in Russia
Russian news reports have documented that all Skolkovo Foundation money was deposited in Viktor Vekselberg’s Metcombank.
“Metcombank was the only commercial bank willing to accept the Foundation’s liquid assets in a bank account with the ability to immediately withdraw them without receiving a fine and with interest at a rate higher than the market average,” the Skolkovo Foundation http://rbth.com/news/2013/03/01/skolkovo_explains_why_it_deposited_money_in_metcombank_23414.html said in statement made public in 2013.
That same year, Russian investigators analyzing Federal Security Service, FSB, data in Russia determined the Skolkovo Fund misappropriated 3.5 billion rubles (approximately $55 million) allotted from the Russian government’s budget for the Skolkovo technology cluster’s development – a sum that was documented to have disappeared after it was deposited with Metcombank.
In reporting the disappearance of these funds, the Russian media reported Cyprus-based Winterlux Ltd. holds nearly 100 percent in Metcombank registered in Kamensk-Uralsky, the Sverdlovsk region, and Winterlux is controlled by Vekselberg through a chain of other companies including Mendo Portfolio, Renova Industries, and Renova Holding – confirming that Vekselberg is the primary beneficiary of a chain of offshore corporations involved in international money laundering that stretch from Cyprus to the Bahamas, ending up in the British Virgin Islands.
It turns out http://www.ewdn.com/2013/03/04/skolkovo-s-top-executives-threatened-by-criminal-investigation/ that of the 31.6 billion rubles (approximately $1 billion) the Skolkovo Foundation received from the state budget from 2010 through October 2012, just 18.9 billion, or less than 60 percent, was actually spent.
Predictably, the Skolkovo Foundation, http://sk.ru/news/b/pressreleases/archive/2013/02/28/informacionnoe-soobschenie-fonda-skolkovo.aspx in an official statement, denied any wrongdoing, arguing that once Russian government budget funds are transferred to the Foundation, they can no longer be considered as budget means, such that the funds can be used in any way the Foundation deems legitimate, according to Russia’s budget code.
“Among the offers made [to the Skolkovo Foundation] by several banks, Metcombank’s terms were just unprecedented,” Skolkov Foundation’s Vice President for External Communications Alexander Chernov elaborated in an exchange with Kommersant, a nationally distributed newspaper published in Russia, dealing mainly with business and politics.
Metcombank provided a 5.65 percent interest rate when the average market average was around 4 percent. This permitted Chernov to argue as follows:
“The extra-high rate allowed the Skolkovo Foundation to earn around 80 million rubles ($2.6 million) in interest, so what violations are we talking about?”
In April 2013, Russian government authorities raided Skolkovo, arresting executive Aleksey Belyukov for graft, in a move that clearly looked like a scapegoat had been found, https://www.rt.com/politics/vice-president-sacked-graft-932/ allowing the Skolkovo Foundation and Metcombank to continue their serendipitous relationship.
To date, the Russian government has not given an accounting what happened to the missing funds supposedly once deposited in the Skolkovo Foundation’s account at Metcombank
A Johnny Chung replay?
Between 1994 and 1996, Johnny Chung was a major player in Washington political finance and a star guest of the Bill Clinton White House, as a result of his donating some $366,000 to the Democratic National Committee, until it became public knowledge Chung’s funds traced back to military intelligence sources in the Chinese government.
What is suspicious about the Vekselberg connections to the Clintons and Podesta is not only Vekselberg’s generous donations to the Clinton Foundation but also his close ties to Russian military intelligence.
“Skolkovo’s link to the Russian military-intelligence apparatus is not in dispute,” noted the Government Accountability Institute’s http://www.g-a-i.org/u/2016/08/Report-Skolkvovo-08012016.pdfreport entitled
“From Russia With Money: Hillary Clinton, the Russian Reset, and Cronyism,” issued in August this year.
The Government Accountability Institute report continued:
The U.S. Army Foreign Military Studies Program at Fort Leavenworth issued a report in 2013 (written in 2012) about the security implications of Skolkovo.
The report declared that the purpose of Skolkovo was to serve as a “vehicle for worldwide technology transfer to Russia in the areas of information technology, biomedicine, energy, satellite and space technology, and nuclear technology.”
Of course, technology can have multiple uses—both civilian and military. And the report noted that “the Skolkovo Foundation has, in fact, been involved in defense-related activities since December 2011, when it approved the first weapons-related project—the development of a hypersonic cruise missile engine.
Security expert and former National Security Analyst Agency analyst John R. Schindler picked up the themehttp://observer.com/2016/08/hillarys-secret-kremlin-connection-is-quickly-unraveling/ in an article published in the Observer on Aug. 25, 2016, entitled “Hillary’s Secret kremlin Connection is Quickly Unraveling.”
“Schweizer shows that John Podesta sat on the board of a Dutch-registered company that took $35 million from the Kremlin [Joule, the same company from which Podesta got the undisclosed stock options],” Schindler wrote. “The company was a transparent Russian front, and how much Podesta was compensated—and for what—is unclear. In addition, Podesta failed to disclose his position on that board to the Federal government, as required by law.”
Schindler next turned his attention to Secretary of State Clinton.
“Even worse is how Clinton, Inc. profited from the Russian ‘reset’ that was one of the big achievements of Hillary’s tenure at Foggy Bottom,” Schindler continued. “Never mind that the reset was a disaster, culminating in Kremlin aggression against Ukraine.
Hillary’s signature program at the State Department ended in unambiguous failure. Yet Clinton, Inc. did very well out of the temporary warming of relations with Moscow.”
Peter Schweizer, in his bestselling book entitled “Clinton Cash,” noted that of the 28 U.S., European, and Russian companies that participated in Skolkovo, 17 of them were Clinton Foundation donors or had hired former President Clinton to give speeches, concluding that Skolkovo benefactors ended up giving Clinton, Inc. somewhere between $6.5 million and $23.5 million – a figure that is indeterminate, and could yet be higher, because the Clinton Foundation has yet to reveal all its donors.
Finally, Schindler agreed Skolkovo was merely an extension of Russia’s military intelligence network.
“Therefore, it’s no surprise that Western intelligence considers Skolkovo to be an extension of Russia’s military-industrial complex—and its intelligence services,” Schindler wrote.
“A July 2013 unclassified studyby U.S. European Command that surveyed Skolkovo activities http://fmso.leavenworth.army.mil/Collaboration/COCOM/EUCOM/Skolkovo.pdfsuggested, in delicate language, that Russia’s Silicon Valley is ‘an overt alternative to clandestine industrial espionage,’” Schindler noted. “Stealing the West’s hi-tech secrets has long been a Kremlin forte, and Skolkovo is merely the newest effort to purloin our advanced technology.”
