The Portuguese press say the police think that the McCann's may have used a trip to Huelva, which they consider as suspicious, to move the child's body.

Portuguese Judicial Police from Portimao are meeting with Spanish colleagues in the Spanish city of Huelva today, according to the Spanish agency Europa Press in order to verify the details of the trip to the city which the McCann parents made on August 3, three months after the disappearance of their daughter Madeleine McCann.

The trip was taken in the company of a ‘reduced number of journalists’ according to reports, but police note that there was a two hour period when the parents were alone. The journey was made in the Renault Scenic car which later was found to have DNA remains.

Police think the trip may have been linked to the disposal of the body of Madeleine, and note that businesses in Huelva were closed on the day because it was a local fiesta. They say they parents may have been visiting a previously made grave for the child.

The Portuguese police admit that the body could have been moved to somewhere close to Huelva, which is 50 kms over the border into Spain, according to the Portuguese newspaper ‘Correio da Manha’.

It comes as the Portuguese paper says the police have dismissed the reports that the child may have been kidnapped in some sort of revenge against the holiday complex Ocean Club, and they have added that the parents are ‘trying to distract and interrupt the investigation’.

Another Portuguese paper, ‘Diario de Noticias’, has reported today that the Judicial police in Portugal have accused the British police of showing favouritism to the McCann’s – ‘They investigate the rumours created by the McCann’s, forgetting that the couple are suspects in the death of their daughter’, is a reported quote from the case coordinator, Gonçalo Amaral.

He said example of this was an anonymous email sent to Prince Charles’s webpage, which accused an ex employee of the Ocean Club of having kidnapped the four year old in revenge for being sacked. This had, he is reported to have said ‘no credibility’ for the Portuguese police who consider that the McCann’s have started a campaign to discredit them.
