Madeleine McCann Cops To Question Robert Murat

A British man who was questioned over the disappearance of Madeleine McCann seven years ago is to be interviewed by Portuguese police in Faro.

Robert Murat was first questioned shortly after the child was reported missing by her parents in May 2007.

He was due to be interviewed on Wednesday but police ran out of time and he will now be questioned on Friday.

Eleven people are being interviewed this week over Madeleine's disappearance as it is thought they may have information relating to the case.

Portuguese police are carrying out the questioning and are being observed by their British counterparts who have returned to the Algarve.

Britain opened an investigation in July last year, nearly five years after local police closed their investigation.

UK officers searched three areas of land in the resort of Praia da Luz in June, close to where Madeleine disappeared, but found no new evidence.

The three-year-old went missing from her holiday apartment on 3 May 2007 while her parents were having dinner at a nearby tapas restaurant with friends.
