(speaking on the possible crimes which the disappearance of the child may fall under)
“The statute of limitations expires after 15 years. The sentence in any of the possible cases (referring to kidnapping and/or homicide) is of more than ten years so the statute of limitations expires after 15 years. If the official suspect development hadn’t happened now, tomorrow would be 15 years of the facts – on the 3rd May 2007 – and on Wednesday the criminal proceeding would have expired.”

“As this was interrupted following the new official suspect announcement, this interrupts the expiry process and when the expiry process is interrupted it can go in this case up to 22 years and half, it can even go to 23 or even 26 and a half. It is what may happen depending on the development of the case.”

“Eventually, as Germany and Portugal are part of the Convention on European warrants, it is possible if necessary that Portuguese authorities request to German authorities for the individual to come to Portugal for the necessary proceedings that require his presence and then he can return to Germany to fulfil his time in prison and he could always return to Portugal as necessary.”

STORYLINE:
It has been fifteen years since the disappearance of Madeleine McCann in southern Portugal and the case remains unsolved.
The three-year-old was on holiday with her parents in a resort in the Algarve when she vanished from her room.
Several lines of investigation have been conducted through the years with few results.
In recent weeks, Portuguese prosecutors announced they were formally accusing a new official suspect in the investigation into the disappearance of the British toddler.
