Witness Statement
Date: 27/06/2007
Antonio Toscano Marquez
Nationality: Spanish
Occupation: Journalist
He comes to the process as a witness
and being of Spanish nationality and
not speaking the Portuguese
language, he is helped by an
interpreter.
He is an investigative journalist
but not linked to any newspaper.
As regards the disappearance of
Madeleine he would like to clarify
that a week after the events at
about 15.30 (Spanish time) he was
contacted by an individual whom he
only knows by the name of Federico,
who told him that he suspected a
Frenchman called or nicknamed
Bernard Alapetite. This French
individual had been in Seville and
later left for the Algarve, one week
before the disappearance, and that
is the reason for his suspicion. He
does not know how (Federico) got the
information.
He says that he never contacted
Federico personally, just by
telephone, the latter having
contacted him by telephone, on the
number mentioned above, from an
unidentified number, which only
happened once. The latter did not
explain any more to him, and that is
why he does not know for a fact
whether the information is true. He
says that Federico obtained his
telephone number from the Valencia
office of "El Mundo" newspaper, by
means of an employee called
G******** R****.
That he found this information to be
important because of the fact that
he knew that Bernard Alapetite was
linked to the paedophile world,
because the witness once infiltrated
the paedophile network to which (Alapetite)
belongs.
He states that Bernard Alapetite is
a paedophile as he himself has been
involved in two operations to
dismantle paedophile networks
carried out in France and in Spain.
During the first operation, (Alapetite)
had not been accused of being
involved in the process, but that he
frequented a bar where the police
operation called "Arny" was carried
out in 1995, in Seville. In France
the operation was called "Toro Bravo
– Ado 71" and was carried out in the
French city of Macon on the French
eastern coast and in Bogota,
Colombia where there was a producer
of paedophile type films. This
operation was carried out in 1997,
Bernard Alapetite having been
condemned to a year in prison.
He also says that since February of
this year nobody knows the
whereabouts of Alapetite, this
information was obtained from
informants he knows.
But he says that Alapetite was in
Portugal in 2005, at the Algarve
film festival, as a producer of
films with homosexual themes.
When questioned he says that
Alapetite travels in many European
countries and also travelled to the
UK a couple of years ago.
He was also seen in the city of
Castellon, to the north of Valencia.
He cannot say whether this
individual is in possession of the
minor, but that he has the profile
to commit these acts.
He does not know the French man's
current whereabouts nor does he know
how to locate the informant
Federico.
He says no more. Reads, ratifies and
signs.
