Dear Ms Ferreira
Request for mutual legal assistance relating to the
disappearance of Madeleine McCann
I am writing further to my letter dated 5th March 2008 and your
letters dated 14th and 27th March concerning your request for
banking evidence relating to Gerald McCann.
In my letter dated 5th March 2008, I asked for clarification of
the basis upon which you made the request for access to
transaction Mr McCann's Mastercard credit card accounts for a 6
month period. In your letter dated 14th March 2008 you explained
that the reason for the request was to enable the investigation
team to identify if there were any unknown motives behind the
disappearance of Madeleine or identify any individual or
individuals responsible for her disappearance. I remain
concerned about the basis upon which you seek evidence relating
to 6 months transactions, beginning 1st April 2007 (6 weeks
prior to Madeleine's disappearance).
When officers from Leicestershire Constabulary met with the
Portuguese case team they were informed that the request for
banking evidence arose as a result of a reported sighting of Mr
McCann at a cash machine whilst talking on a mobile telephone,
following Madeleine's disappearance. The Portuguese team were
therefore concerned to ascertain whether the cash machine
transaction and the call were related and whether they linked to
Madeleine's disappearance.
As you know, in considering requests for coercive measures the
Secretary of State must consider necessity and proportionality.
On the basis of the information before me, the request for
evidence relating to Mr McCann's Mastercard accounts for a 6
month period or, at least in the first instance, refine your
request to a period immediately prior to and following the day
of the alleged sighting, I would be more than happy to look at
this part of the request again.
In the meantime, 4 tranches of evidence were sent to you via DHL
on 9th, 16th, 23rd and 28th may 2008 and I would be grateful if
you could confirm receipt.
I look forward to hearing from you
Yours sincerely

Your ref: N| 2640/2008
Date: 5th March 2008
Dear Ms Ferreira
Request for mutual legal assistance
relating to the disappearance of
Madeleine McCann
I am writing further to my emails in
early February 2008 in relation to the
request for assistance in this case. I
confirm that we have now received the
main request and the supplementary
request.
The Leicestershire Police have been
meeting with their Portuguese
counterparts this week to discuss a
number of operational matters which
required clarification and I await their
formal report. In the meantime, however,
there a number of matters which I hope
you can clarify for me to ensure that
the request for assistance is executed
as fully and as quickly as is possible.
The request asks for a number of
interviews to be conducted. I wondered
if you could clarify whether you require
these interviews to be conducted in any
particular way? The investigators would
like to record the interviews on video
but does Portuguese procedure require
the evidence in statement form? Does the
evidence need to be sworn at a court
hearing to comply with Portuguese law?
Where the request refers to statements
previously taken by the UK police, we
would propose sending you a copy of the
original statements, covered by a
statement from a police officer which
could be sworn before a court if you
require it. Would that work for you?
Main request
Page 41 ? we have concerns about the
approach to Brian Healy, Kate McCann?s
father and the suggested line of
questioning. As currently drafted, we do
not feel there is sufficient connection
between what is alleged and what is
being requested. Can you assist?
Page 57 XVIII ? the text refers to
document A as being attached but the
document attached is Document N| 1. I am
working on the basis that they are one
and the same but correct me if I am
wrong.
Page 58 XXI - please provide further
details justify this request, including
the date/s when the contact was made and
his telephone numbers. There is nothing
in the narrative in relation to Murat
other than that he has been named an
arguido. I have to consider issues of
proportionality in relation telephone
subscriber details before I can nominate
a court to hear this evidence.
Page 58 XXII ? please justify the
request by reference to what is being
alleged in relation to these cards.
Please explain why you are seeking
access to the transaction data for 6
months and why only these credit cards?
I have to consider issues or
proportionality in relation banking
information before I can nominate a
court to hear this evidence.
Can we please have copies of page
numbers 3593 and 3594 which are referred
to in the request but not attached.
Supplementary request
The supplementary request refers to a
number of individuals that
Leicestershire Police have no knowledge
of. However, I understand they hope to
clarify this with their Portuguese
counterparts.
In relation to the persons you wish to
be interviewed on pages 16 and 17 ?
Kennedy to Plummer ? you have not
enclosed the questions you wish to be
put. Can you please supply?
Once I have had a formal report from
Leicestershire Police, I may need to
come back to you with further questions
in relation to both of the requests but
wanted to make these points as quickly
as possible to try and reduce delay.
Yours sincerely
Frances Kennah
