Report via Fax to PJ Portimao of the interpreters indicated above with address and phone number.

Summon them by the quickest means for their statement of compromise.

Ask the PJ to provide via Fax the names, addresses, phone numbers of the interpreters mentioned on the previous page.

Afterwards contact them for their statement of compromise in this Court within a maximum delay of 46 hours, according to article 91, number 2 of the CPP:

The present case files begin with the news of the disappearance of Madeleine McCann, born on 12-05-2003, female sex, white daughter of Gerald Patrick McCann and Kate Marie Healy.

The disappearance occurred on 03-05-2007 from a ground floor apartment of the Ocean Club in Praia da Luz between 21.30 and 22.00.

As it is relevant to discovering the whereabouts of the child, I authorise and request the GNI to divulge the identification of the girl in order to establish her whereabouts, this should be done by means of a yellow alert.

Please copy this communication to the PJ.

Organise the translation of these files.

Make a copy of the present files, with a copy of everything that has been processed, as quickly as possible and deliver it to the hand of the Public Prosecutor.

Subject: Information about Interpreters


This letter is to inform you that, within the framework of the investigation mentioned above, Sra Alice Dias Homem de Gouvela Avakoff from Lagos will be named as interpreter/translator.

I also inform you that Sra Silvia Cristina Morgado Vicente from Lagoa is also an habitual interpreter for our services, but given the urgency of this case we have not yet been able to contact her to find out whether she is available.

We request you to inform us the correct names and addresses (and telephone numbers) of the various interpreters who have already intervened in the case, a list of names is attached so that our services can obtain a statement of compromise from them.

With compliments,

The Deputy Prosecutor

Subject: Naming of Interpreter

I hereby communicate to you that there is a need to question Kate McCann, British citizen, within the framework of the investigation mentioned above. Therefore, as she is a foreign citizen, who does not speak Portuguese, the legal necessity for naming an interpreter exits.

She herself has proposed A***** D****** S****** R****** with offices in Portimao.

Upon this basis, I propose that you proceed to name the latter.


With best compliments,

The coordinator of the Criminal Investigation
