Robert Murat has thrown down the gauntlet to police challenging them to charge him or clear him over the disappearance of Madeleine McCann.
The challenge came as a legal deadline on the case loomed - tomorrow will mark eight months since the four-year-old vanished from her family's holiday apartment in the Algarve on May 3.
Under new Portuguese laws, official suspects have to be charged after eight months unless public prosecutors apply for an extension.
Murat's lawyer, Francisco Pagarete, said today it would be "cruel" of detectives to keep his client as a suspect any longer.
He said: "The truth is there are no grounds to maintain him as a suspect. It would be cruel if this situation was prolonged."
If they fail to clear him, under Portuguese law, they must charge him or reveal what evidence they have against the 34-year-old father.
Murat was declared an official suspect on May 14 and he has claimed that his life has been destroyed by the false allegations.
He has always vehemently denied any involvement in Madeleine's disappearance and has not had any contact with the Policia Judiciaria since August.
The father-of-one has been unable to work or even see his five-year-old daughter who lives with his ex-wife in Britain.
And Portugal's strict secrecy laws mean that the former estate agent, who was born in Britain but brought up in Portugal, is not even allowed to discuss the case.

Robert Murat is hoping to pocket £1million if he is formally cleared today over the disappearance of Madeleine McCann.

The Brit plans to sell his story, go on TV and write a book about his experience. Murat, 34, was named as a suspect 11 days after Madeleine vanished near his Portuguese home on May 3.

But after a legal deadline expired, he should learn today if police have decided to rule him out as a suspect.

Top PR guru Max Clifford speaks regularly with Murat and his family and has pledged to represent him if he is cleared. Mr Clifford, 64, said: "He has been attacked from all sides and not able to defend himself, thanks to Portuguese secrecy laws.

"When he’s declared innocent, I hope he can make enough money to compensate him for this nightmare and all the money he has lost from not being able to work."

Murat’s family, most of whom live near him in Portugal, are planning a party if he is officially cleared.

Madeleine, four, vanished from her family’s holiday apartment at Praia da Luz. Her parents Gerry and Kate McCann, both 39, were also named as suspects. They deny having anything to do with her disappearance.

A family who may have seen Madeleine McCann being abducted could provide vital evidence in the search for the missing four-year-old.

The group saw a man walking towards the beach in Praia da Luz while carrying a child at the time Madeleine vanished, exactly eight months ago.

Portuguese police have taken statements from the family, who live in Drogheda, Ireland.

Now detectives hired by Madeleine's parents want to speak to Martin Smith and his family. The Smiths were leaving Kelly's Bar just before 10pm when they saw a man carrying a child 500 yards from the McCanns' apartment.

AdvertisementKate McCann, 39, raised the alarm about her missing daughter at around 10pm.

The Smiths are thought to have described the man as white and 5ft 7in to 5ft 9in tall. His top clothing was obscured by the child. That description matches a suspect seen walking away from the apartment at about 9.15pm by Jane Tanner, a member of the "Tapas Seven" group of friends who were on holiday with the McCanns.

She saw a man carrying a child wearing pink pyjamas similar to those worn by Madeleine.

The McCanns' spokesman said yesterday: "Our detectives are being very methodical and I am quite sure that this family will be on their list."

The eight-month deadline means suspect Robert Murat, 34, hopes to be formally cleared today.

The secret file detailing the Portuguese police investigation into Madeleine McCann's disappearance is unlikely to be made public "for some time", a lawyer for the girl's parents said today.


It is understood the dossier could have been published yesterday under new Portuguese secrecy laws that can see court files reopened eight months after the start of an inquiry.

Madeleine vanished from her family's Praia da Luz holiday apartment on May 3 last year.

But lawyers acting on behalf of the formal suspects in the investigation -- the girl's parents, Gerry and Kate McCann, and British expat Robert Murat -- said the court file would not be made public today.

It is understood prosecutors need more time to make their case.

The publication of such a document can coincide with decisions on whether to prosecute suspects in an investigation, and today's legal milestone produced fresh speculation about the inquiry.

According to Portuguese newspaper Correio da Manha, detectives in the Algarve produced an interim report to coincide with the eight-month mark.

The report is said to name Mr and Mrs McCann, from Leicestershire, as prime suspects in their daughter's disappearance. But it is also said to include the possibility Madeleine, aged three at the time, was abducted.

The report was dismissed by the McCanns' advisers yesterday as "pure speculation".

Edward Smethurst, the lawyer conducting the McCanns' defence, said: "We have received no information to suggest that the court file is going to be opened today and indeed we believe it's likely that it will be some time before the court file is made available."

Police has new evidence against Madeleine's parents

Portuguese police are planning to visit Britain to seize Kate McCann's updated diary, it was claimed today.

They will arrive this month to interview Gerry and Kate McCann and the friends who dined with them on the night Madeleine disappeared.

Detectives have applied to examine the diary, which contains Mrs McCann's thoughts over the eight months since her daughter vanished in the Algarve.

Officers took it without Mrs McCann's permission in the summer, made a photocopy and then returned it. She has been updating it ever since.

Portuguese police, in a series of leaks in the summer, suggested the diary was important because it showed Mrs McCann's unbalanced state of mind - a claim dismissed as a smear.

Sources close to Kate and Gerry McCann, both doctors from Rothley in Leicestershire, point out the diary was only started after Madeleine vanished aged three from their holiday apartment in Praia da Luz and contains no relevant information to the inquiry.

Portuguese newspaper Correio da Manha claimed that letters requesting police seize the diary a second time would be handed in today at a court in Portimao and could be executed this month.

Police are also understood to have applied, as expected, to extend the judicial secrecy surrounding the case, preventing access to the inquiry to both the McCanns and Robert Murat, the only official suspects. All three deny any involvement in Madeleine's disappearance.

A source close to the McCanns said today: "If they want access to the updated diary, they can ask her for it but it is a matter for Kate to decide. It is very personal property."
