Tapas 7 to be quizzed soon

Cops plan to re-question the Tapas Seven within days in a bid to break their “pact of silence”, it was reported yesterday.

Senior Portuguese detectives and a state prosecutor are preparing the legal paperwork needed to travel to the UK.

They will sit alongside British police as they quiz the pals who dined with Gerry and Kate McCann the night Madeleine vanished, said the Portuguese newspaper Jornal de Noticias.

The Portuguese police will focus on “certain contradictions” in the friends’ original statements.

Officers are reported to believe a “pact of silence” has prevented them from fully reconstructing events. And they consider the pals “fundamental” to the case. (The Sun)
