Pictures of men seen in and around the Portuguese town of Praia da Luz at the time of Madeleine McCann's disappearance are to be released by British detectives.

 
A number of e-fits are to be shown in tomorrow night's episode of BBC Crimewatch in a bid to identify the men and eliminate innocent sightings, Scotland Yard said.
 
A short clip has been released ahead of the broadcast showing a reconstructed scene of Madeleine's parents Kate and Gerry playing tennis.

I think it is absolutely disgusting for photos of the men seen in the area to be released so long after the disappearance, as doing so serves only to cast aspersions and demonise those pictured. All the leads were followed up countless years ago and the case has received an obscene amount of international attention, all but precluding the notion that this is a sincere campaign for more information. No good can come from releasing these photos and doing so will certainly harm the interests of those pictured, especially when there is no evidence of any wrongdoing on their part.

 

Madeleine McCann went missing over six years ago because her parents neglected her and left her alone while on holiday. The parents are nothing more than publicity ######, manipulating the media and continuing this charade long beyond what is reasonable or decent. The tragic disappearance of this girl has been turned into a sick pantomime.

 

I am appalled at the UK media?in particular the gutter journalism of The Sun, The Daily Mail and The Mirror?for dedicating so much time to the disappearance of this one child in such a cynical and self-serving manner.

What is the purpose of the reconstructed scene. Well they reconstruct them going out for dinner and leaving their children alone so they can have a night out. Despicable people, that, if they were anything other than white middle class, would have had their other children taken off them and be charged with neglect.

This little girl is gone, it's a tragic thing, but they are at fault entirely and they should cease being made out to be victims

Why Men ? as if Women aren't also likely to have kidnapped her.

 

then again, I still find it ridiculous the parents are still pulling off this hoax so long after, they've already gotten away with it. 

Not to sound harsh but its bin 6 years, whatever happened to her shes gone... if she was kidnapped shed look totally different to how she was and also probably young enough to "overwrite" her previous identity and give her a new name etc that she'll accept and act out as if it was her real name. If shed died by whatever means theyve hidden her body pretty well and will most likely never be found so may as well just let it go, digging up the past isnt good for anyone

I'm sick and tired of these McCanns.  They're nothing more than publicity seekers trying to profit from this situation and I'm amazed at the continued media attention they get considering that they're the ones who are responsible for the disappearance of their child.  It's illegal to leave a child under 14 unattended in the UK and they should be subject to that law despite the fact that they were abroad.

    • The data center gold rush has tossed all forms of sensibility and reasoning right out of the window. The craziest part being that AI infrastructure isn't driven by consumer demand. It's being driven by manufacturers to force AI onto the market, consumers be damned.

    • EU says AWS and Microsoft Azure should be treated as DMA gatekeepers by Pradeep Viswanathan Under the European Commission's Digital Markets Act (DMA), a company is presumed to be a gatekeeper if it meets certain quantitative thresholds. However, the Commission can still investigate and designate a company even if it does not meet the numeric thresholds, provided the service has a major market impact. The European Commission launched its investigations into AWS and Azure on November 18, 2025, to address unfair or anti-competitive practices in the cloud sector. Today, the European Commission has informed Amazon and Microsoft of its preliminary view that their cloud computing services, AWS and Azure, should be designated as gatekeepers under the DMA. The EC highlighted that Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft Azure are the largest and second-largest cloud computing services in the European Union. Both of these platforms act as important gateways between businesses and their customers in the EU. The EC further mentioned that AWS and Azure have reached significant turnover, built large and entrenched user bases, and benefit from high switching costs and customer lock-in. Furthermore, their operational capacity and investments appear to have outpaced those of competitors. Teresa Ribera, Executive Vice-President for Clean, Just and Competitive Transition, said the following: It is important to note that the findings are preliminary and do not decide the final outcome. Amazon and Microsoft can now review the findings and respond to the Commission. However, if the Commission confirms its preliminary findings, it will formally designate Amazon and Microsoft as gatekeepers for AWS and Azure. Once designated, Microsoft and Amazon will have six months to bring their cloud services into full compliance with the DMA’s rules and regulations.
