The News of the World

One of the first Portuguese cops at the scene the night Madeleine McCann vanished is under investigation after £100,000 appeared in his bank account days after she went missing. He has been suspended while senior detectives probe his finances. Kate and Gerry McCann are aware of the new turn of events. Suspicions were raised after a corruption inquiry uncovered 12 large cash amounts being paid into two accounts under the cop's name. The payments began shortly after Madeleine disappeared from Praia da Luz on May 3, 2007. The cop claims his name was used to open accounts without his knowledge. The corruption probe began into alleged criminal and drugs offences by Algarve police. Kate McCann last night attacked convicted paedophile Raymond Hewlett for refusing to talk to investigators because they were unwilling to pay. He denies any connection with Madeleine.

Madeleine McCann suspect Raymond Hewlett is today sensationally back in the frame after being caught lying.

A source close to the investigation said: "This could be very significant."

(Blogger Note: Source for information Peter Verran. The blue van was the only vehicle Hewlett owned at the time Madeleine disappeared, and it was home to himself, 6 children and his wife.)
