has reported that Portuguese detectives travelled to Britain earlier this year, where the McCann’s live, to make the apology to the family in person.
Portuguese authorities released the McCann’s from suspicion in 2008. However, a former detective in the case continued to suggest the McCann’s were involved in the disappearance. A German prosecutor on the case, Hans Christian Wolters, said the apology was a “good sign” as it meant there was a “development in the case”.
