Clarence Mitchell tipped off the McCanns to Portuguese police monitoring


Clarence Mitchell tipped off the McCanns to Portuguese police monitoring

I have just spoken to my contact in Portugal and he states categorically, that it was not the British police who tipped off the McCanns but it was instead Clarence Mitchell, who basically told them to "shut the fuck up" as they were being monitored.

Given that he was at the time working for the British government he should face criminal prosecution. It might also give credence to the rumour in media circles that he did not resign but was subjected to instant dismissal.

Could this be Clarence Mitchell who is the source? "A source close to the couple said: “British police warned Kate and Gerry when they were in Portugal that their phones and emails might have been tapped into". And, if so, why is he trying to discredit the British police?

Over to you Clarence, try spinning your way out of that one!

UPDATE: As the Portuguese police were monitoring the McCanns prior to Clarence Mitchell becoming involved, the likelihood is that they obtained certain confidential information. The likelihood is that the McCanns were questioned in the light of this information. As we know, the McCanns chose not to answer some of the questions, those of a more damning nature. We also know that the Portuguese police complained of British government interference. Given what we now know of Clarence Mitchell's overstepping the line, this complaint would appear to be justified. Interfering with the due process of law is called perverting the course of justice.

I feel that this not only requires Clarence Mitchell to explain his conduct, but also that the British government should make a statement in relation to the matter. Perhaps, an official apology to the State of Portugal would be appropriate?

UPDATE: Channel 4 News tonight:

1. The McCanns have to apply to the PJ to disclose all the evidence they have against them.

2. Simon Israel questioned Clarence Mitchell, however, he refused to answer how and where and when the McCanns first became aware that they were being bugged by the Portuguese police. All Tapas 9 were being bugged plus the McCanns PR representative.

It's good to see when a tragedy occurs, the parents can count on people as Clarence Mitchelll, important scientists and magnates to help a simple couple that lost their daughter. All the aid is necessary, and if another tragedy to happen any English father and mother will be able to always count on assisting to the highest level, OR NOT.

Its also interesting to know that in the same week that Maddie disappeared, over 1000 children vanished across Europe.
Where is the high level help for them, where is the Government involvement, where is money, the trust funds, the media attention.

No, follow the masonic links and the money.

There is something about this that stinks.

This photograph is wonderful; how can two innocent people look so shifty ?

Gerry & Kate are looking more shifty by the day and Gerry appears to be getting smaller ! weird ! question I keep asking myself is this : why did the McCanns hire a car on 25/5 - they didnt need one when they arrived in Portugal obviously - and who had access to the car whilst they went to meet the Pope a few days later ? is that when Maddy's body was disposed of ? and is that why the McCanns needed to meet the pope ? for 'forgiveness' in their own way - Im convinced at least one more family member/friend is somehow involved in this .

That's not Gerry in the photo - it's Trevor from EastEnders. He's got the accent spot on too, and facial fungi. The ladies (except me) all loved Trev, so the Mitchell boy (Clarence, that is) probably told him to look scruffy as a dog's $%£^ on the grounds the ladies will like it.

If you've got nothing to hide,
you don't mind having your phone and e-mails tapped in to!

Especially if it could help bring your daughter back!

John: have you circulated this nice piece of info?

judith: I have put it up on the Daily Mirror forum, other that that I have not circulated. But, when I posted it last night I was receiving over 100 hits an hour reading it. So, word should have gone around by now.

I would also like to know who the anonymous McCann backer is...the one who is paying Mitchell's salary whilst he is working for the McCanns. If he is so sure tha that they are innocent why is he not being open about revealing himself? Or is he just hedging his bets?

You may like to take this up! Phil is now showing all email addresses on her petition - this is a gross invasion of privacy. Nowhere on the petition is there the facility to check a box saying "show your email address/ don't show your email address"
She does not allow comments to be published so early on those leaving critisisms found only their name was showing (which made them appear a supporter) but now she is showing all email addresses so the legitimate people giving their personal email address have it visible to the WWW

Sorry to post this here but I can't contact you direct.

I certainly hope he has either been ousted from or has sacrificed his civil service career. The alternative doesn't bear thinking about, although at this stage would hardly be a major surprise.

"but was subjected to instant dismissal."
It's certainly an odd career move for a senior civil servant.

What are they looking at in that picture? It looks almost as though a small child is hiding behind Clarence Mitchell. Or he just farted perhaps.

What a load of crap. Those two and that selfish money grabber Mitchell are a waste of space.

There are millions of people suffering all over this crazy planet. F$@k them, Follow the McCanns!!

They call themselves true catholics, that figures. Let them speak to God and ask him where she is and save all the rest of us from the depths of hell.

Oh has anyone noticed that Cuddle-cat has gone? Wonder why.
