"POLICE CONTROLE TRAFIC TELEPHONIQUE"

"Tout le trafic téléphonique enregistre entre 20h00 et 21h00, le 3 mai, a proximité du complexe touristique Ocean Club, d’ou a été enlevée Madeleine McCann est vérifiée en détail par la Police Judiciaire portugaise. La PJ, qui compte avec l’aide de spécialistes britanniques, prétend ainsi identifier touts les téléphones portables, et leurs respectives propriétaires, présents la nuit de la disparition."

All telephone traffic registered between 20.00 and 21.00, on the 3rd of May, in the vicinity of the tourist complex, the Ocean Club, from where Madeleine McCann was abducted, is verified in detail by the Portuguese Judicial Police. The PJ, who count on the help of British specialists, claim thus to identify all mobile phones, and their respective owners, present on the night of the disappearance.

"Cette recherche est “comparable a la recherche d’une aguille dans une botte de foin”, affirme une source proche des autorités. Mais, avec les nouvelles technologies, on peut déjà localiser et identifier un portable même quand il est éteint, ce que nous aide à identifier les communications effectués dans la région au moment de l’enlèvement."

"This search is like looking for a needle in a haystack," states a source close to the authorities. But with the new technologies, it is already possible to locate and identify a mobile even when it is switched off, that helps us to identify communications in the area at the time of the abduction.

"Cette même localisation a été effectué aux portables de Robert Murat (dans la photo en haut à gauche), le seule inculpe dans ce dossier, et de Sergey Malinka (photo de doite), son ami russe, mais rien d’important est ressortie. La localisation a été effectué avec le système de traceback que permet de savoir d’ou les appels avec un portable on été effectués (quand on fait un appel on utilise l’antenne la plus proche). Malinka, le russe, ne se trouvait pas, à ce moment, dans les environs de l’endroit d’ou Madeleine a été enlevée."

The same localisation has been used for Robert Murat's mobile (in the photo above left), the only suspect in the case, and that of Sergey Malinka (photo on the right) his Russian friend, but nothing of significance emerged. The localisation was done with the traceback system, which allows the user to know where calls from a mobile were made from. (When a call is made the nearest antenna is used), Malinka, the Russina was not, at that time, in the vicinity of the place from which Madeleine was abducted.

"Pour rappel, Robert Murat a loué une voiture le samedi ou Madeleine a célébrée son anniversaire, pour la rendre le lendemain des recherches à sa maison. A la société de location il a dit avoir prêté sa propre voiture à des volontaires dans les recherches de la petite. On ne sait pas vers quel destination il s’est absente mais, avec la localisation d’appels la police cherche aussi à le savoir."

As a reminder, Robert Murat rented a car on the Saturday of Madeleine's birthday, to keep it the day after the searches at his house. At the leasing company he said that he had loaned his own car to volunteers in the search for the little girl. Nobody knows where he went but, with the localisation of calls, the police are seeking also to know this.

(There are several more paragraphs in this bog post. One is about the police monitoring maritime traffic from Algarve ports and nothing unusual being discovered. The only unknown was a Dutch boat, which arrived two days before Madeleine disappeared and left early on the evening of May 3rd. Another paragraph is about renewed interest in micro chipping children, an idea put forward after the murders of Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman. There is also mention of a report in The Sun, that a source close to the investigation had informed The Sun that links to pornographic sites had been found on robert Murat's computer. )

"Voiture de Malinka incendié"

"Sergey Malinka, l’informaticien russe que la Police Judiciaire avait entendu comme témoin dans les jours qui ont suivi la disparition de Madeleine McCann, à vu sa voiture incendié et le mot "fala" - parle, en portugais – écrit en rouge à coté de son Audi A4.

Ami de Robert Murat, le russe voit l’incident comme un acte d’intimidation même s’il affirme ne pas savoir ce qu’ont voudrais qu’il dise."

Sergey Malinka, the Russian computer expert whom the PJ heard as a witness in the days following Madeleine McCann's disappearance, saw his car burned out and the word, "fala," - talk -, in Portuguese - written in red by the side of his Audi A4.

Friend of Robert Murat, the Russian views the incident as an act of intimidation even if he claims that he does not know what someone would like him to say.

"Qui a écrit cela ? Qu’est-ce qu'exactement veulent-ils que je dise?"

"Malinka a été entendu une nouvelle fois par la Police Judiciaire à qui il a dit ne pas connaître la raison qui aurait poussé quelqu’un à vouloir l’intimider dans l’enquête Madeleine, ou le jeune russe est cité comme témoin.

L’incendie de l’Audi A4 de Sergey Malinka aurait commencé vers quatre heures de matin, à quelques dizaines de mètres de la maison du russe, et serait d’origine criminelle, comme indiquent les premiers éléments du dossier d’enquête de la PJ."

"Who wrote that? What exactly do they want me to say?"

Malinka was heard again by the PJ to whom he said that he did not know the reason that could have pushed someone to want to intimidate him in the Madeleine enquiry, in which the Russian is cited as a witness.

The burning of Sergey Malinka's Audi A4 started around four in the morning, a few dozen metres from the Russian's house, and would be criminal in origin, as indicated by the first details of the PJ's enquiry file.

"Des méthodes criminelles"

"L’incendie de la voiture de Sergey Malinka et les mouchards GPS sous les voitures de Robert Murat et Michaela Walczuch sont pris très au sérieux par la Police Judiciaire qu’y voit des méthodes criminelles et à ouvert deux enquêtes parallèles au dossier Madeleine McCann.

Ce n’est pas la premiére fois que les inspecteurs ont connaissance de l’existence de pressions, intimidations et menaces à l’encontre de plusieurs témoins."

Criminal methods.

The burning of Sergey Malinka's car and the GPS tracking devices under Robert Murat's and Michaela Walczuch's cars are being taken very seriously by the PJ, who see criminal methods there and have opened two parallel investigations on the Madeleine McCann file.

This is not the first time that the inspectors have known the existence of pressure, intimidation and threats against several witnesses.

"Les journalistes ne sont pas exception et divers professionnels ont été la cible de méthodes similaires.

Selon une source de la police, les mouchards GPS placés sous les voitures de Robert Murat et de Michaela Walczuch, n’ont pas été placées par aucun service ou departement des autorités portugaises et les appareils ont été achetés au départ de l’Espagne."

Journalists are not an exception and various professionals have have been the target of similar methods.

According to a police source, the GPS tracking devices placed under the cars of Robert Murat and Michaela Walczuch were not placed by any service or department of the Portuguese authorities and the equipment was bought somewhere in Spain.

"La voiture de Malinka incendiée" A côté des ruines encore fumante de la voiture de Sergey malinka, sur le trottoir, en lettres rouges bien visible, écrit le mot "FALA" (PARLE). C'est dans la nuit de jeudi, vers 04h00 du matin, que l'Audi A4 de l'informaticien russe a été entièrement détruite par les flammes. "Je ne comprends pas le sens du message. Je ne veux plus être ennuyé avec l'affaire Madeleine. Je veux qu'on me laisse en paix. Je vais à l'église, je paye mes impôts, je n'ai pas mérité cela" à déclaré Malinka. Il a également ajouté: "Je suis convaincu qu'il s'agit d'un avertissement qui a à voir avec l'affaire Maddie. Mais je n'ai rien à dire et je ne sais rien"

Malinka's burnt out car.

On the pavement, beside the still smoking ruins of Sergey Malinka's car, in clearly visible red letters, is written the word, "FALA," (SPEAK) It was towards 4am in the morning, during Thursday night, that the Russian computer expert's Audi A4 was totally destroyed by flames. "I don't understand the meaning of the message. I don't want to be bothered any more with the Madeleine case. I want to be left in peace. I go to church, I pay my taxes, I have not deserved this." stated Malinka. He also added: "I am convinced that this is a warning which has to do with the Maddie case. But I have nothing to say and I know nothing."

"Malinka, qui dormait à environs 50 mètres du lieu de l'incendie, dans son appartement qu'il partage avec ses parents, n'a rien entendu et a seulement été au courant au moment de son réveil. Un autre véhicule, une Opel Zafira, aurait également été atteinte par les flammes. "J'étais en train de dormir quand j'ai entendu une explosion. J'étais paniqué et je suis allé voir ce qui se passait. La voiture brûlait et les pompiers ainsi que la GNR étaient déjà sur place. Ensuite, la PJ est arrivée et avec l'aide des pompiers ont effacé le mot "FALA" du trottoir" a déclaré un riverain. Une autre voisine, Jennifer a déclaré: "Je ne savais pas ce qui se passait. J'ai pensé à un groupe de délinquants en train de casser toutes les voitures de la rue mais les autorités m'ont dit d'être tranquille, qu'il s'agissait d'un attentat dirigé contre une seule personne mais ils ne m'ont pas dit qui."

Malinka, who was sleeping about 50 metres from the scene of the fire, in his apartment which he shares with his parents, heard nothing and was only aware of it when he woke up. Another vehicle, an Opel Fafira, was also affected by the flames. "I was asleep when I heard an explosion. I was panicked and I went to see what was happening. The car was burning and the firemen as well as the GNR were already there. Then the PJ arrived and with the help of the firemen they removed the word, "FALA," from the pavement." stated one riverside resident. Another neighbour, Jennifer, stated: "I did not know what was happening. I thought of a group of young offenders in the process of damaging the cars in the street, but the authorities told me to calm down, that it was an attack directed at one person, but they did not tell me who."

"Pas de liens avec l'affaire McCann ?! La PJ a déjà admise qu'il s'agit bien d'un incendie d'origine criminelle. Cette dernière a précisé que, face à l'hypothèse que Sergey Malinka soit soupçonné dans l'affaire Maddie, le russe a été entendu seulement comme victime dans une nouvelle affaire, celle de l'incendie de sa voiture. La même source, selon la presse portugaise, a souligné qu'initialement, Malinka avait été entendu comme témoin dans l'affaire McCann parce qu'il avait créé le site Romingen (La société de Murat et de Michaela Walczuch). Notons, toutefois, qu'en l'espace d'un an, c'est le deuxième véhicule de Sergey Malinka qui brûle dans les environs de son domicile à Praia de Luz."

No links with the McCann case?!

The PJ has already admitted that the fire has a criminal origin. They pointed out that rather than the theory that Malinka was a suspect in the Maddie case, the Russian was understood only as a victim in a new case, that of the torching of his car. The same source, according to the Portuguese press, stressed that initially Malinka was heard as a witness in the McCann case because he built the web site Romigen. (Murat and Michaela Walczuch's company) We note, however, that in the space of a year, this is Sergey Malinka's second vehicle which has burnt in the vicinity of his home in Praia da Luz.

"Car belonging to Madeleine case witness destroyed in blast."

A CAR belonging to Russian computer expert Sergei Malinka, who has been questioned by police as part of the Madeleine McCann investigation, was destroyed in an explosion in the early hours of this morning (Thursday, March 20) in Praia da Luz.

The incident is said to have taken place at around 5am next to his apartment, where the word “fala” (talk) had been written on the pavement next to the car.

Witnesses told The Resident that two cars were involved in the blast and maintain that one belonged to Malinka.

Police first interviewed Malinka on May 16, 2007, around two weeks after Madeleine McCann went missing.

Police searched the home of the IT expert, who designed a website for Robert Murat and was seen talking to Murat several times in the days after Madeleine’s disappearance. He was adamant that he was interviewed as a witness, not a suspect.

He has lived in Praia da Luz for around seven years and has always maintained he had nothing to do with Madeleine’s disappearance.

He claims he only had a professional relationship with official suspect, Robert Murat, and he has never been named as an arguido.

The Judicial Police could not confirm this morning’s blast took place but witnesses in the area have told The Resident that two cars were involved. They have also said that one of the cars belonged to Malinka.

The Resident spoke to Robert Murat, who said that he had not been told about the incident but did confirm that Malinka drove a Silver Audi, similar to the car that was torched.

“I am in England now but I am surprised that no one in Praia da Luz phoned me to tell me about it”, he said.
