Yet another Madeleine McCann story following the release of documents from the Portuguese police files. This time unfortunately it is a little more sinister.
British police sent information they received from a informant that a photograph of a girl in Portugal was sent to a Belgian paedophile ring days before Madeleine dispappeared.
The Metropolitan Police e-mail reads: "Intelligence suggests that a paedophile ring in Belgium made an order for a young girl three days before Madeleine McCann was taken."
Portuguese police pursued the lead with Interpol, which gathered further reports from Belgium, the UK, Finland and Germany.
Detective Paulo Rebelo, head of the Madeleine inquiry, ruled that all but the German intelligence showed "lack of credibility" and ordered that the Scotland Yard tip-off should be filed.
The United Kingdom's relationship with Iceland has grown frosty in the last twenty four hours.
