Portuguese police 'to clear McCanns'
Police in Portugal are set to clear the parents of Madeleine McCann of involvement in her disappearance, according to reports.
The Portuguese press has reported that detectives are to re-interview Kate and Gerry McCann then announce they are no longer official suspects.
Legal experts are quoted as saying they believe the police will close the case without charging anyone over Madeleine's disappearance.
The news comes after Carlos Anjos, the head of Portugal's police federation, said officers had "bigger problems" to deal with than the search for Madeleine.
The McCann family's spokesman Clarence Mitchell said Mr Anjos' comments were "not helpful".
Madeleine vanished from the family's holiday apartment in Praia da Luz on May 3 last year, just before her fourth birthday.
