Police rule out releasing Madeleine McCann files
Thousands of British police files detailing the hunt for Madeleine McCann, right, will not be released unless those behind her disappearance are brought to justice.
Senior Leicestershire Police officers have remained tight-lipped about their role co-ordinating the search for the toddler since she vanished in May 2007.
But analysts at the force have drawn up a list detailing the mass of information they have gathered and considered whether they would ever release any of it. The paperwork includes everything from correspondence with Ministers, minutes of police meetings, details of leads and sightings to copies of letters from the McCann family.
Leicestershire Police said they will not release any information while the inquiry is ongoing.
But internal documents suggest some papers may eventually be published.
