McCann vows to work with lawyers in Portugal

MADELEINE McCann’s father returned to Britain yesterday after making his first visit to Portugal in 16 months.

Mr McCann, 40, from Rothley, Leicestershire, said his brief trip to Portugal would be “the first of several” over the next few months.

He also indicated a willingness to improve relations with the Portuguese authorities, which were strained after police named him and his wife Kate as suspects in Madeleine’s disappearance.
