A Portuguese investigating magistrate is considering what further lines of inquiry to pursue after receiving the file on missing British girl Madeleine McCann.
After handing the file over to the magistrate, the country's chief prosecutor said that further investigation would continue into the disappearance of the four-year-old and that further action may be taken against her parents, who have been named as suspects.
Yesterday, Portuguese police handed their ten volumes of reports and evidence to prosecutors, who promptly submitted it to the investigating magistrate.
The magistrate will now have ten days to consider what further lines of inquiry to pursue.
Kate and Gerry McCann were made formal suspects in the case on Friday, but two days later returned to Britain with their two-year-old twins with the agreement of the Portuguese authorities.
The McCanns say their daughter was abducted while she slept in their holiday apartment where they were staying in the Algarve.
Gerry McCann, writing in his blog for the first time since returning to England, said yesterday that the couple were suffering an 'unending nightmare' after being named as formal suspects.
