With regard to our urgent request dated 17-8-2007 with regard to the offer made by the St Gallen police force of the availability of Urs Hans Von Aesch’s vehicle to the investigating authorities in Portugal working on the disappearance of Madeleine McCann as mentioned previously. There is no apparent connection between the case of Madeleine and the disappearance of Ylenia Lenhard in Switzerland but this hypothesis cannot be completely disregarded.

For your information:
On 21-08-2007 IP London responded with the following:

“Following your message of 17-08-2007 with regard to the vehicle belonging to the individual mentioned above, we checked that it was sent to Interpol Lisbon. We inform however, that we also sent an investigative team to Portugal by means of the link created by the police force of the UK with the aim (we hope) to guarantee a reply to your offer”.

We would be grateful if it could be taken into consideration that we urgently require your decision before 5-9-2007 given that a meeting into the investigation is planned for 6-9-2007.

We thank you for informing us. About what is possible, your intentions.

The receipt for the purchase of the bread was found amongst Von Aesh’s belongings.

IP Lisbon, London Information for Lyon SG

With regard to Urs Hans Von Aesch, Swiss citizen, born on 11-11-1940, suspected of attempted homicide, child abduction, etc.

Missing girl Ylenia Lenhard, born on 18-11-2001 in Switzerland.


As mentioned in previous correspondence, the investigations underway conducted by the police from the Canton of St Gallen did not manage to establish any link to the case of the disappearance of the British girl Madeleine McCann.

The vehicle of the suspect Urs Hans Von Aesch (Renault Traffic, number plate A5472CT) is currently being held in an isolation area and laboratory examinations by forensic experts from St Gallen have taken place. DNA traces of the girl Ylenia Lenhard who continues to be missing were found in the car. We hope that some of the traces will be released and distributed shortly for the effect of verification.

St Gallen police urgently need to know whether the authorities investigating the case of Madeleine McCann in Portugal or in the UK would be interested in our remaining with the vehicle for subsequent investigations, however it should be mentioned that during the first urgent searches sniffer dogs and other persons entered the vehicle (using rubber gloves).

In case your authorities do not need the vehicle the St Gallen police wish to dismantle the vehicle completely in order to find any signs of evidence.

Please inform us as urgently as possible about your intentions with regard to the vehicle so that the St Gallen police can proceed to dismantle it.

We thank you for your cooperation.

French Embassy in Spain
Madrid, July 23, 2007

Subject: Spontaneous transmission of information

Dear Colleague,

On June 28 in the South of Spain on the basis of an international arrest warrant an Italian, Danilo CHEMELLO, has been interrogated and the Spanish police has investigated his possible involvement in the disappearance of the little British girl Madeleine Mc Caan [not my typing error...] (Maddie) assuming that he and his companion, have tried to swindle the parents of the abducted minor while cheating them for a reward.

Danilo CHEMELLO is also wanted in France on the basis of arrest warrant of the Tribunal de Grande Instance in Nice having been sentenced in his absence on February 3 2006 for participation with a gang of criminals with the object of preparing a crime punished for a minimum of 5 years in prison. In this French affair, CHEMELLO, at the time in provisional detention in the frame of his prosecution for having abused his children, had hired a private detective to shadow the judge in charge of the case, in order to blackmail him.

During the conversations I have had with the office of the public prosecutor in Marseille, the colleagues have drawn my attention to other elements regarding Danilo CHEMELLO, which deserve, if you allow me to say so, to be communicated to the Portuguese public prosecutor’s office, which is handling the abduction of the minor Maddie.

I send you in annex a copy of a report on CHEMELO and his companion in which, apart from the bad treatment of his daughter Chiara for which he is reproached, the following elements appear regarding the couple CHEMELLO/PEREIRA:

- In 2000 and 2001 they’re supposed to have negotiated with American middlemen for the purchase of ova and the services of a surrogate mother
- They’re supposed to have had frozen embryos sent to a Greek doctor
- There are uncertainties regarding the parentage of the minors Allessandro and Chiara
- There are possibilities of disappeared children and faked pregnancies.

Under French law these elements can constitute criminal offences some of which may have been committed in the following countries: Russia, Byelorussia, Great Brittany, Greece, United States, Switzerland.

In the frame of these criminal activities which are related to the medical milieu, CHEMELLO and his companion may have been in contact with Gerry and Kate Mac Caan, parents of the minor Maddie, who are as for that matter both doctors [cardiologist and GP].

In the frame of the spontaneous transmission of information as foreseen in the convention of May 29 2000, the public prosecutor’s office in Marseille sends these elements to the competent authorities in Portugal and remains at their disposal for more complete information.

With kind regards,
El Magistrado de Enlace
Samuel VUELTA SIMON
