' States that the locale of Baroes is a locale where potential paedophiles exist interested in abducting children;
' He grew up in an area called Eseen or Lassen, in the south of Norfolk and north of Southfolk (England);

Portimao Judicial Court

Conclusion 13-05-2007


From the process files (pages 995 – 998) results the founded suspicion that the suspect Robert Murat could be the author of the abduction being investigated.

A search of the residences used by the suspect was required, this diligence being essential for acquiring evidence.

As this diligence is essential for the acquisition of evidence and in ordering the search warrant as promoted by the magistrate of the Public Ministry as being covered by the provisions of Art 174 nº 2 of the CPP which determines the granting of these warrants as laid down in articles 174 nº 2 and 3, 177 nº 1 and 269 nº 1ª from the CPP:

I determine that search of the premises should be made, carried out by the PJ within the scope of the ongoing investigation, under suspicion of the practice of the crime of abduction at the residences of the suspect, Robert Murat.

- in Rua Ramalhete, Casa Liliana, Luz, Lagos, residence of the suspect and his mother Jennifer Murat, where they both live and the annexes:
- Rua Joaoa Moniz Nogueira, plot B3 in Lagos;
- Rua Adelina de Gloria Berger, plot 8 1 C in Lagos, residence of Michaela Walczuch.

I also order searches in the following sites:

- Rua Garret nº 19 in Lagos.
- Rua Lima Leitao nº 19, ground floor in Lagos.

As well as search warrants for the vehicles:


- VW Transporter, number plate 44-77-KD
- Peugeot 205 number plate RI-96-03
- Hiundai Getz number plate 60-AX-86

Proceed to issue the search warrants with the mention that, in the course of the authorised search the rules and limitations foreseen in articles nº 176 and nº 1 of 177 og the CPP should be observed.

Because it is useful for the purposes of the ongoing investigation, under the conditions of article 269 nº 1c and 2, 187, 1 and 188 of the CPP, I determine the procedure of the interception and taping of telephone conversations or any other kind of communication made from or too the following numbers 91 918 84 41 (TMN number) 91 368 75 18, 91 746 23 08 and 91 988 19 59 (TMN number) during the period of 15 days.

Each respective operator should be requested to provide a detailed invoice in digital form, register of trace back and location of the mobile phones with the abovementioned numbers relating to the period from 25th April 2007 to the current date, as well as the interception of IMEIS where the numbers operate or are seen to operate.

This information should be sent directly to the PJ, guaranteeing confidentiality for the operator.

Resulting from the process files, given that in the inquiries already carried out there are indications that are consistent with the abovementioned suspect having been identified as the author of the abduction referred to in the process files.

This action is susceptible of including the practice of child trafficking.

The crime referred to is classed in article 1 nº 1 of Law nº 5/2002.


As it is obvious that the diligence in question has great interest for establishing the facts being investigated given their nature, authorisation is given to collect images and voice recordings by means of video relating to the movements of the suspect on national territory (nº 1 of article 6 of law 5/2002, 11th Jan).

I hereby authorise the collection of images and voice records by means of video relating to the suspect’s movements for 30 days, whilst observing legal formalities.

The images and voice registers should be submitted for judgement after ten days of collection and the requirements of art 188 nº1 of the CPP should be observed.

NUIPC201.070


Robert Murat, arguido in the files of the inquiry mentioned above, according to the terms of article 86 of the CPP and the new wording conferred by Law 48 of 2007 of 29th August, requires that he be given the faculty to consult the case files because as is clearly established by article 1: “the penal process is public under penalty of nullity”.

The arguido as well as most citizens has knowledge from the press about the constitution of new arguidos in this case which is why he wants to have access to the indications gathered against him in order to be able to refute them.
