SOLTeam of private investigators abandons the case after receiving over 600 thousand euros24 August 2008
The team of private investigators that was investigating all the leads that the PJ didn’t value in the Madeleine case, abandoned the case after six months. Until now, the fund that was created to find the child has already paid 500 thousand pounds (over 600 thousand euros) to this team
The team of detectives, Oakley International, that prides itself in employing former agents of the British secret services as investigators, and contacts at the FBI, was hired to investigate possible leads concerning the whereabouts of Maddie, on the internet.
A source revealed that the team even infiltrated a man into a Belgian paedophile network.
But the contract with the company will not be renewed. Everything points to the fact that multimillionaire Brian Kennedy, who is one of the main contributors to the Find Madeleine fund, is not happy with the work that was developed by the detectives up to the moment.
The contract was suddenly canceled last week, after a meeting of independent ‘monitors’ of the fund’s accountancy. The cost of hiring the detectives reached over 600 thousand euros and now the fund’s amount is below 500 thousand pounds.
Questions concerning the manner in which the money is being spent started to arise, and Brian Kennedy thought that 80 thousand pounds per month was too much for the results that had been accomplished.
