In the three-day search in the tourist area where McCann may have disappeared, police from Germany also participated. No information about any findings was released.
The then three-year-old Madeleine McCann disappeared from a resort in Algarve, Portugal during a family holiday in 2007.
The main suspect in the investigation is a German man who worked regularly in Algarve at the time of the girl's disappearance. In 2022, he was formally accused of being behind the abduction.
German police had requested that the investigation of the area be reopened. The man who had previously been suspected in the case is serving a prison sentence in Germany for rape.
