Robert Murat was under close police surveillance since the morning of
May 4, the day after Madeleine was abducted
The main suspect (and only one, until now) in the Madeleine McCann
abduction, Robert Murat, was under close police surveillance since the
morning of May 4, the following day to the child disappearance. From
that moment on, all of his movements and contacts were monitored by
investigators of Polícia Judiciária (PJ - Portuguese Criminal
Investigation Department). On the early hours of that day, after the
first journalists arrived at the local, Murat was near the Ocean Club
and talked with several of them.

Casually dressed, with jeans, blue plastic sandals and a blue and
white chequered shirt, Murat took the initiative to talk with two
Portuguese journalists, saying that he knew very well Madeleine’s
parents, that they were both doctors, and he was “deeply disturbed
with the abduction, because he had a three year old daughter who, by
coincidence, was also called Madeleine”. His daughter, as was later
revealed, is called Sophia.

Gazeta Digital has learned that Portuguese police was able to get
extensive and detailed footage of Murat’s movements and contacts,
while he was among journalists and police officers or inside the Ocean
Club, during those days.

Murat’s business web site, Romigen.com, is just an advertisement site,
for real estate in Algarve. A person willing to sell a house pays 37
euros to have his advert published there. The site was built by Sergei
Malinka. Romigen is a company set up by Robert Murat and Michaela
Walczuch (or Walczuk, as there are some doubts about it), a registered
real estate professional, a foreigner of German and Polish origin,
living in Algarve for many years, that Robert met when he worked, for
a short period, on a real estate company. The site registration was
made in April 6, 2006, at 07:11 pm, but with the name of Robert Muray
(a possible mistake, as letter "t" and "y" are togheter in the
keyboard). The address is from Casa Liliana, the residence of Murat’s
mother, Mrs. Jennifer Ann Murat. The home number and mobile phone are
from Murat’s mother. Gazeta Digital checked both of them, but the
mobile phone has been disconnected, on a date we couldn’t find.
(...)
The site was closed on May 16, at 23:00 pm and put back online May 19,
01:36 am, sources told Gazeta Digital. On May 15, Polícia Judiciária
declared formally that they had a suspect, later revealed by he media
to be Robert Murat. Portuguese TV channel SIC also said that Murat, a
regular Internet user, stopped accessing the Net on the day Madeleine
was abducted, during almost one week. The Russian computer expert,
Sergei Malinka, told journalists that the only relation he had with
Murat was a professional one, when he helped him to create the web
site. According to Correio da Manhã, the police found that both
computers apprehended at Malinka’s home had all files in the hard-disk
wiped out, but we didn’t confirmed this detail.
