“I’m not aware of any breakthrough evidence or breakthrough interview that is going to cause a significant shift in the Met Police investigation and this was one of our principle concerns,” Clarence Mitchell, the McCanns’ long-time spokesperson, said.
“Netflix are a commercial operation, they are obviously looking for hits on the platform and if it’s done within the laws of defamation then fine.
“Because they have not talked to our side, it will inevitably be one-sided and I’m afraid this just gives succour to the conspiracy loons out there.”
“Netflix has got quite a strand with these true-crime dramas…I hate to use the word ‘entertainment’, but it’s got that potential.”
In the official trailer for the eight-part series, snippets of quotes detail the case as “the worst things a human being could see” and “statistically likely to be [committed by] someone with close proximity to the child” while one person notes that “one shocking element was the sheer number of sexual predators in the area at the time”.
Police were given another £150,000 to continue their investigations in November with Operation Grange so far costing around £12 million.
The Disappearance of Madeleine McCann was released on Netflix on March 15.
