Espanjan sisäministeriön mukaan Portugalissa siepatun 4-vuotiaan brittitytön, Madeleine McCannin, sieppauksesta epäilty italialainen mies on pidätetty Espanjassa.



Viranomaiset eivät ole vielä tiedottaneet asiasta tarkemmin.



Madeleine siepattiin toukokuun alussa hotellihuoneestaan portugalilaisessa lomakohteessa hänen vanhempiensa ollessa syömässä hotellin lähistöllä.



Tytön sieppauksesta takana on uskottu olevan kansainvälisiä pedofiilirinkejä, mutta tähän asti ketään ei oltu vielä pidätetty tapauksen vuoksi. Aiemmin Madeleinen sieppauksesta on epäilty vain brittiläistä Robert Muratia, jota kuulusteltiin useaan otteeseen, muttei kuitenkaan koskaan virallisesti pidätetty.



Aiemmin tänään espanjalainen tutkija Antonio Toscano antoi viranomaisille tietoja, joiden hän uskoi johdattavan näidet sieppaajien jäljille.

The Portuguese police have told Sky News that an Italian man and a Portuguese woman have been arrested in Spain for the suspected kidnapping of Madeleine McCann.

The website of the Spanish El Pais newspaper says the man was picked up in the port city of Algeciras in the south of the country near Gibraltar in the early hours of this morning.

Madeleine disappeared from her family' s holiday apartment in the seaside resort of Praia da Luz in Portugal on May 3.



Sky News producer, Gaynor Jesus, who is based in the town, said police had confirmed to her that there had been two arrests but that they would give no further details.



Madeleine' s parents, Gerry and Kate McCann, have remained in Portugal as they continue the search for their daughter.



The couple said they would stay there until they are ready to return to Britain with the youngster.



They have been living in an apartment close to the holiday resort flat where Madeleine was snatched from her bed.

Brian Kennedy, Madeleine' s Uncle, told Sky news: " Our hopes have been raised several times by reported sightings.



" We' re trying not to get our hopes up too much because they so frequently get dashed.



" We' ve been cautioned to be careful not to read too much into reports but it shows people haven' t forgotten about Madeleine even if the reports come to nothing.



" We don' t want people to become tired of the story and they don' t seem to be - everybody' s been very kind and supportive."



There have been a host of reports of possible sightings of Madeleine, most recently in Malta.



The police there said they have received eight fresh reports in the past few days from people claiming to have seen the four-year-old, from Rothley, Leicestershire.



The reports follow a wave of possible sightings of girls matching Madeleine' s description across the island.
