A cabbie who claims he may have picked up Madeleine McCann the night after she disappeared hopes to meet British police in Portugal. Antonio Castela, 73, said he took three men, a woman and a child in pink pyjamas who resembled Madeleine, then three, from close to the Spanish border to a hotel near Faro. He said they then drove away in a blue 4x4. Mr Castela claims the girl even had the same mark in her eye as Madeleine. He said he told local police but never heard anything. Scotland Yard officers could soon fly to Portugal after Home Secretary Theresa May applied for permission for them to be there. Mr Castela said: "I want to tell them what I saw. I remember the details. It has haunted me for a long time." Madeleine went missing in Praia da Luz on the Algarve in May 2007. The Portuguese investigation is officially closed but Met officers want to speak to 38 suspects.
