One of Freud's victims, Vicky Hayes, said she became concerned about his motives after learning that the former Liberal MP had befriended the McCanns in the aftermath of their daughter’s disappearance. Hayes said:

:“I read Kate McCann’s book and was immediately upset and anxious that Clement Freud had invited the McCanns to his home. He was a private man, not the type to suddenly befriend a couple who had intense media attention. It really jarred with me, left me feeling very uneasy. He had a home in Praia da Luz, but why invite them and cook for them?”<ref>[http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/madeleine-mccann-police-did-nothing-about-links-to-paedophile-clement-freud-victim-claims_uk_5762685ae4b03f24e3db2e1f "Madeleine McCann: Police Did Nothing About Links To Paedophile Clement Freud, Victim Claims"]</ref>

Clarence Mitchell is a PR consultant who has acted as spokesman for Kate and Gerry McCann since 2007 and stood as Conservative Party candidate for Brighton Pavilion in the May 2015 UK General Election, but was defeated by Caroline Lucas of the Green Party.

Before his move into public relations, Mitchell was a reporter for BBC News covering the Soham murders, the Fred West killings and the killing of Princess Diana.

He also worked as director of the Government’s Media Monitoring Unit, controlling the flow of information to newspapers.[1][2]

Freudian slip?

In an article published on 14 June 2016, Craig Murray described how commenters on his blog had directly caused the exposure of the late Clement Freud as a paedophile.[3] Murray wrote:

"It then all went quiet for a year before ITV contacted me this morning to tell me the story was running.
"It is hard to know what to make of Freud owning a holiday villa close to where Madeleine McCann disappeared. Clement was apparently not in Portugal at the time. When you add in the fact that the McCanns’ sleazy 'spokesman', Clarence Mitchell, works for Freud’s son Matthew, the coincidences do add up.[4] I am not jumping to any conclusions at present. But I found the following fascinating:
"Clement Freud assured Kate McCann she had nothing to fear from the cadaver dogs giving a positive response inside the McCann’s hire car, hired after Madeleine 'disappeared'. They had no evidential value. 'So what are they going to do? One bark for yes, two barks for no?' asked Freud."[5]
