DETECTIVES probing the disappearance of Madeleine McCann say they have enough proof to charge her parents.

Portuguese police plan to travel to the UK to grill the couple and seven holiday pals they dined with when Maddie, four, went missing last May.

But it is claimed they already have the evidence for a case against Gerry and Kate McCann and expat suspect Robert Murat.

A police source said: "Most of the elements of proof have already been collected. We just want to reconfirm the statements made by the McCanns and their friends."

Yesterday a Portuguese newspaper claimed cops still hope to break an alleged "pact of silence" among the holiday group.

The McCanns have attacked Portuguese detectives for smearing them rather than hunting for Maddie's abductor.

The couple, both 39, were named as formal suspects last September.

Murat, 34, is claimed to have been seen near the McCanns' holiday flat the night Madeleine vanished.
