The Portuguese general attorney shelved the case of the missing young British girl Madeleine McCann and lifted the "suspect" label from her parents due to lack of evidence, the public prosecutor said on Monday.
The case will remain on hold unless new evidence emerges, according to Attorney-General Fernando Pinto Monteiro.
The 14-month investigation of the case uncovered no evidence of a crime by the three people who were previously named as suspects by detectives: Madeleine's parents Kate and Gerry and local man Robert Murat.
The British toddler went missing in May 2007, several days before her fourth birthday, during a family vacation in Portugal's southern Algarve region.
