Lisbon - Portugal's attorney-general says officials have not yet decided if their investigation into the disappearance of British child Madeleine McCann is over.
Fernando Pinto Monteiro says police have handed over their final report into the girl's disappearance. Three Portuguese newspapers have cited unidentified police sources saying the 14-month investigation has reached a dead end and the case is to be closed.
However, Monteiro said in a statement on Tuesday that prosecutors will examine the police report before deciding whether to end the investigation or undertake further inquiries.
Madeleine McCann went missing in Portugal's southern Algarve region during a family holiday in May 2007, days before her fourth birthday.
