Polish Woman Charged with Stalking Madeleine McCann's Family in UK

The 23-year-old, who falsely claimed to be the missing girl in 2023, faces accusations of harassing the McCann family through visits and messages.

A 23-year-old Polish woman has been charged in the UK with stalking the family of Madeleine McCann, who disappeared in 2007 in Portugal.
The woman allegedly visited the McCann family's home twice in 2024 and sent letters, calls, and WhatsApp messages to the parents, Kate and Gerry McCann.
She is also accused of contacting Madeleine's siblings via Instagram, further escalating the harassment claims.
The woman was arrested at Bristol Airport and appeared in court, where she made no statements and was remanded in custody until a hearing scheduled for April 7, 2025.
In 2023, she falsely claimed on social media to be Madeleine McCann, a claim disproven by a DNA test, reigniting public attention on the still-unsolved 18-year-old case.
