The parents of missing four-year-old Madeleine McCann returned to Britain on Sunday, just two days after Portuguese police named them as formal suspects.
Their new status does not prevent them from leaving Portugal, but it expands the scope of the questions that the investigators can ask them.
The couple have criticised the Portuguese police, claiming that the investigators have pressured Kate McCann, the mother, to confess to killing her daughter by accident.
However, they claim that their return was not caused by the latest twist of the saga, which began on May 3, when Madeleine disappeared from the apartment room at the Portuguese Praia da Luz resort, while her parents were eating at a nearby restaurant.
The McCanns were greeted at the airport by a crowd of reporters and read a statement in which they asked for the press to respect their privacy, the BBC reported.
The family has campaigned internationally to secure the safe return of their daughter over the past months, including having a meeting with Pope Benedict XVI and securing support from football star David Beckham.
