The UK, Ireland, France, Malta, Cyprus and Austria keep records of criminals who have been convicted for sex crimes. This means police can block them from travelling abroad or coming into Britain.
But in 22 EU countries there is no such system – meaning sex offenders can freely travel to the UK while leaving authorities completely oblivious to their dark histories. Now campaigners including Kate McCann, the mother of Madeleine who went missing in Portugal, are calling for a scheme to be set up across the whole of the EU.
