Sky News sources say Raymond Hewlett was living in Tavira, a coastal town between Faro and the Spanish border, when Madeleine disappeared on May 3 2007.
Tavira is about an hour's drive from Praia da Luz, where Madeleine vanished while on holiday with her family.
It is understood the former soldier was tracked down in Germany, where he was being treated in hospital for cancer.
Reports said Hewlett, 64, has a long record of sex attacks on young girls and is wanted by police in the UK and Ireland.
Since Maddie's disappearance he has gone back on the run, it is claimed.
Hewlett has reportedly been jailed several times for sexual offences against young girls.
