But instead she told the Leveson Inquiry about it for what reason? More money, compensation?
Is there no depths these greedy people won't stoop to?
If all parties involved signed the confidentiality agreement to put it to bed, why did mccanns rehash it at LI?
Not about the compensation which incidentally no one knows whether it is accounted for in the Fund as the accountings for the Fund are neither comprehensive nor transparent, but even the mention of the diary debacle should have been off limit - isn't that the whole point of the secrecy signing.
If certain bits can be mentioned and certain bits cant than what's the whole point of the confidentiality agreement.
Is the mccanns breaching that confidentiality clause? What's betting the NOTW is pissed off with them over their treacherous behavior.
Why did they accept payment and why did they have to sign a confidentiality to keep the 'payment' secret. Surely it cant only be payment that they want kept in the dark? so which side has secrets that they want hidden?
NOTW? Don't make sense - they should have nothing to hide after they paid up and apologised conceding to their understanding.
Which side suggested the confidentiality signing?
I bet the diary saga is not as straight forward as put forward at the LI.

CM is working overtime doing the round of the press - monitoring and controlling. And these are people with nothing to hide!

Absolutely JD. And that's what I don't understand.... what on earth has possessed them to get involved in this Leveson thing? They had nothing to gain and everything to lose.... I have a tiny hope ( only a little one though!) that maybe they have been manouvred into it by someone who is fed up of the story now, and sees a way through this enquiry to blow the whole sorry can of worms apart.

NOTW reportedly helped them raise 1.5m within 48 hours of the Fund going up.
Paid them $500 for book serialization
Paid them $125 for diary publication
Are both considered hushed money or only one - not sure about that. What is there to be hush about is the pertinent question.
Daily M paid them 600K
paid T7 375K (donated to the Fund)
Evening Standard ?
Express ?
What about other fund raising events?
Who else paid them?
They must the only parents who racked in on the back of their missing child.

I think they are playing a very dangerous game though. It looks like they are getting desperate with the mudslinging at the Leveson Inquiry. I think that when it does all come out, the papers are really going to go to town, having been forced to keep it quiet for so long. I am sure that they have all the evidence, they are just not allowed to print it.

Must be a rather sticky situation between NOTW and CM if a 6-way negotiation (NOTW, mccanns, CM, BK, Tom Crone, CR) was involved before a settlement reached and mutual agreement signed to keep the deal confidential.
Mutual agreement means mutual benefits to both sides else the side with nothing to lose agreeing to support the side with everything to lose simply makes no sense, so it must be not just the SUM paid out that they were trying to keep under wrap. It must be something more than that - something is fishy about this deal.
It would be interesting to know contents of that confidential deal.
