NOT TRUE!!!!........................it was FIFTY TWO THOUSAND SMACKAROONS, not fifty thousand

From a "troll" who donated. Best money I have EVER spent, and I will do it again, if the need is there.

Using FindMadeleine money donated by pensioners and school children to pay their litigation legal bills; sanctioned by FM Board of Directors of which Kate and Gerry are two members out of the 6-member Board.

Unlike donors to FM Fund, tricked by Kate & Gerry into believing their money would be used solely to find Maddie, donors to Amaral were happy to help him in full knowledge they were contributing to his defense fund.

Sick Kate & Gerry put out the begging bowl right from the off, starting in PDL, already assuming (ahem knowing) she won't be found in the long term.
At the height of their begging, John McCann even urged the public to send cash in envelopes to Rothley.

Sick Brit trolls pay £50k to Portuguese cop who accused Maddie’s parents of lying about daughter’s abduction
 
By ANTONELLA LAZZERI, in Portugal
 
21:45, 23 Apr 2016
 
A GoFundMe page was set up in April last year to help cop overturn the libel ruling
 
BRITISH trolls paid £50,000 to help a Portuguese cop overturn a ruling that he libelled Madeleine McCann’s parents.
Goncalo Amaral, 57, was ordered to pay Kate, 47, and Gerry, 48, half a million euros after accusing them of lying about Maddie’s abduction.
 
Then a GoFundMe page to support the broke police inspector was set up last April.
 
Founder Leanne Baulch, of Birmingham, quit after it was taken over by an anti-McCann “fan club”.
Tony Bennett, 67, of Harlow, Essex, who has clashed with the McCanns in court, was among the donors.
Others included Brigette Barnes, a supporter on pro-Amaral websites, and Marian Greaves, who wrote to a star asking him to put in £10,000. The fund shut after raising £52,000.
 
Amaral made a fortune from The Truth of the Lie, a 2008 book containing the claims, but his assets were frozen after his 2010 libel loss.
The McCanns, of Rothley, Leics, who deny his claims, planned to use the payout to help find Madeleine. She vanished aged three in the Algarve in 2007.

Story doesn't really tie in with the Sun's 'teaser', but then I suppose it is only the Sun, so do they even care?

Trolls pay Maddie lie cop’s court bill
 
EXCLUSIVE: Ex-cop who lost libel case against McCanns has British backers
 
EXCLUSIVE by Ben Perrin 00:01, 3 May 2015
 
BRITISH trolls are helping to pay legal bills of an ex-cop who said Madeleine McCann’s parents were behind her disappearance.
 
Hundreds of donations have flooded into a sick campaign for Goncalo Amaral.
Today is the eighth anniversary of Madeleine’s disappearance from Praia da Luz, Portugal.
 
An ex-British policeman is among those supporting the “injustice” of him losing a libel case over allegations in his book The Truth of the Lie.
 
He claimed Maddie’s parents Kate, 47, and Gerry, 46, faked her abduction after she died.
 
Amaral, 56, is set to launch a costly appeal after being ordered to pay the couple, from Rothley, Leics, a total of £434,000.
 
Leanne Baulch, 22, is listed as organiser of gofundme webpage “Legal Defence for Goncalo Amaral”.
 
Some donors called the libel ruling a “perversion of justice”.
 
John Green paid £10 and wrote: “I am a retired police officer and will never understand how criminal proceedings have never been taken against the McCanns.”
 
Mary Benusis said her £50 was in memory of a Twitter troll found dead after being exposed as being behind vile social media messages about the McCanns.
 
A McCanns spokesman declined to comment.

The more I look at it, the more I go back to my original thoughts that the Sun have bottled it, pulled a different story and stuck this in as a filler.
 
There is nothing remotely ‘secret’ about it and it just doesn’t fit yesterdays ‘teaser’.
 
Does Antonella Lazzeri actually get paid for rehashing other peoples stories or does the Sun pay her just to use her name?

But no better occasion than dr Amarals positive outcome for rejoining my fellow Trolls, in the UK and abroad

To dr Amaral: if they drag you to the Supreme Court, I will support you again, financially, morally and legally, whatever it takes. 

You have now been vindicated. I am quite certain we will look after you. This is about Justice, with a big J.

Couldn't agree more.  I supported Leanne's fund many times under my real name, and prior to that the original PJGA Fund (I swapped in order to be able to add comments to my donations).  I would do so again without a second's hesitation if Mr Amaral needed further funding in the Supreme Court.  Hopefully it will never get that far and he will be able to get his life back on track at long last.
