McCanns in 'final say' legal fight over officers’ claims
03 Jun 2016
The parents of Madeleine McCann have launched a new appeal in a bid to "silence" a retired Portuguese police officer who accused them of faking her abduction and lying about their daughter's disappearance.
Former detective Goncalo Amaral was told to pay Kate and Gerry McCann £436,000 in libel damages and costs after penning a book in 2008 claiming they covered up Madeleine's death.
But in April the ruling was overturned by three judges, meaning Mr Amaral did not have to pay the couple compensation and could republish his best-seller, The Truth Of The Lie.
Gerry and Kate McCann lodged a new legal bid on May 23 at Portugal's Supreme Court — which will have the final say on whether the former detective should pay damages.
The parents — who have been searching for their daughter for nine years — hope the appeal will bring an end to their seven-year legal fight against Mr Amaral, it is reported.
If unsuccessful, their hefty legal bill could come from the Find Maddie Fund, which was set up after their three-year-old daughter vanished in Portugal in 2007.
Three appeal judges ruled in Mr Amaral's favour on April 19, saying he had a right to express his opinions, according to a 16-page judgment posted online.
They argued that Mr Amaral's own views "overruled any duty of confidentiality" he had as a former chief officer heading the Madeleine McCann investigation once the case files, made available on the internet by Portuguese authorities, were put into the public domain.
This would have meant that the McCanns did not receive a penny of the original libel damages. Publisher Guerra e Paz is expected to republish the book, adding to the £316,000 the former officer has already earned from the title — which claimed Madeleine had died in the flat and the McCanns had faked her abduction to cover up the tragedy.
The couple is concerned that the continuing legal action against Mr Amaral could "wipe out" the money they have put aside for this investigation, they said.
Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) Commissioner Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe has hinted that the investigation into Madeleine's disappearance — the UK’s highest-profile missing persons’ inquiry — could be wound up within months.
He said detectives are now following only “one line of inquiry”. And he admitted that unless new evidence is forthcoming, the inquiry will be brought to an end.
In a personal intervention on the disappearance, Sir Bernard told LBC: "There's been a lot of investigation time spent on this terrible case.
“It's a child who went missing, everybody wants to know if she is alive and if she is — where she is. Sadly, if she is dead, then we need to give some comfort to the family.”
The remaining line of inquiry is centred around a letter asking for assistance sent from MPS investigators to the Portuguese Public Prosecution Service in July 2015.
Sir Bernard said: "There is a line of inquiry that remains to be concluded and it's expected that in the coming months that will happen”, before adding: "If somebody comes forward and gives us good evidence we will follow it. We always say that a missing child inquiry is never closed."
The Home Office set a budget for this year’s investigation of just under £95,000. But this is expected to only cover the first half of the financial year — until the autumn.
The sum will just about pay for salaries of the four-person team working on the case — down from a high point of 29 — but puts into serious question other vital incidentals such as flights to Portugal and expensive forensic work.
Come October, it had been widely anticipated that the five-year review and investigation would be wound up.
And when asked when Operation Grange will end, the MPS Commissioner replied: "At the moment it would be at the conclusion of this line of inquiry unless something else comes up.”
Last month Detective Chief Superintendent Mick Duthie, head of the MPS’ Homicide and Major Crime Command, appeared more optimistic when he said he believes the “ongoing work” of the inquiry can still reach a conclusion all parties want.
Det Chief Supt Duthie added: “There is always a possibility that we will find Madeleine and we hope that we will find her alive.
"That's what we want and that's what the family and the public want and that is why the Home Office continue to fund it. There is work that needs to be done still."
The McCanns are believed to be considering financing their own private investigation should the MPS operation come to an end.

Really...REALLY??
KM never 'searched' for Madeleine on her 'bike ride/marathon runs' did she?
GM never 'searched' for Madeleine at the posh hotel 'do's' with all the 'celebs' he 'mingled' with.
K&GM never 'searched' for Madeleine in all the Portuguese 'court' rooms, they've frequented!
K&GM didn't even 'search' for Madeleine.......on the night she 'disappeared'!
What they have 'done', is 'lived' the Z-list 'lifestyle' and enriched themselves on the 'back' of their'cash cow', 'missing' daughter.......for NINE YEARS!

Just 'the thing' a 'missing' Madeleine would 'love' to 'hear' from her erm, constantly, 'searching' mother!

Wow, now there is an easy solution for that, isn't it?

Re: Policeprofessional.com website reporting McCann case
Wipe out the money THEY put aside,,, omg... It's our money, Mr Amaral didn't have the privelage of putting money aside, the poor man had every cent he owned taken from him because of the McCanns..
All they are doing now is using a bit OUR money to try get what they can, if they lose they lose, doesn't matter, not costing them a cent.. It's our money..
And I'm certain they still have millions hidden.. Wasn't that Spanish Agency Money Laundering experts?

They've managed to go from George at Asda to made-to-measure suits in the space of seven short years. So clearly money is not a problem for them now. I wonder why that would be.

Nicely summed up, jeanmonroe. It's all very well to enjoy oneself, bike riding and running with friends, living the high life but not pretending to be searching for Madeleine. It's hard to believe that Kate is/was Madeleine's mother!
