Are the McCanns about to sue Richard D. Hall over his Madeleine documentaries?
It looks that way from this extract from an article in today's Sun, reporting on anti-McCann trolls:
https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/3008845/madeleine-mccanns-parents-trolls-150-tweets-a-day/
"The heartbroken couple may also face a fresh legal battle as they may sue over a “lunatic conspiracy theory” TV documentary which has emerged, based on Amaral’s shocking accusations."
If it's not one of Richard Hall's films, then what is this 'lunatic conspiracy theory TV documentary' - does anyone know?
I thought this was comical:
"The heartbroken couple may also face a fresh legal battle..."
Er, surely it should read like this:
"The heartbroken couple may also launch a fresh legal battle..."
During the eight long years of the McCanns -v- Amaral saga in Portugal, I kept reading of how the McCanns 'faced yet another hearing' or 'faced a new legal battle' etc. etc.
Surely the best way of avoiding having to 'face' all these 'fresh legal battles' is not to start then in the first place?

Maybe they're thinking of suing the makers of the Karen Matthews documentary for mentioning the McCanns?

With a dwindling fund and huge legal costs, how can they afford to sue anyone?
Anyway, it's in the sun - Since when do you believe anything that you read in The Sun?
But, if it is true, notice how they wait until the films have been selling for a while before they pounce - Just like they did with Goncalo Amarals' book

Looks like we might have to set up a GoFundMe for Richard, if it's him, so he won't have to settle out of court!

The Sun, has just invited more people to "source" documentaries and the like on Madeleine McCann.

TB Yes, the papers can't even get Face and Launch right.
Not all Richard's films were on Blip.tv. I did mention to Tony when that stopped.
Good one jeanmonroe re Sonia. I wonder whether someone had a hold over her to stop her giving out the information... too many excuses and a trailer. I did offer to help her but to no avail.

I hope Richard stuck to asking awkward questions and realistic opinions based on the facts.
They can't touch you for that.
I hope he has good legal advice.

Conspiracy theory is claimed when someone who is telling a pack of lies comes across someone who is telling the truth.
Rather than reason the argument out, the liar resorts to calling the gathered evidence a conspiracy theory The liar labels the researcher a conspiracy theorist. The closer the research uncovers to the full facts, the loonier the conspiracy theory becomes.

Nice promotion!
Sure way of getting Sun readers to question the McCann's narrative, don't you think?
They cannot be serious in continuing to shout about GA's book or documentary, when it is not in question anymore;What is in question is that the McCann's are NOT CLEARED!

'IT'S ALL NONSENSE'
Kate and Gerry McCann may sue over ‘lunatic conspiracy theory’ video blaming them for Maddie’s disappearance
A controversial TV documentary based on ex-cop Goncalo Amaral's shocking book 'The Truth of The Lie' emerged on YouTube
Exclusive
By ELLIE FLYNN and TRACEY KANDOHLA

KATE and Gerry McCann may sue over a “lunatic conspiracy theory” video that blames them for Madeleine’s disappearance.
The heartbroken parents face fresh turmoil after a controversial TV documentary based on ex-cop Goncalo Amaral’s shocking book ‘The Truth of The Lie’ emerged on YouTube.
Kate and Gerry McCann may sue over a shocking documentary blaming them for their daughter’s disappearance
Maddie McCann disappeared from a hotel room in the Portuguese resort of Praia da Luz in May 2007
Madeleine’s parents – who are preparing themselves for the tenth anniversary of their daughter’s disappearance in May – are now considering legal action against the show.
A close pal of Maddie’s family branded the documentary, which was barred after the McCanns launched a successful lawsuit in Portugal, a “lunatic conspiracy theory”.
They told The Sun Online: “YouTube videos with lunatic conspiracy theories against the McCann’s have sadly been available on the website for years. It’s not just Amaral but all the anti’s spouting their nonsense.
“Kate and Gerry can’t silence them all but their lawyers will be looking at any they feel are potentially libellous and damaging.”
Goncalo Amaral, who headed the initial investigation into Maddie’s disappearance, wrote The Truth Of The Lie in 2008.
It accused Kate and Gerry McCann of faking Maddie’s abduction – prompting the couple to launch a successful libel claim against the former detective.But the couple have previously been left reeling after having their £395,000 libel victory revoked by Lisbon appeal judges who overturned a ban on his book in April.

Madeleine cops hunt new suspect
To add insult to injury, Amaral is now planning to sue the couple for compensation after winning his appeal.
The couple have on board the country’s top libel lawyers, London-based Carter Ruck.
Clarence Mitchell, the McCanns' spokesman, said today: “Any potentially defamatory material found online will be reviewed and assessed by Kate and Gerry’s lawyers. They will decide if it is appropriate to take any legal action.”

Goncalo Amaral, who headed the initial investigation into Maddie's disappearance, wrote The Truth Of The Lie in 2008
The Sun Online today revealed the McCanns slammed Portuguese media claims they are plotting to reap in hundreds of thousands of pounds from 10th anniversary interviews.
Mitchell branded the claims "spurious nonsense", adding: "They want to make it clear that they are not making any money out of Madeleine’s disappearance."
Madeleine vanished from a holiday rental apartment in Praia da Luz, Algarve, in May 2007.
Her disappearance made headlines across the world and the search for Maddie is thought to have cost £10m so far.

"Kate and Gerry can’t silence them all........"
NOPE!
eta: 'just 'emerged' on youtube????????'

When that documentary was made years ago, Clarence Mitchell said at the time: “I doubt that anyone around here is interested in watching it and the station that broadcasts it will be sued by our lawyers!”
Not only were people very interested in watching it, and they did, but a Portuguese lady made a version for us Brits with English subtitles which has been watched millions of times over the years.
So why wait til now?
Are they seriously going to try to take on Amaral again, despite the Supreme Court ruling?
Unless it's just their twisted way of ensuring Amaral's assets remain frozen while that doomed legal case goes ahead.

"Please, pretty please, DON'T SUE US, Mr Amaral. I know we've been ever so slightly 'slanderous and libelous' about you these past almost ten years, but, BUT, we're now 'promoting' your book and telling UK people where to 'look' for 'videos', every day, since you won you libel court case defence, for you, for 'free'." ***

So much "advertising" for Amaral's book & documentary of late?
What's their game?
Or is it someone else's game?
It doesn't matter how many articles are in MSM, it will not remove the FACT they are NOT CLEARED in the disappearance of their daughter, Madeleine.
And that is NO conspiracy theory

Yea but no but yeah but that decision was " frivolous " wasn't it !
They will continue to bleat with the help of Kandhola and co , how anguished , perplexed heartbroken blah blah blah they are .
Who they are going to sue next .
The Fund is running out .
No one is looking for Madeleine .
All in the run up to the 10th anniversary !
Have they paid another lump sum to keep them , not on the front pages this time but at least in the papers ?
Whatever the game is there has to be a "special one " at the helm !
