Silence settles over McCann’s “costly” court defeat

Since news that the parents of Madeleine McCann have lost their third court bid for damages against former PJ coordinator Gonçalo Amaral, relative silence has settled over the British media.
Only one tabloid appears to be flying provocative headlines, while it has been left to a fringe news site to put them into ‘journalese’.
The Daily Star proclaimed yesterday that the “Fund set up to find missing Madeleine Mccann could be wiped out”.
Radaronline ran with the far more sensationalist assertion that parents Kate and Gerry “are facing bankruptcy”.
The truth is possibly somewhere in between - which, as Portuguese tabloid Correio da Manhã admits, “will be expensive” whatever the final amount.
The ruling by Supreme Court judges released last week leaves the Leicester couple liable for not only their own court costs, but those incurred by Amaral in a series of hearings.
The Star maintains that “no figure has been agreed, but it will be six figures and could use up all the cash left in the fund set up to find Madeleine, if trustees agree to release the cash”.
CM appears to have misread the Star’s story, and suggest the final figure for the couple’s court costs will be €100,000.
This could not possibly ‘wipe out’ the Find Madeleine Fund, as this stands - according to the Star - at £714,800 (or €826,000).
At no point in any of the stories following up on this protracted legal battle has there been any clue as to whether Amaral will be lodging his own civil action for damages - a possibility he has floated in the press in the past (click here).
Indeed, Amaral has been keeping his own silence as he works hard on the finishing touches of his second book on the Madeleine mystery - aimed for a publishing date at the end of April to coincide with the 10-year anniversary of the child’s disappearance.

Plus Richard D. Hall's new film coming out too
Maybe Piers Morgan can watch it before the Prime Suspects, Kate and Gerry, park their bottoms on his sofa just so he can ask some relevant questions?

Corrieo da Manha 24.3.2017
Fundo de Maddie tem 830 mil euros
Derrotas contra Gonçalo Amaral obrigam Kate e Gerry a pagar custas judiciais.
O casal McCann dispõe neste momento de 830 mil euros no fundo bancário aberto para suportar os custos das buscas pela filha Maddie, desaparecida a 3 de maio de 2007, na Praia da Luz, em Lagos.
Kate e Gerry sofreram recentemente três derrotas judiciais na batalha que os opõe ao ex-coordenador da PJ Gonçalo Amaral. O Supremo Tribunal de Justiça não aceitou o recurso do casal McCann à decisão do Tribunal da Relação que autorizou o regresso às bancas do livro de Gonçalo Amaral A Verdade da Mentira (que defende a tese da morte da menina). Os juízes do Supremo livraram ainda Gonçalo Amaral do pagamento de uma indemnização de 500 mil euros a Kate e Gerry por danos morais.
Já esta semana, a mesma instância judicial voltou a confirmar a decisão. O casal inglês deverá agora ser condenado a pagar todas as custas judiciais dos recursos, cujo valor poderá ultrapassar os 100 mil euros. Com a certeza de mais despesas, os McCann ponderam ainda recorrer das decisões do Supremo português para o Tribunal Europeu dos Direitos do Homem.

Maddie fund has 830 thousand euros
Defeats against Gonçalo Amaral force Kate and Gerry to pay court fees.
The McCann couple currently have 830,000 euros in the open bank fund to support the costs of the searches for their daughter Maddie, who disappeared on May 3, 2007, in Praia da Luz, Lagos.
Kate and Gerry have recently suffered three court defeats in the battle that opposes them to former PJ coordinator Gonçalo Amaral. The Supreme Court of Justice did not accept the appeal of the couple McCann to the decision of the Court of Appeal that authorized the return to the stands of the book of Gonçalo Amaral The Truth of the Lie (that defends the thesis of the death of the girl). The judges of the Supreme Court also rescued Gonçalo Amaral from paying a compensation of 500 thousand euros to Kate and Gerry for moral damages.
Earlier this week, the same court again confirmed the decision. The English couple must now be ordered to pay all legal costs of the appeals, whose value may exceed 100 thousand euros. With the certainty of more expenses, the McCann still consider appealing the decisions of the Portuguese Supreme Court to the European Court of Human Rights

The ULTIMATE icing on the cake would be if he launched it in Foyles on Charing cross road giving signed copies whilst presents. How about that for a story watching journalists? Don't think the McCanns are gonna threaten the top bookshop in the country.Keitei wrote:So looking forward to this new book written by a true gentleman.

Don't be so sure. They managed to get Pat Brown's kindle book wiped-off Amazon UK - a branch of the internet's top worldwide book sellers.Captain_Pugwash wrote:The ULTIMATE icing on the cake would be if he launched it in Foyles on Charing cross road giving signed copies whilst presents.

Besides, Goncalo Amaral has more dignity than to lower himself to their level. His concern is freedom of speech and justice for Madeleine McCann, not to get even or make a fast buck out of a bestseller - not like some that could be named cashing in on an autobiographical novel.

Yes but is Clarrie gonna stand outside on Charing cross road burbling in public "He is only doing this to make money"?

Rocky, we are told, is putting the final touches to his book.
Good enough for me to know that there will be a second book - he aint listening to any threats of legal action imo.
He is a very shrewd man and knows how to keep quiet.

It is here in the UK where Dr Amaral has been shamefully vilified and slandered, and the misinformation and xenophobia towards him and the PJ has been relentless, hence it is his desire and (imo) inherent right to have Maddie: The Truth of The Lie sold in shops across the UK, to redress the balance, and defend his good name.
When the McCanns attempt to further curtail Dr Amaral's freedom of speech they will not only give his new book immense publicity, but increase admiration for this brave man, who in spite of their relentless 10 year campaign to destroy him, has not wavered but remained steadfast, with nothing but faith and honor as his strength and motivation.
Viva Rocky Amaral!
