Do you intend to sue Gonçalo Amaral?

From the McCann's Expresso Interview on Video : 6th September 2008

Q – Former inspector Gonçalo Amaral remains convinced of your involvement in Madeleine’s disappearance. Did you read ‘The Truth of the Lie’, the book that he wrote?

Kate and Gerry – No.
Kate – Why would I?
Gerry – I won’t learn anything from reading it.

Q – It was a success in Portugal.
Gerry – Was it? How many copies did it sell?

Q – Approximately 200 thousand. Next week, it is edited in Spain.
Gerry – That is what can be called illicit enrichment.

Q – Your English lawyers already have a translated copy and they are analyzing it. Do you intend to sue Gonçalo Amaral?

Gerry – At this moment we are focused on what we can do to find Madeleine and not in suing anyone.
Kate – All that I am going to say about this – because I’m not going to waste any time on Mr Amaral – is that as a professional and as a person his behaviour has been a disgrace.

Q – Aren’t you curious to know what the book says?

Kate – What for? It must be nothing but a load of rubbish. It is so secondary… It certainly won’t help to find our daughter. My consolation is that on the cover he calls her Maddie, the name that the media have invented. We never called her anything like that.

Interesting they are saying in September 2008 they had no intention of suing Amaral yet on our website here

"Libel action was threatened in July 2008 when Mr Amaral published his book but it didn’t get under way until the McCanns served a writ in June or July 2009

Just heard on twitter that the McCann V Amaral libel trial is going to happen in Lisbon in September.

We won't be hearing about this one on the news obviously because they now fear they may LOSE.

What's the betting that sending tweets from inside the courtroom will be banned this time.

According to this tweet, the libel trial in mid September....................

Most interesting that it is all over twitter but NOTHING in the UK or Portuguese google news about it! Now why would that be Hmm

I cannot wait to see what comes out in September. Last time round we got the Lee Rainbow little nugget. It's bound to be something much bigger this time round by Team Amaral. Do you intend to sue Gonçalo Amaral? 181154

I am starting to burn candles now......

I can just see Team MCann trying to get all mobile phones banned from the courtroom.

I hope the Portuguese legal system tells them to get stuffed.

A whole contingent of journalists following the mccanns to Lisbon must be waiting for the mccanns circus to commence.

It would be interesting to see how many bunny ID hopes to pull out of her hat; and I bet she cant get the court exclusive to them only despite her cunningness.
