Just to say that Bunny's thread has not been whoosh-clunked - its been merged with the other Murat versus Tanner thread :)

by Cath 19.02.10 15:42

how convenient.

It appears from Mitchell interview that it may be going ahead.

by Cath 19.02.10 16:28

He's said he's not going to comment on what Mr Murat or his legal advisors are doing.
recorded and broadcast by Channel4 yesterday???

So he didn't confirm or deny it.

by vaguely1 19.02.10 16:35

No confirmation no denial. Just my take on it.

What he did confirm, is that identification of Murat is not in the police files......be interesting to see find out what is happening.

by Cath 19.02.10 16:52

Well as long as Mr Murat or his lawyer don't open their mouth, I guess we won't know what's happening.

i don't think anyone knew that he had sued the papers till the payout was announced.

by Cath 19.02.10 16:59

There's been loads of speculations about that before the payout was announced.

by vaguely1 19.02.10 17:00

about three months before.

but that was a UK case.

also we could all see clearly why he was doing it, and the evidence that he's been libelled.

by aiyoyo 20.02.10 9:00

The fact that CM saw fit to come out and deny JT identified Murar, as well as commented on certain things in itself is an indication of a pre-empt of something.

by Cath 20.02.10 9:14

He was asked a question, to which he replied.
I think it's premature to jump to conclusions because of that.

What will this do To the Foundation's new Plans for a Robert Murat article??

by whoknowsthetruth 22.02.10 10:23

Anywy if Murat was suing Tanner, it would have to be in this country.

From the Público newspaper article there are 5 actions being taken against 5 Portuguese media outlets. Confirmed by Pagarete, Murat's lawyer there is a criminal action, at inquest phase and under judicial secrecy, against Jane Tanner. As per the Daily Express, three other Tapas members are also being a target of a criminal complaint.

So, really confirmed by Murat's lawyer there are 6 actions, one against JT and 5 other, which we don't know if they are separated or jointed, against 5 different Portuguese media outlets. That is all that we know as confirmed.

The 3 other Tapas, though printed in the Express article, might be or not also a target of a complaint, however given that on the second Público newspaper article Pagarete states:«Why did the McCanns’ three friends lie, saying that they had seen him there [Ocean Club] on that night”» we can assume that those three persons are likely being also a target of criminal complaint for calumny, like Jane Tanner.

Thanks for that Autumn, this is very interesting, and if it goes to trial, could open a huge can or worms. The Tapas lot would have to say why they identified R Murat as being there, which could hardly be a mistake, if others did the same. I just wonder how long this would take to come to trial?

There were other people who said they saw him that night, why are they being left out ?

Probably for a similar reason why the McCanns and their friends only sued some newspapers and not others.

Does anyone know the present state of affairs?

Is this matter still pending and has a court date been set?

by Gillyspot 24.02.12 21:40

As far as I know what you have read is all. Of course with the McCann case you can never be certain though if anything has happened or not.

by Clouseau 24.02.12 21:55

why not ask Keir ( knobjockeyherbert) Simmons he was the one who confirmed the case was going ahead ....... Robert Murat versus Jane Tanner? - Page 4 742129
