So, on a day when people new to the case might be Googling Amaral's fund after reading the "news", it disappears from Google.

OK.

#mccann

I posted this morning that I can't get gofundme  I have also tried the link but again nothing. Can anyone help, do I have to use a different search engine?

Doesn't this link at the top of scrolling bar work Costello, it works ok for me.

Otherwise use Yahoo, apparently that brings it up.

The problem is Google. They've removed the go fund me site from search results,but not references to it, so you can see that it exists but can't click on a link to get to it. I'd love to know why they've done it

An anonymous group of Portuguese “business and legal workers” have ploughed over €11,000 (£8000) into the online appeal set up by a young single mother to raise money for beleaguered ex-Maddie cop Gonçalo Amaral. Amaral’s appeal against the €600,000 in damages awarded against him in the civil case taken out by the parents of missing Madeleine is due to be decided by Lisbon’s Appellate Court “any day now”.

The cash boost has brought the Legal Defence for Gonçalo Amaral to over €65,000 (£47,010).

Donated in the Portuguese language, the text claims to be from “an anonymous group of business and legal workers who are appalled by what has happened”.

It continues: “Portugal and Britain are old allies, but the McCanns and the British gutter press have tried to drive a wedge between us.

“We can all see what they are trying to do, freezing Dr Amaral’s assets to prevent him from defending himself, whilst using the donated millions to sue him.

“That is not justice. It is not right.

“The McCanns lost five out of the seven issues, but the British press has not reported that, nor the strong terms used by the judge against their so called ‘evidence’.

“They have to pay 60% of the costs, but the British press has not reported that” either, the text continues, stressing that “this small donation is to ensure that this act of hate and venom does not succeed”.

The donation - arriving in the legal fund in two chunks on Tuesday morning - has been widely shared on social media where a veritable avalanche of support for Amaral has accompanied him for the past eight years. But so far it has been ignored by the British mainstream media.

As to the former PJ detective’s appeal against the ruling that effectively orders him to pay the McCann’s over €600,000 in damages, that is advancing now through the Appellate Court in Lisbon.

As a friend of the former detective’s explained, “it is not a public process. There is no court date.

“At some point, the judges reach a verdict and then they communicate that verdict to all parties. There is however no deadline. It may take weeks or months until we hear anything”.

I think PJGA, or whoever is now running this appeal perhaps need to speak to Go Fund Me, as the website is helping itself to a percentage of every donation made and - as we all know - that total is now very close to £50,000. It seems rather hypocritical of them to take people's money while at the same time making it very difficult for them to donate in the first place. What kind of business are they running? And what would the level of donations be if they afforded Goncalo Amaral the same level of service they give others on their website?

Google stops linking to the site, GoFundMe utter some gobbledegook about needing a facebook page for the search to work on their site (been working fine for the last few weeks since Leanne withdrew, hmm?)  and the fund blasts through £50K.... nah not buying it.

THREE conincidences mean what, Kate?

I just don't see Google risking reputation their reputation for the sake of a couple of doctors and £50k Fund and it doesn't matter who they are connected to.  Could you imagine if Google swiped stuff every time a VIP found themselves in hot water, it is just not practical.  Google are a global corporation, their ideals are based on philanthropy, the sharing of information, they wouldn't give in to Jim Gamble when he was head of CEOP, can't see them doing it now.  


The McCanns make us believe they are far more important than they actually are.  They are important of course, but not in the sense that they want to be.  The people who helped them in the past are no longer in positions of power.  Blair has gone, Brown has gone, and the aging others are going to be on the other side of house for the next 5 years.  

Heads will have to roll of course, but I'm sure they will find ways and means in which to use a State Secret law to the get the higher ups off the hook.  Same cannot be said for those closer to the scene.  It would be a bit embarrassing now if all those experts and professionals had to explain how they were so completely taken in.
