I don't suppose the parents are buoyed by their funds being depleted!

I do hope that the fund will be scrutinized by investigators.

One of the last matches I watched & liked [70's?] was real Real Madrid- Benfica. Eusebio and Di Stefano. Never to forget, but after that foot got dirty.
Poor Benfica nowadays then ....

The statement from KM and GM. Note: there is no 'spokesperson' to hide behind - have they all done a runner??

It is eight years since we brought the action and in that time the landscape has dramatically changed, namely there is now a joint Metropolitan Police-Policia Judiciaria investigation which is what we've always wanted.

Reading between the lines, are they acknowledging that they have lost public support and are about to be thrown to the wolves?

I wonder if the last part of the sentence, with regard to the joint investigation, should read: "which is what we have always dreaded."

Indeed! Is there any money left in The Fraud Fund?

I thought the Fund was set up to 'find Madeleine' who, according to her parents, has come to no harm? The public donated money to find Madeleine, not to pay the legal costs??

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/01/31/madeleine-mccanns-parents-lose-legal-appeal-claims-covered-daughters/

Madeleine McCann's parents could be sued by police chief who falsely accused them of covering up death
Kate and Gerry McCann could now face a large costs bill

Kate and Gerry McCann face being sued by the former Portuguese police chief who falsely accused them of covering up their daughter’s death.

The McCanns yesterday lost an appeal in Portugal’s highest court over damaging allegations in a book on the case by Goncalo Amaral, who initially led the investigation into Madeleine’s disappaearance ten years ago.

The couple initially successfully sued Amaral for libel over the book, The  Truth of the Lie, but the decision was overturned by another court in 2015.

In the latest round of their legal battle the couple have failed to have the original decision reinstated.

That raises the nightmare prospect of being sued by Amaral for damages.

Perhaps that's why OG was reduced to a handful of officers - they are just waiting for information from various financial institutions.

All speculation on my part.

If the accusations made in the book are false, then why have the McCanns lost the case?

bluebell wrote:Bit more from the Sun article above -     Yeah - too right !!

The appeal judges said Amaral’s right to express his opinions overruled any duty of confidentiality he had as an ex-police chief heading the Madeleine McCann investigation once the case files, made available on the Internet by Portuguese authorities, were put into the public domain.

Dr Amaral's opinions have been made on the basis of facts evolving from a thorough investigation including forensic evidence.

The McCann's theory is based on no evidence at all. Not one single piece of evidence that Madeleine was abducted from apartment 5A on Thursday evening by person/s unknown.

And the FACT that the McCanns were not prepared to seriously entertain any other scenario - at least in the first instance - other than abduction tends to suggest that they were following a script.

Demonstrating fraud is probably the only way of bringing them to court

Moral of the story,don't loose a child in unexplained circumstance,don't sue the copper who tried to find out what happened and finally have a clear understanding of the civil law in a foreign country before launching a legal action.

Whoop,whoop.

They were incredibly badly advised. I suppose bombastic Gerry considered he knew better and steamed ahead. Isabel happy to act for them as she gets paid win or lose, though she can say goodbye to that bonus Very Happy

How about a 10th anniversary meet-up in Luz?? For anyone interested...

I nearly went there last year as I know a couple who live there with their children. They know the Hubbards. I would love to talk to them more about the case and would be fascinated to walk along the streets which I have read so much about.

RIP Madeleine.... Crying or Very sad

I would be most surprised if the McCanns haven't syphoned off a few millions from the fund into various offshore accounts plus cash donations and book royalties that never made it into the fund at all. Weren't Metodo 3 experts in money laundering? I expect the McCanns have a nice little nest egg hidden away.

Perhaps that's why OG was reduced to a handful of officers - they are just waiting for information from various financial institutions.

Yes - agreed. But they might have to dip into the nest egg as surely the public have not been donating for quite some time and there have been some big legal fees?
