Maddie: anger at TV Leak -McCanns gutted by Maddie cop’s show: Bid to halt a UK version on web

Maddie anger at TV leak - what's that all about then?

Considering legal action....... again??

Looks like it's about the 'Truth of the Lie' doc that was translated in English and appeared on the internet.... Albeit ages ago.

That will direct more people to watch it then.

Great stuff

What is the TV connection please. Googled the DStar but can't find the article.

I thought the book and the documentary were both dealt with in the court case, as a whole,  I always thought it was 3, the publisher, the documentary maker and Goncalo who were on trial.

It'll be whoever translated it English..... I very much doubt TVI (I think they were called) did that....

Bloody hell that was nine years ago, short on funds then?

Any chance of a link for this.... cant find it!!

There isn't one as yet. Just what it says on the small print on the front page....

It was my assumption that it was related to the translated version of the video, The Truth of the Lie.

I could be wrong

I mean for the front page....

CF has posted a picture of the Star's front page on the opening post.

Are you on a phone or something as it might not come up.... I don't know.

How can they sue the translator of a film where the finished item was available for free on the internet? I'm not aware it was ever shown on TV.

I might've put 2 and 2 together and come up with 5..... So perhaps best to wait til the full story comes out...

Although can't think what else it would be...

I mean even for the front page image there must be a link!?... you know how important they are Andrew...I can't find the image anywhere...

@bampots - if you can't see the image pasted on the opening post then try this link:

Here's a better link for you, Bampots:

Isn't this just an article to remind and point their fickle readership to a YouTube video of GA's thesis?

Very definitely. The only thing missing is the URL of the youtube video... :-D

Well done that man that was naughty of you Jerry, and so unhelpful to plug the documentary. you can't tell me He didn't know it was in English for about 8 years or so!

MADELEINE McCann’s parents were last night considering legal action over a TV show about their missing daughter.

By Jerry Lawton / Published 16th February 2017

The programme appeared on the internet in English after the couple spent nine years trying to ban it.

It was made in Portugal to accompany ex-detective Goncalo Amaral’s controversial book about the three-year-old’s 2007 disappearance.

In it Mr Amaral, 57, repeats claims about events in the Algarve resort of Praia da Luz.

Parents Kate and Gerry launched a legal bid for a lifelong gagging order on the show and book, and £1million in libel damages.

The couple, both 48, who believe their daughter was abducted and may still be alive, said his claim she was dead had hampered the search.

Both the programme and book were outlawed, and in 2015 Mr Amaral was ordered to pay them 500,000 euros (£430,000) in damages by a Portuguese judge.

But the award was overturned, and both the book and a DVD of the show are back in circulation.

The McCanns have been ordered to pay Mr Amaral’s legal costs, which could wipe out the fund set up to find their daughter.

He is said to be seeking a British publisher to release his book in the UK for the first time.

Now the TV show has appeared on YouTube with an English voice-over.

Last night the McCanns’ lawyers, London libel specialists Carter-Ruck, were considering legal action.

The couple’s spokesman said: “Any potentially defamatory material found online will be reviewed and assessed by Kate and Gerry’s lawyers.”

During their legal battle against Mr Amaral one of the McCanns’ lawyers, Ricardo Correia Afonso, said in court: “His book is written like a novel and that’s exactly what it is.’’

No mention of the couple being furious or seething, but I bet they are

The documentary got very little mention over the last few weeks (if at all?), so it's a great piece from Jerry L to direct the average Joe to the 'much easier to understand' video. Especially for Daily Star readers and the ilk.

Brilliant.

Been all over the net in English for years, what's the problem, on nearly every blog and forum.
