1. Goncalo Amaral wrote book claiming missing toddler had died in accident
2. McCanns told court they were left 'devastated and crushed' by the book
3. The couple also accuse Amaral of hampering the search for their daughter

A former Portuguese detective has been ordered to pay £75,000 to Kate and Gerry McCann after a long-running libel trial, it was reported today.
Police chief Goncalo Amaral ran the initial investigation into the disappearance of Madeleine McCann in Portugal in 2007.
He then went on to write a book in which he claimed the toddler had died in an accident in Praia da Luz and had not been abducted.

I don't trust these parents. the social services should keep an eye on them.

Still don't believe them

Its a victory for common sense and decency and one in the eye to all the conspiracy theory merchants and those who do not wholly blame the perp who abducted the poor wee girl.

where is the actual proof that there even was a "perp" though, it's only a theory as there is no evidence to back that up.

now now neem this is a celebration of justice thread not "armchair detective"

You must at least be pleased the McCanns have been suitably compensated as they need that money for more publicity?

Well, at best these two are extremely neglectful parents and no they shouldn't be rewarded for that

Bet they are rubbing their hands with glee,something not good about those two,they should have been done for neglect at least,anyone else would have been

disgraceful parents

fancy meeting you here!

:hehe:

Just about everything, seems to be about money with these 2.

Bloody Hell.... More news coverage and press exposure for this slimy dubious couple.

Will this story ever go away".....??

Great news. It was outrageous this man made money from a book claiming all kinds of things with no evidence and yet people have quoted the book on this forum to prove their point! Another court has come down in favour of the McCanns, how many more courts will have to do the same? No one could say they didn't do the wrong thing that night and they have to live with the consequences forever. No amount of money will bring their daughter back. As for the story not going away, well no. Let's hope it doesn't. The McCanns always said they will do everything to keep Madeleine's name in the press, and I'm sure most parents in a similar awful position would do the same.

:clap1:

I think most people have lost the will to care about this story. It's endless press coverage with a different take on what may have happened that night.

But it's obvious when you really examine this story, really look into the evidence that something is extremely fishy about the official story.

It's been debated so many times on here and we are no further forward in finding out the truth about what really happened to that poor little girl.

I pray one day the real events of that night are finally made known , instead of this constant drip fed nonsense which helps no one and takes us no further forward in actually finding out what happened to Madeleine.

Overturned...

My god, what a never-ending cycle.

:clap1: brilliant!

Apparently they will appeal to the supreme court, but I'm not sure how far they will get.

I wonder if their 'assets' will now be frozen the way Amarals have been for years :S

In my view, good this has been the result.

both sides are a disgrace

Great news

Amaral to sue the McCanns now too apparently :laugh:

This is never going to end, mind I can see his point of view here completely. Don't think this will get far though really...not many people I know see him as the guy who 'bungled' the investigation...anything but, he seems to be upheld as the only one willing to actually look at ALL possibilities.

the mccanns bungled the investigation

Yep
