Kate and Gerry McCann v Gonçalo Amaral

Kate and Gerry McCann v Gonçalo Amaral

The money grabbing McCanns are at it again. According to the Daily Mirror, the McCanns claim that they are, in relation to Gonçalo Amaral, so TORN APART BY HIS LIES that they have issued a writ for defamation and breach of their human rights and claim £1M in damages and the case is to be heard in Lisbon next Summer.

Apparently, the McCanns claim that Gonçalo Amaral's accusations that they are responsible for Madeleine's death and then covering it up has left them distraught. The writ claims that both the McCanns suffer from "permanent anxiety, insomnia, lack of appetite, irritability and an indefinable fear". It also claims that Kate McCann is "steeped in a deep and serious depression".

According to the biased Daily Mirror report, it is said that Gonçalo Amaral's theory is absurd that Madeleine died in Apartment 5A and that the McCanns covered it up. However, I find his theory far from absurd. What I find absurd are the McCanns explanations and their belief that everybody should believe their lies.

The writ accuses Amaral of being a self-obsessed, manipulative money-grabber with no morals. Isn't this just a case of the McCanns pot calling kettle black?

Strangely, "Madeleine is named with Kate and Gerry and the twins as a complainant in the lawsuit". I don't know about Portuguese law, but under English law a dead person is unable to be defamed therefore cannot bring a claim. As for the McCanns claiming that the twins have been defamed and that their human rights are being breached is absurd!

According to the McCanns writ, "Madeleine has been deprived of the possibility of a fair and adequate investigation into her disappearance, putting her moral and physical integrity at serious risk". Given that the McCanns from the outset interfered with the official investigation, this claim is a bit rich coming from them. Can somebody please tell me how it is possible to put the moral and physical integrity of a 3 year old dead child at serious risk?

The writ goes on to claim that the McCanns have been "totally destroyed from a moral, social, ethical, emotional and family point of view, beyond the pain that the absence of their eldest daughter causes them". What is moral and ethical about leaving 3 children under 4 unsupervised and then lying about a fake break-in?

The McCanns claim Amaral's "sole objectives" in writing the book were "to earn a lot of money", using "lies". Again this is a bit rich coming from the McCanns who's sole purpose of setting up the Find Madeleine Fund was to earn a lot of money by telling lies.
