Gerry McScam greets the money grabbing lawyers as they prepare to milk the findmadeleinefundThe McCanns try to steal money from the findmadeleinefund
"McCanns in plan to use £1m 'Find Madeleine' fund to help clear their name"
This takes the biscuit. The McCanns are planning to steal money from the findmadeleinefund to pay for the lawyers fees to defend themselves against the charges that they killed Madeleine. I remember when Gerry McCann first said he was going to start a fighting fund, I wondered why because it is normally only political parties and campaign groups who need a fighting fund. Now we know what was behind it all along. He said he was setting it up to give people who wanted to help a way of doing so financially, to make them feel better. I bet they are feeling sick now at hearing this. "Mr McCann said: "It seems like a disaster that we've got this huge donated fund and now we're not allowed to use it for legal costs because we're under suspicion. I never really imagined we'd be in this situation". The Madeleine Fund's main objective is to "secure the safe return of Madeleine".
But it also allows for the provision of support, including "financial assistance". If he never imagined he would be in this position why insert the clause which allows them to dip into it to try and save their skins?
I hope that somebody or the government mounts a legal challenge to freeze the fund to stop it being abused in this manner.
