Sun's Nick Pisa refers to Gonçalo Amaral as a "Poisonous Liar".

[Angelo222]

Amaral has been described by the Sun as a poisonous liar... That really is, highly significant

There was a two day hearing in court last week in the case about the refusal of the government to implement the findings of the Levenson Inquiry. That headline in the Sun is a classic example if one were needed of what is wrong with MSM these days.

Yet when the press were printing allegations  against the McCann's you were fully supportive of the press...amaral is, free to sue.. But does he have a case

Did the press call the McCanns "liars" recently?

[Erngath]

Did the press call the McCanns "liars" recently?

Amaral has accused them of being liars.
Has he not?

[Mr Gray]

Did the press call the McCanns "liars" recently?

As I said... Amaral can sue... But if the press can show he has lied... He has no case... The press should be free to make such an accusation in this case... Amaral is free to sue... What's the problem

[Mr Gray]

Why are the sceptics not rejoicing  in the coming court case where amaral can humiliate the UK press

Inaccuracies;

Kate and Gerry McCann are currently challenging Goncalo Amaral at the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg to stop him from cashing in
The ECHR does't accept applications against individuals

They won the case in 2015 but the ruling was overturned on appeal — a decision upheld by Portugal’s Supreme Court. Amaral was awarded compensation.
The Portuguese courts did not award compensation to Amaral

The McCanns have gone to the ECHR in a final effort to avoid paying Amaral £750,000 in compensation.

If the McCanns owe this money it isn't compensation.

No way can Amaral sue ... and he must know that as he has a Court conviction for perjury.

But no inaccuracy imo in printing that he is a "  Poisonous Liar" ?

Sauce for The Goose is......etcetera.  At least in Portugal.  Or is this, "Free Speach, but only for Me?"

The Law of Unintended Consequences.

I don't know who is legally responsible for this farce.  Probably Portugal.  But they can't have it both ways.

Amaral won't sue, and I doubt that he ever intended to.

The rest of the article is accurate then?
Including the description of Amaral?

A favourable ruling will silence amaral

I have listed inaccuracies which can be proved to be inaccurate and therefore breach the Editor's Code agreed with IPSO. The description of Amaral is an opinion and any challenge would have to be made in the civil courts.

[Venturi Swirl]

If the Sun can call Amaral a poisonous liar then there should be no concern on this forum if any of us choose to refer to him in these terms, right?

[Eleanor]

A favourable ruling will silence amaral

Will it?  He will lose most of his money, and might not care any more.  But then neither will The McCanns,
