Latest news on the search for Madeleine McCann

No it is there. I thought it must be as I wasn't here in 2011.

Do you mean on the website? They never took it off, but the paperwork held by Companies House shows it no longer applies.

I would say it depends on the date the action was started...any action started before that date is the responsibility of the fund

The Fund didn't sue Amaral, the McCanns did. If money is owed the courts will pursue them, not the Fund.

If and to what extent they decided at the time that they would fund it.

I fancy you might be getting carried away by tabloid nonesense in that what they need to pay are legal expenses, not damages.

I see.  The Tabloids know, do they.

Madeleine McCann probe police seek more cash
The Home Office is considering an application from Scotland Yard for extra funding to continue the hunt for the missing girl.

September 26 2018

 
Scotland Yard bosses have applied for more funding to continue the hunt for Madeleine McCann.

There was speculation over the future of the investigation when it emerged that funding would run out at the end of September.

But the Home Office has now confirmed that it is considering an application from the force for more cash.

In a blog published on Wednesday, it said: “We have received and are considering a request from the Metropolitan Police Service to extend funding for Operation Grange until the end of March 2019.

“The Home Office maintains an ongoing dialogue with the MPS regarding funding for Operation Grange.”

Madeleine was three when she was last seen on holiday with her parents in Praia da Luz in Portugal in May 2007.

Scotland Yard launched its own investigation, Operation Grange, into her disappearance in 2013 after a Portuguese inquiry failed to make any headway.

UK detectives were granted an extra £150,000 in March to continue the probe, to cover until the end of September.

Operation Grange has cost £11.6 million so far.

Have you seen the comments?  Not very supportive of the article or the McCanns.

The usual semi-literate and ignorant posts.
Quite depressing to see such poor spelling and grammar.
No doubt penned by the usual authors who rush to post their spite.
Some of them are unintentionally hilarious!

I note your sneering put down of the illiterates but it doesn't alter the message in the comments

And the "message" is aimed at whom?
Do these folk believe they are achieving anything by submitting these posts or do they just have the desire to repeat endlessly the same tripe each and every time there is an opportunity?

In my experience, Supporters don't bother to comment on these articles anymore.  I know I don't, because it's pointless.

I don't know, perhaps they want to annoy the supporters.
Judging by your response, they might just have done that

So as long as the investigation is continuing whoever needs catching won't strike again until they are either caught or the investigation closes,really?

I firmly believe that this was a one off event and will not repeated irrespective of whether anyone is brought to book for it.
