If the McCanns haven't been cleared then neither has he, IMO.

I'm fairly certain he would be more than a little taken aback if you were to tell him he hadn't been cleared IMO

Isn’t bothered he hasn’t been cleared of involvement in Madeleine’s disappearance?  I think it’s far more likely he considers himself completely cleared of any involvement.

He sounds quite bothered in this interview and confirms what I suspected- he considers himself completely cleared of involvement

If a member of the investigation wrote a book on why the investigation decided  he should be made Arguido probably not an issue
