I dont see any defamation in the article...thats my opinion of course

... And most certainly not when some unsubstantiated assertions of dead convicted paedophiles are flying around the tabloids. Yet again.

It won't be long before some hack decides to try to amalgamate all the rumours, plus names, into a new lucrative exclusive. It certainly wouldn't be the first time.

I suspect that the only reason that CdaM chose to ignore a certain rumour is because the lady in question is Portuguese and, if SIL's info is correct, still lives there. I very much doubt that avoiding a certain rumour would have been an editorial issue if the person had been British. IMO.

No, I doubt that the article could be considered defamatory, unless it could be understood that she was evading the police for some nefarious reason.

It would be interesting if now that she knows via the tabloids that Scotland Yard may be scouring Europe for her she gets in touch with the authorities as per Davel's suggestion, to find out what it is they want to know.

On the other hand she may not recognise herself from the information in the tabloids or she may already have been re-interviewed by the PJ and passed on whatever information she may or may not have.

This woman is a Portuguese National who was ruled out by the PJ in 2007. She was only a witness and not a suspect. Her husband was also ruled out as never left the tapas kitchen all night. This woman in purple is fake news imo.

Near the McCann apartment is the main problem.  Anyone hanging around there needs investigating IMO.

She was interviewd way back was she not?

I agree but the question should be put to Heri in a civil way as to why he chose to inform a newspaper.  I would also be interested to know if he informed SY of the information in advance of the media, whether they advised the information should not be made public and if he received a fee for his story from any media organization.

I've asked Heri twice whether he was paid for his story. The posts were removed both times.

If we are to accept that it was a planned snatch then that would cover anyone in the area over a period of six days.
