Maddie cops seek yet more cash

[Mr Gray]

I take it you're not offering any evidence to uphold your claims?

Leonor should have made an appeal to teh ECHR based on her beating....but she had no one to support her. we know there was no real evidence to convict her. Her trial ws an absolute disgrace imo...but off topic

[Miss Taken Identity]

I have evidence on which my claims are based. Are your claims based on evidence?

A second injunction succeeded in freezing Dr. Amaral's assets and income, denying him the opportunity to defend himself in court...

In April 2015, as the legal action dragged on and costs were becoming difficult to handle, an approach was made to the friends who created PJGA, suggesting that a GoFundMe page be launched to generate additional funds...

On 21 October 2015, when it was considered that sufficient funds had been raised, it was decided the GoFundMe page would be closed on 28 October 2015...

The group of friends and Mr Amaral himself remain eternally grateful for your support in allowing a man to defend himself in court and for justice to prevail.

Indeed!

My initial comparison was not about the McCann company fund it was about Kate doing a charity run for missing persons. Amaral got more money! to pay his legal fees to standup to the McCanns

It’s not a valid comparison.  Amaral’s fund was to benefit him directly (and supported by a small but fanatically devoted bunch of internet warriors) , so much more like the Madeleine Fund which was set up because of the huge donations that were sent in to the McCanns when Madeleine disappeared.  Kate’s run was to raise funds for a charity, not anyone specific, so far urgent or emotive.

You are trying to hijack this.  The comparison is:  the British public chose to support Amaral who was being pursued by the McCanns, as opposed to  less support for Kate McCann and her 'charity' run.

Which surprised me!  aswe are told that the majority love them and feel sorry for them- that is still to be proved.

You have completely missed the point and how does countering your illogical argument constitute “highjacking”?

Who has told you that “the majority love and support” Kate McCann?

You tried to claim Kate won one million pounds for her charity when I was making the comparison about charity run.

Check back to earlier days, posting on the forum was the gushing... and news papers telling their story... it was played out the sympathy of the public however, the public soon got sick of them as was seen when comments were allowed.

I did not try to claim that Kate won one million pounds for her charity, you are quite Miss Taken!

We've only heard from the monkey through the medium of a tabloid and now the silence is deafening.  I don't think there is much profit in placing too much reliance on that although it was interesting to get information about police searches not in the files to which we have access.

I think the good news is that Scotland Yard are not making any obvious preparation to let us know they are starting to wind down.  Quite the reverse if they are asking for continued funding to keep going.

To me, the continued funding is related to a real and honest attempt to find out what happened to Madeleine. Madeleine’s case may bring to the surface a context that may lead the way to other missing children cases. My view is that the person who took Madeleine, plays a small part in the whole. It might be that the person who took her, is already in custody and that s/he has no knowledge of where she might be.

I agree with that post Anthro;  In my opinion it is highly likely that Madeleine's case might have revealed other investigative opportunities widening its scope and which have had to be followed.
Like you I do not think Madeleine's case is being dealt with in isolation.

I think it is incredibly naive of some to think that nothing is happening just because we don't know what is going on.

As long as the police are requesting finance to continue their investigation they must have a valid reason for doing so, as well as being able to justify the request.

Well not if this is anything to go by from one of there own - the very people looking for her

Disgusting way they went about raising money for Amaral.   Stating 'Justice for Madeleine'  public were tricked into thinking Madeleine would be searched for in my opinion.  Even asking for money on Madeleine's birthday,  people must have thought it was helping Madeleine in some way.   Despicable.

Are you suggesting they couldn't read?

What I think is despicable is that you can cheer on the fund -

most people gave money thinking it was to find Maddie

Yet to me it seems it was for the mccs own use.


Yet you are disgusted what people did for GA - where is the justice in your thinking.

[Brietta]

Neither Madeleine's Fund nor Amaral's Fund have any locus as far as I know, in the Scotland Yard request for funding the continued and live investigation into Madeleine McCann's disappearance.

Please stick to the topic of the thread.  Thank you.
