Kate McCann admits in her book that private criminal investigations in Portugal were illegal.

[Mr Gray]

The mccanns broke the law.

It's quite clear cut.

you have absolutely no evidence for that ...just forum gossip

What a short memory you have, or is that comment of yours , just plain stupid ?

[Mr Gray]

wheres the evidence

[Mr Gray]

In her book called Madeleine, Kate McCann admits that the employing of private investigators to undertake investigations in Portugal was 'technically illegal'.   Given that this renders the McCanns technically criminal by their own admission are they really so different from Amaral?

do you have the exact quote from the book

[Mr Gray]

The mccanns broke the law.

It's quite clear cut.

so you just made this up..total BS from stephen as usual

[Mr Moderator]

From Madeleine.

"Our first investigators, the Spanish company Método 3, began working for us in October. With private investigations technicaly ilegal in Portugal, we felt the closest we could get would be a firm from somewhere on the Iberian Peninsula, which would have the advantage of familiarity with local systems, culture and geography and the best network of contacts in the region."

Thanks...so just as I expected Kate did not admit to technically breaking the law...what a load of rubbish as usual

[sadie]

The only difference I can see is that Amaral was prosecuted and the McCanns haven't which sort of undermines the whole point of having laws at all in Portugal if they are going to pick and choose.

How does this sudden feeling that the Mccanns broke the Law with their searching / investigations fit in with all your going on that they should have given up their life in the UK and become roving searchers / investigators themselves. [Private Investigators themselves]

You avowed several time that YOU would have done just that.  To have given up your life in the UK and have searched (= privately investigated) the length and breadth of PT until you found her ...  or what had happened to her. 

You would have NEVER given up, you avowed.




Some inconsistencies here, Angelo ?  Really MAJOR ones

Before you make a fool of yourself yet again davel who employed Metodo 3 to undertake illegal activities?

Who knew fool well that employing a firm of Spanish investigators to work on a criminal case in Portugal was illegal?

We all know the answer to the above but the question I would like answered is this.  Who instructed Metodo 3 to arrange legal representation for Leonor Cipriano,the only purpose of such being to undermine Amaral?

So private Investigations were illegal if The Mccanns did them, but if you personally did them (and John) then they were ok?

So you were prepared to break the Law?



Where is your consistency, Angelo?

Its you making a fool of yourself.. the mccanns are guilty of nothing....what exactly was the nature of the contract between the mccanns and what investigations did metodo 3 carry out in Portugal..thats before I ask you the precise details of the portuguese law

[faithlilly]

Whether Angelo would gave chosen to break the law of not is not the issue, it is the fact that the McCanns assuredly did.

It is illegal to undertake private investigations in a criminal case while official investigations are ongoing. The McCanns knew this but went ahead anyway.  What does that tell us about them?

no they didn't..,..see my post above..
