Thanks G.... yes very clear. The story is going down the bad portuguese are taking their search fund money off them road, please help. There doesn't seem to be a open 'comments' section, probably a typing error by staff.
It will be interesting to see the funds swell again, and how the money will be spent this time.
The UK public will now be able to read about Amaral and his thesis, and there is nothing the McCanns can do.
On another note; the public will also be aware, some newspaper will print it or say it, that 3 private detective companies costing milllions, one police force involved in initial investigation, then two police forces 'searchig' for clues as to what happened to little Maddie, one known costing over 13 million pounds have come up with NOTHING. So how many more millions do the family want or need to 'continue their search' and what is the prospect of them finding their daughter,how long and how much will it take and will the public support them. I don't think so. In fact I suspect a new story will appear- to explain what may have happened.
