Supreme Court rules against the McCanns in damages case.

[G-Unit]

Portugal will lose.   Tourists will go elsewhere.   They will lose in the court of public opinion.

I think not. It's a storm in a teacup to most people.

The McCann's could have silenced Amaral and had the book banned without the huge claim for damages.  That claim revealed the true reason for the case imo.

Don't be daft Robbie.  Do you really think the great British public give a hoot about who lost or won a court case in Lisbon?

It has put me off going there.  Too many strange decisions and behaviour of the police toward tourists.

There was the case "Portuguese police have allegedly failed to uncover the murder of an Australian woman who was found dead at her Algarve home in 2008, declaring it was suicide. The news emerged this week that an independent autopsy in her homeland said she had been the victim of a murder."

How could that be suicide?

A small group getting smaller by the day.

I'm not emotionally involved.  Just seeking the solution, and Amaral seems to be out of bounds using the suspicion of the Portuguese investigation as a solution without the actual charge been proved against the McCanns and their friends.

So tell me Rob, what about their activities after the event.  Do you agree that this should be investigated?

There is a story to tell but it wasn't Madeleine who died that night IMO.  What activities were you meaning exactly? 

[Robittybob1]

As I said there could be a story to tell.   It really amazed me that the hire car wasn't examined on the day that the villa was examined but they were allowed to do the trip to Huelva the next day and then the PJ say more mileage was clocked up on that trip.  It doesn't seem to make sense to me.
