But that is the difference. It had been claimed that the McCanns had been cleared which was not the case.

They weren't 'cleared', because they were never charged, and therefore never in need of being 'clearedl'.

More accurately, they were unjustly accused, on the back of no evidence (of any wrong-doing, including that their checking-arrangements were deemed to pass muster legally).

[Mr Gray]

You seem to have a problem understanding today. 
Davel asked Miss Taken to name a police officer that she claims told her something
She then replied:
"Naming names is not my style, especially to the baying, fang flashing, supporters who froth at the mouth when they happen to find a new 'victim' to blame for Madeleine's disappearance."
It's obvious (though clearly not to you) that she is referring to Davel, and by extension the rest of us on this forum.  What are you going to do about it?  Nothing I suppose.  I guess I will just have to report it and get a proper moderator to sort it out.

It's ok Alf
I think most sensible people can see exactly what mistaken is

[stephen25000]

you would have to know when the decision was taken to investigate an abduction...the remit emerged some 6 months agter the start of the review so i would say the mccanns were investigated...you might disagree

Perhaps you can provide citations for when SY interviewed then.

Obviously,, those in Portugal, including Murat were exposed to the media spotlight.

[slartibartfast]

so in your opinion she is not trying to be in any way insulting or goading to Davel, or other supporters on here, is that your belief?

Yes, people when posting on here don't do that.

If they hadn't said they had been cleared it wouldn't have been brought in at the SC. Once they decided to state what they believed to be their "legal" status it behoved the SC to correct that error.

What is their legal status then?

[slartibartfast]

BTW responses consisting purely of emoticons are frowned on, please don't do it.

[slartibartfast]

What is their legal status then?

They have a presumption of innocence but have not been cleared according to the SC.

Why not just do it ,old stick, and forget all the old song and dance.

I think the appeal court judges have caused a constitutional crisis for Portugal.  The Republic's constitution is quite clear regarding the recognition and legality of European of laws to which Portugal is a signatory.

The judges have just driven a coach and horses right through European human rights legislation.

Maybe, maybe not.
I would sure love to see the "workings" behind you conclusions though.
Quoting relevant laws and clauses of course otherwise it's not telling us much
