Madeleine McCann's parents lose libel case with the European Court of Human Rights

[The General]

Unless you are a mastermind and guilty to go down that route. However its also humanistic to protect your status of innocence. Hypothetically i would do the same. Ppl do tend to get mad when i cud imagine if accused of covering up ur daughters death, lucky they were doctors and not from a council estate eh? You never know what violence these stereotyped council estate nutters could do.

I do.

In a statement issued through their lawyers, they said: "We are naturally disappointed with decision of the European Court of Human Rights announced today.

"However, much has changed since we started legal proceedings 13 years ago against Mr Amaral, his publisher and broadcaster.

"We took action for one and only one reason: Mr Amaral's unfounded claims were having a detrimental impact on the search for Madeleine.

"If the public believed that we were involved in her disappearance, then people would not be alert for possible clues and may not report relevant information to the relevant law enforcement agencies.

"The focus is now rightly on the search for Madeleine and her abductor(s). We are grateful for the ongoing work by the British, German and Portuguese police. We hope that, with the help of the public, hard work and diligence we can eventually find those responsible for Madeleine's disappearance and bring them to justice."

Well, Wolters has messed that up for them hasn't he.

I mean, since he stated that Maddie is dead & Brueckner murdered her, I haven't bothered looking for her at all.
I did find a £2 coin whilst searching for the remote down the back of the sofa the other day though.

Makes one wonder exactly what has to be said or done in order to be considered defamatory.

We now know what isn't defamatory though.

The entire German nation stopped searching June '20.
Nobody noticed.

Is nobody concerned?   The black triangle only shows on pages 1 and 2 of this topic.   In other words where the ECHR translation shows.

It's just an expired certificate or some other minor issue.

Sadie, the McCanns lost, it’s on the BBC website.

I guess as soon as HCW is sacked he can write a bestselling book claiming CB dunnit even if the investigation  into the latter is dropped.  That’s his pension fund sorted anyway.

You think Brueckner will ever be charged?
Even Wolters can't see that happening.

The McCann's unfounded claim that Mr Amaral's unfounded claims were having a detrimental impact on the search for Madeleine may explain their initial actions. How do they justify continuing after that claim was dismissed by the court of the first instant I wonder?

What year did that happen?

[Rossb]

I do what?

[The General]

I do what?

That, My Dear, is your problem.
