BATTLES IN COURT: The McCanns now want ruling from European judges

 

MADELEINE McCann’s parents have been accused of spending money on legal fees instead of the hunt for their daughter.

 




Ex-detective Goncalo Amaral has called on the couple to reveal just how much they have spent on “court cases”.

 

And he said it was “thousands of pounds not spent on looking for their daughter”.

 

The McCanns sued the ex-Portuguese police officer over claims he made in a book about Madeleine’s disappearance.

 

The couple said his assertions stopped members of the public actively looking for her.

 
 

They were initially awarded £430,000 in libel damages.

 

But the judgment was overturned on appeal, a decision later ratified by Portugal’s Supreme Court.

 

The couple have now gone to the European Court of Human Rights to try to get the ruling overturned.

 

Madeleine vanished while on holiday in the Portuguese resort of Praia da Luz in 2007.

 

BOOK STORM: Amaral

 

VANISHED: Madeleine


Mr Amaral said it will not be his fault if the McCanns run out of cash, insisting he has never taken any legal action against them.

 

He told news website Portugal Resident.com that the couple should explain “how much money they have spent on lawyers’ fees”.

 

He added: “These were thousands of pounds not spent on looking for their daughter.”

 

Last night a spokesman for the McCanns, from Rothley, Leics, declined to comment.
