However, the company's contract will now not be renewed. The Mail on Sunday has learned that double-glazing tycoon Brian Kennedy, who has been underwriting the fund's search for Madeleine, has conducted a review of the agency's work and has become unhappy with the progress it was making.

The deal was abruptly ended following a meeting last week after the fund brought in independent monitors to assess how the money was spent.

The cost of employing the agency - run by a Briton, Kevin Halligen - has drained the Madeleine fund and there is now less than £500,000 left.

The development is likely to dismay the thousands who gave to the appeal, and raise questions about how the fund has been administered.

Mr Kennedy, who owns Sale Sharks rugby club, was said to be 'angry' because he believed Oakley's bills, estimated to be more than £80,000 a month, were too much for the results they achieved.
Hi kitti, I kept the evidence , but can't copy and paste it here. Metodo 3 were interviewed by ABCes , I think it's part of the Guardian Group and said they did not receive the money quoted in the British Press but only E16,000 plus E4,000 for six months work.

A source said: 'There is a sense that they were meaning well but hadn't got as far as they should for the money involved.

'Brian Kennedy thought their work was far too pricey and wanted to know where the money was being spent. He wasn't satisfied with their answers and the contract was not renewed.

'Madeleine's parents, Gerry and Kate, have been kept informed all along and agree with the decision. A lot of people were asking questions about where the money was being spent.'

Oakley International won the contract after an introduction by another company, Red Defence International (RDI), based in Jermyn Street, Central London.

Yes, although it was formed as a Private Company all the money initially, almost £2 million in the first year was public donations.However, here comes the nasty bit, all the Directors took out some liability clause which states if the Company goes bankrupt the Directors liability is £1 !! The fact that the Company paid Kennedy instead of the Detectives when he wasn't an Officer of the Company is suspect but the Company Directors can be sued for negligence because they did not put in any Capital. I remember a Member whose avatar was a black dog , can't remember her name but T4two knows who I mean. She said the money went into one of Kennedy's many accounts and was moved every 24 hrs to make it untraceable, he then Laundered it and took a commission and the balance probably ended up in an offshore account for the McCanns.

That's interesting, Panda.
Lets hope SY are having a good luck at the 'fund'.
They wouldn't need Portuguese approval for that, would they as it was all done from over here?

They won't be able to sue Halligen as he lives in the USA, mind you, a few nice holidays to the USA for the mccanns to try lol....off course, it's to speak to the missing people centre NOT to sue.
