It is understood that Kate and Gerry McCann are now considering suing Halligen for allegedly fleecing their fund

A dodgy “detective” accused of conning £300,000 from the Madeleine McCann fund is being kicked out of the US – and could now face justice in Britain.

Kevin Halligen was extradited to America five months ago over claims he cheated former business partners out of £1.3million.

Yesterday the 51-year-old admitted wire fraud in a deal with prosecutors in Washington DC.

He will be freed from jail next month, due to time he has already served, then deported.

It is understood that Kate and Gerry McCann are now considering suing Halligen for allegedly fleecing their fund.

He could also be arrested if the couple make a formal complaint.

In 2008, Halligen’s company Oakley International signed a £500,000 deal to help find missing Madeleine.

But the Surrey-based Irishman’s contract was terminated early without full payment after fund organisers decided he had failed to fulfil the agreement.

He was then arrested in Oxford in November 2009 after fleeing Washington when the US government began seeking an indictment over the wire fraud.

A source said: “Halligen would con his own grandmother he is that ruthless.

"The fact he gave the McCanns false hope and took so much money is unforgivable.”

In Washington federal court yesterday Halligen admitted persuading the Dutch company Trafigura to send £1.3million to his personal account in 2006.

Halligen told the court he bought a luxury six-bedroom house with some of the money.

It was supposed to be used to help free two of the company’s executives who were being held in the Ivory Coast on charges of dumping toxic waste.

Halligen will be sentenced on June 27 and, under the deal, freed and deported.

so is he coming home to the UK. anyone know?

"May" sue. "Considering" action.

Fluffy. Worthless. Words.

oh Iris I know that. I want to know what Halligen knows, if anything.

Excellent iris. Those fluffy, worthless words will come back to haunt someone soon.

"MAY SUE" here we go again! 

Why don't they just shut up, they really don't no when to keep there mouths shut do they.....on and on and on, nothing seems to shut these two up! 🚔

I hope and pray that Halligen turns it on them, and sues them for harassment and slander  

They should sue Kennedy.....HE hired them.

Kitti he is long gone, also he is to wealthy, has loads more money, they only go for the old, skint folk 

Why can't those who contributed to the 'fund' sue the McCanns?

There is a video snip of Clarence when Halligen was jailed in the U.K. being asked by a Reporter if the McCanns will sue for the £300,000 they gave to Halligen . Clarence looked a bit annoyed and said "the case is closed". That was 2 years ago so if they intended to sue Halligen why didn't they do it while he was in HM Prison?

Halligen is Northern Irish, I suspect he will go abroad when he is released , I also suspect somewhere down the line that the Everest Double glazing guy is involved and used the fund for his own purposes. Remember I told you recently that I had asked SY if they have interviewed Halligen while he was in Jail and they replied that they could not comment....10 days later he was flown to the U.S. !!!!!! Maybe this is another chink of light.
