Subject to seeing a full translation, arguably pursuing this case to the Supreme Court has resulted in significantly more "damage" than anything in the book which could be dismissed as opinion, supposition etc. It is difficult to spin what appears to be an unambiguous statement from the highest court approaching a significant anniversary when it is perhaps more newsworthy.

MCCANNS 'NOT IN THE CLEAR' Removal of Kate and Gerry’s ‘formal suspect’ status does not mean they are innocent in disappearance of daughter Madeleine McCann, judges say


Portugal’s Supreme Court has cast doubt over the parents of missing Madeleine once again - claiming there are 'serious concerns' in abduction theory

KATE and Gerry McCann face fresh heartache after judges said they had not been cleared over daughter Madeleine’s disappearance.

Portugal’s Supreme Court has said the removal of their “arguido” — or formal suspect — status should not be “equated to proof of innocence”.
The country’s most senior judges claimed the investigation into them was only shelved in 2008 because of a lack of evidence.

And they said there were “serious concerns” over the theory that Madeleine had been abducted from their Ocean Club apartment in Praia da Luz, in May 2007.

The comments were made in the Supreme Court’s 76-page dossier after handing victory to ex-detective Goncalo Amaral in an ongoing libel case last week.

The McCanns got Amaral’s book The Truth of the Lie banned and sued for libel after he alleged they faked Madeleine’s abduction to cover up the then three-year-old’s death.

But he is writing a second book about Madeleine’s disappearance — and the McCanns have said they will sue again if it is published in Britain.

Kate and Gerry, both 48, were made arguidos in September 2007. But their status was lifted in July 2008 when Portuguese police archived the investigation.
The Supreme Court is Portugal’s highest court but has no criminal authority. It published its ruling yesterday.

Judges added their job was not to decide if the McCanns bore any criminal responsibility over Madeleine’s disappearance.
And they said it would be wrong to draw any inferences about the couple’s guilt or innocence from their ruling.

Kate and Gerry, of Rothley, Leics, did not want to respond to the judges’ findings last night.

A spokesman said: “It’s entirely a matter for their lawyers.”

Many thanks to "cherry1" and WOW! "Portugal's Supreme Court has cast doubt over the parents of missing Madeleine McCann ONCE AGAIN" also "serious concerns in abduction theory" and "doesn't mean they are innocent".

By WOW I mean this is actually in the UK Sun. I have to believe the papers are aware of the official files and are just as anxious to expose the McCanns and their involvement in Madeleine's disappearance instead of regurgitating what the McCann "sources" feed them. I have to believe Madeleine will receive justice some day - I just hope I live long enough to see it.

wow indeed, the tide is most certainly turning, a lot of seething in Rothley tonight and wonder when they will wheel out Clarrie

They certainly won't be buoyed up tonight.

The DM coverage: "Fresh anguish for Madeleine McCann's parents as Portuguese supreme court insists they HAVEN'T been cleared of wrongdoing over their daughter's death". That's right, the Daily Mail article says "DEATH", not 'abduction' or even 'missing' ........ "DEATH".

No wonder there has been no response from the McCanns.

Before turning in for the night, I'm reminding myself if Mr. Amaral had given up, we wouldn't be seeing these headlines. All honour to him!!!

Amen to that interested.

At last maybe the truth will come out. Never give up! This forum has been the only sane platform in all this tragic story,

UK media rounds on Supreme Court ‘shock’ that McCanns “have not been proved innocent”

UK tabloids - which for so long have been so ‘anti-Portuguese’ in their reporting of the Madeleine McCann mystery - are changing their tune following publication of the Supreme Court judgement which stressed that parents Kate and Gerry McCann have not been proved innocent in the context of their daughter’s disappearance (click here).

Media sources in touch with the Resident warn: “The tide is turning in UK. Did you know that Panorama was in Luz last week? Tell your readers to batten down, they’re all coming”.

The Sun, the Mirror, the Daily Mail began the day leading with hurtful headlines.

Curiously, the Daily Mail’s “Portuguese court says Madeleine McCann’s parents HAVEN’T been cleared” (with large capital letters for the word haven’t) was later changed to: “Fresh anguish for Madeleine McCann's parents as Portugal's supreme court insists they haven't been proved innocent over their daughter's death”.

But the thrust of the story is busily steaming its way through the English-speaking mainstream while the McCann couple themselves, and their representatives, must be considering a response with care.

Says the Mail: “A spokesperson for the McCann’s did not want to respond to request for comment last night”, while the Mirror - running with the story under “Kate and Gerry McCann ‘not formally in the clear’ over daughter Madeleine’s disappearance” says the Supreme Court ruling “means suspicion still hangs over the heads of the McCanns, who have always claimed their innocence”.

Another cloud highlighted by the ruling is the fact that there remain “serious concerns relating to the truth that Madeleine was kidnapped” (Daily Mail today, as well as Portuguese papers, quoting directly from the 76-page text).

For Praia da Luz - the holiday village perennially dragged into the spotlight over this almost decade-long mystery - the question on everyone’s minds is “if there is a media stampede back” could it spell a rush of welcome pre-season business, and would it disappear in time to let the popular sun-blessed village enjoy a trouble-free summer?

No wonder there has been no response from the McCanns.

I've just checked and the DM still has this article on their webpage. I honestly thought the McCanns (Carter-Ruck) would have had "DEATH" swiffered overnight. Does anyone know if this same article is appearing in the 'print' edition of the paper?

Quoting the Telegraph, Pat Brown has tweeted: "Wow! A truthful headline from a UK paper! "Madeleine McCann's Parents have not been ruled innocent"

Yes and No. An abbreviated version appears on Page 5 of the print version.

Thanks "Chris" - Does the abbreviated version (on Page 5 no less) include the word "death"? That to me is what the McCanns would object to as it would impact on their ability to raise more money for the "search".

"Disappearance" only. It is basically the first 6 short paragraphs of the online version with a little tweeking.

Thanks again "Chris - that's quite a twist - from "death" to "disappearance".

INTERSTING SUGGESTING SHE IS DEAD.

I know the UK has very strict libel laws and, I assume, they same laws apply to what a newspaper has put in print as well as what it has posted on the internet. The Daily Mail in print referred to Madeleine as "missing" whereas on their website they used the word "death". So far I haven't heard that the McCanns, who for almost ten years have proven themselves to be only too happy to litigate, haven't publicly announced they will be suing the DM for stating Madeleine is dead. I find that odd, because the McCanns don't usually 'do' silence. Or, maybe "our lawyers are watching" which came from "a source", covers what is to come.

Someone on another site said yesterday that they have to be more careful with what they actually print in the newspaper. It is easy to amend an online version if necessary but when it's in print there's not much you can do about it retrospectively.
