McCanns will miss cop's trial
9 September 2012
Daily Star
The parents of Madeleine McCann will avoid a showdown with a former police chief who wrongly claimed they lied about their daughter’s disappearance.
Kate and Gerry McCann are hoping to win a £1million libel payout from disgraced Goncalo Amaral, who they say has made their life hell.
But the McCanns, both 44, are staying away from this week’s trial in the Portuguese capital Lisbon.
Mr Amaral, 55, is attending the four-day hearing, which is scheduled to start on Thursday.
Kate and Gerry branded the ex-officer “poisonous” for claiming in a once-banned book that Maddie is dead and that they lied about her disappearance.
Their daughter vanished in Praia da Luz, Portugal, five years ago, aged three.
The McCanns’ lawyer Isabel Duarte said yesterday: “Kate and Gerry are not needed in Portugal for the trial.”
She said they were confident of victory, adding: “We reasonably expect compensation for the dreadful damages this book has brought the family.”
Any payout will be spent entirely on the continuing global search for Maddie, the couple said.
Mr Amaral led the bungled investigation but was sacked for criticising British police.
Kate wrote in her 2011 book Madeleine: “That man has caused us so much upset and anger.”

Maddie McCann trial 'ruined our marriage'
9 September 2012
Express
James Murray
The wife of former Portuguese police chief Goncalo Amaral today reveals how the libel action brought against him by Kate and Gerry McCann wrecked their 10-year marriage.
The McCanns will begin the action in Lisbon on Thursday seeking £1million damages over claims about their missing daughter Madeleine.
Speaking exclusively to the Sunday Express, Mr Amaral’s wife Sofia, who is separated from her husband, said:
‘‘He is almost broke and the strain of all this legal action has made him ill and ended our marriage.”
Kate and Gerry have decided not to attend but Mr Amaral, 54, will be there for the four-day trial even though he does not have to give evidence.
He insists he does not have a secret pot of “Maddie gold” from the publication of his book The Truth Of The Lie and will defend his claim in it that Madeleine could have died accidentally in the Praia da Luz apartment on the Algarve on May 3, 2007, aged three.
Sofia added:
“I am really worried about his health.”

He was the 'police boss who led the initial search for Maddie after her abduction in May 2007'
"He went on to write a book sold worldwide in which he claimed her parents covered up her death from an accident or overdose of sedatives."
- Amaral was the Coordinator of the investigation, leading a team of Portuguese detectives and coordinating with British police.
- He was removed from the case in October 2007. Gordon Brown was told of the decision BEFORE Amaral himself was informed.
