Madeleine McCann Disappearance: Libel Case

McCann’s disappearance case was initially handled by Police inspector Goncalo Amaral who was later removed from the case after he criticized the British police.

Later, he wrote a book named “Maddie: The Truth of the Lie” in which he alleged that the child’s parents planned the entire thing as kidnapping and tried to cover up her accidental death in the apartment.

After the book was published and gained a huge response from the readers, McCann’s parents filed a libel case against Amaral along with the publisher. They were granted €600,000 for the libel damages by the court.

Amaral appealed in court in 2016 and overturned the decision and in 2017 the Supreme Court of Portugal rejected the final appeal of McCanns against Amaral and ruled against the libel damages.

In the latest court proceedings on Tuesday, 20th September 2022, the court revealed that McCann’s reputation was damaged because they were found suspects in their daughter’s disappearance and not because of what Amaral claimed.
