he, like bennet, is libelling them. i believe they won a case in PT and all his books were recalled.
The books have now all been returned because the appeals court ruled in favour of the publisher.
Portugal believes very strongly in freedom of speech and the Mccann's banning of the Amaral's book went against everything they have fought for in the past. So now Amazon and other retailers should be able to sell his book without fear of litigation.
I thought they won the interim hearing but lost the actual proceedings and appeal and had to hand the seized books back this week?
His publishers eventually got 7500(approx) books handed back this week after Amaral won the case against them(not reported on UK TV/Press strangely;)) the Mccanns lawyers took their time handing them over according to some reports. EDIT i see the question got answered by posters who are quicker on the keyboard:o

cheers, Supersal,,,, I had an idea that the injunction had been overturned but wasn't sure of the ins and outs, Many thanks!
The money was to find Madeleine. Not for paying lawyers to persecute people who question their abduction story.
Or paying to use suspect detective agencies like Metodo3 and a fellow called Halligen who has now been arrested by the FBI. It`s no wonder people are questioning things. OK, I`m prepared to keep an open mind, as are most of us, but I just can`t ignore all these dodgey things. All of us would be over the moon if Maddie was discovered safe and well.
Having doubts and unanswered questions doesn't make you a vigilante or a conspiracy nut.
Unfortunately the Panorama programme turned out to be a disappointment.
An excellent point, Loz. I am a disgruntled donor, who has since been disgusted by the refusal of the main players to co-operate with the PT police.... and even more disgusted about the way my donation money is being spent on fancy lawyers to persecute those who are simply speaking about the PT police investigation.
I suspect that the McCann's court case against Amaral's book may have worked against them, publicity-wise. If you want to boost sales then just mention the word "banned..."

IF it gets published in English i will have it on pre-order, i want to read the other side to the "disappearence" of Maddy.
you did indeed. and seemed to have no idea about bennett's activities or court entanglements. fortunately, you are up to date on the details of amaral's legal wrangles with the interminable portugese courts.

I do not like the McCann's at all but they do have a right to defend their name when they consider themselves to be libelled.
But surely not with money donated to find their daughter.... if the Fund had been set up with specific aims of paying their mortgage and legal fees resulting from libel actions, I doubt many people would have contributed.

lol. not so 'late' to all this after all then
yes apparently the interim injunction was overturned, but the final ruling is yet to come.
Or paying to use suspect detective agencies like Metodo3 and a fellow called Halligen who has now been arrested by the FBI. It`s no wonder people are questioning things. OK, I`m prepared to keep an open mind, as are most of us, but I just can`t ignore all these dodgey things. All of us would be over the moon if Maddie was discovered safe and well.
yes i know what you think. but you don't appear to have any links or proof for your claims.
which, you must admit, is a bit rich for someone who demands links and proof from others.
yeah but guesses and facts are two different things.... remember?

No, they have just been returned after the McCanns lawyer defied 2 court orders to return them.
Yes Thank you , I know .I also know what I think about using funds for anything other then searching for Madeleine
I actually said "late to the thread".
No smoke without fire IMO
IF it gets published in English i will have it on pre-order, i want to read the other side to the "disappearence" of Maddy.
primer needs to get the facts right I feel
It was translated online I think , a Google might bring it up .
Thanks i will look at that:) but i would definately buy his book also if published come on some publisher get it printed!.
you did indeed. and seemed to have no idea about bennett's activities or court entanglements. fortunately, you are up to date on the details of amaral's legal wrangles with the interminable portugese courts.
which ones did i get wrong?
with evidence please.
yu'll forgive me if i don't just take your word for it. :yawn:
And.....?
But surely not with money donated to find their daughter.... if the Fund had been set up with specific aims of paying their mortgage and legal fees resulting from libel actions, I doubt many people would have contributed.
