The parents of Madeleine McCann have admitted defeat in their libel battle with an ex-detective who baselessly accused them of involvement in their daughter’s disappearance.
a Lisbon court ordered him to pay the McCanns £440,000 after they won the initial libel case over his book Maddie: The Truth About The Lie. But an appeal court overturned the decision the following year and in 2017 the Supreme Court in Portugal also found against the couple. The McCanns were given the right to lodge an appeal – but the Mirror has revealed they have admitted defeat. The three-month appeal time limit has expired and the case is now listed as “definitif” – final – on the ECHR system. There was no compensation or costs order made, although Kate and Gerry still face a massive legal bill.
