Last September, Kate and Gerry McCann lost a 13-year libel battle with Goncalo Amaral, who had suggested they were involved in their daughter’s disappearance
The parents of Madeleine McCann had to use funds raised to search for their daughter to fight an ex-police officer who made “unfounded” claims about the case.
The latest accounts also show Madeleine’s Fund received £3498 from sales of Kate’s book “Madeleine” in the previous year, and the fund has £970,767 in cash and assets. The McCanns sued Amaral for libel over claims in his book, Maddie: The Truth About The Lie, and in 2015, a Lisbon court ordered him to pay them £440,000 damages.
They then took the case to the European Court of Human Rights. But in September, the seven judges unanimously upheld the former detective’s right to free speech.
