McCanns face legal headache to clear names

KATE and Gerry McCann now have the headache of meeting hefty legal bills to try to prove their innocence.

With no one knowing how long the criminal case against them will last, or cost, the fees are set to mount. So far public donations of £1,036,104.17 have been received by Madeleine’s Fund: Leaving No Stone Unturned — the fund set up to help investigate and secure Madeleine McCann’s return.

After Kate and Gerry McCann were named as formal suspects, a family friend said: “The fund is looking into whether it can legally pay for the legal advice that is currently being given to Kate and Gerry.”
