McCanns prepare to sue ex-police chief

Kate and Gerry McCann said they were taking action over comments made in the media by the man who previously led the inquiry into Madeleine’s disappearance on May 3, 2007.

In a statement, the McCanns said: “We – together with our three children Madeleine, Sean and Amelie – are taking this legal action against Goncalo Amaral over his entirely unfounded and grossly defamatory claims – made in all types of media, both within Portugal and beyond – that Madeleine is not only dead, but that we, her parents, were somehow involved in concealing her body.”
