Murat receives £600,000 libel damages
Madeleine McCann suspect Robert Murat today accepted £600,000 (€757,000) in libel damages over claims that he was involved in her abduction.
Mr Murat, who is a 34-year-old Algarve-based property consultant, was at London’s High Court to hear his solicitor, Louis Charalambous, tell Mr Justice Eady that it was now acknowledged that the allegations were entirely untrue.
