'Tapas Seven' accept libel damages

The friends known as the Tapas Seven, who were on holiday with Kate and Gerry McCann when daughter Madeleine vanished, have accepted £375,000 (€480,000) libel damages from Express Newspapers.

The damages – which will be donated to the Find Madeleine Fund – relate to articles in the 'Daily Express', the 'Sunday Express' and the 'Daily Star' between July and December last year.
