Legal
action over 'slur'
|
DROPPED: Amaral |
THE former police chief who led the hunt for
Madeleine McCann in Portugal plans to sue parents
Kate and Gerry for defamation.
Goncalo Amaral,
49, has hired a team of lawyers to
prepare an action against the two doctors.
And the cop, dropped from the inquiry in October 2007 for
criticising British police, says he will also seek damages from
the McCann's spokesman
Clarence Mitchell.
His action
comes weeks after the McCanns revealed they were suing Amaral
over a
book
he wrote.
It claimed Madeleine, aged three when she disappeared in Praia
da Luz in May 2007, died in an accident and her parents, both
40, concealed her death.
Amaral was found guilty recently of falsifying evidence in
another missing child case.
The McCanns said: "Any legal action will be defended." |
