Following the
ruling of the Court of Appeals of Lisbon on October 14, 2010 in
which the judges decreed that Goncalo Amaral's books could be sold,
revoking the first judgement of the Court
a quo [lower
court/court decision's that was appealed] that had granted a banning
injunction, and in a new legal setback for the McCanns, we can now
confirm that the judge has ordered the immediate devolution of the 7.500
copies of the book "Maddie, the Truth of the Lie" that were entrusted to
Isabel Duarte, lawyer of the McCann couple. The lawyer has, of today, 10
days to fulfil that order.
On
the other hand, we are also able to confirm that one of the several
claims for defamation made by the McCann couple against several
Portuguese persons, specifically one targeting criminal psychologist and
university professor Dr. Paulo Sargento as been archived by the Public
Ministry. Nevertheless, and according to information that was provided
to us, the McCanns' lawyer, Isabel Duarte, intends to proceed with the
claim despite not having the backing of the Public Minstry.
