Which Newspaper Will Buy Robert Murat’s Story?
MADELEINE McCann aguido Robert Murat has accepted £600,000 in libel damages over claims that he was involved in her abduction.
Outside court Mr Murat says: “The newspapers in this case brought about the total and utter destruction of mine and my family’s life and caused immense distress.”
Round up here.
Mr Murat, his friend Michaela Walczuch and IT consultant Sergey Malinka had all brought proceedings against Associated Newspapers, Express Newspapers, MGN Limited and News Group Newspapers over nearly 100 “seriously defamatory” articles.
Murat’s solicitor, Louis Charalambous, says:
“In particular, the defendants accept that none of the claimants had any involvement whatever in the abduction of Madeleine McCann.
“They accept that none of the claimants has any paedophile tendencies or connection with paedophiles or paedophile websites and that none of them lied to the police or obstructed the investigations.
“They accept that Mr Murat’s actions after the abduction were entirely proper and were motivated by a desire to help find Madeleine McCann. He became a volunteer translator for the Portuguese police and did everything he could to assist the investigation.
“Ms Walczuch was never suspected or accused of any involvement in the abduction of Madeleine McCann. Mr Malinka was not guilty of any sexual misconduct and has no criminal convictions.”
Now which paper will buy the rights to his story and try to earn back some of their losses?

Thanks for the link to the newspaper. It certainly does need some explaining.
What is your guess about what they are trying to suppress?
July 18th, 2008 at 8:32 am
It’s the boot, jo, not a bag.

‘ ‘CM’ reveals : Found 15 of the 19 genetic markers
A magistrate and two policemen, including Stuart Prior, responsible for liaison with PJ, were yesterday at the Court of Portimão to try to convince Magellan Meneses, prosecutor of the prosecutor, not to release the secret of justice of the whole process of disappearance of Madeleine. One of the things that the British claim that it is not known is the report of the laboratory in Birmingham, which states that “15 of the 19 genetic markers found traces collected in a bag in the car the couple coincide [with the child disappeared].The claim was denied”
So….what is exactely happening here?why do they try to convinve Magellan Maganes NOT to release the secret of justice? I mean the mccanns are innocent are they? so where is the problem?WHAT is it the brits are trying to hide?Dont they want JUSTICE FOR MADELEINE?
In any case,the claim has been DENIED
More news later

Morning All
ooooooohhh whats going on here then lol, are we going to be able to add a picture to out names? how kool !
Jo - I always click ’show all’ and scroll right down the page or else I have to read the posts upwards, does yours work like that?
July 18th, 2008 at 8:05 am
Anyhow….why are the mccanns so keen on seing the evidences if there arent any?
You tell me

Thank you for your answer…
The only problem with the changes in anorak is that we must scroll down the whole page which amounts to an awful lot of posts to read the last comments
I just went to esplandor de la Forma and to my surprise,we can only access it if we register ….whats going on?or is something going on?
Jo: I am not sure what you mean by the last sentence. We have always required a registration to become part of the Forum. That registration allows access to both comment sections of the site.
Everyone is welcome to join the Forum and the process is a quick one. It does mean you have to give a contactable e-mail address but that is a strictly confidential item and accessible by only six people here. Those six are all Administrators and Moderators.-agw

Thank you for the information. Looking forward to getting back to normal.
July 18th, 2008 at 7:54 am
Sorry folks, we do seem to have a problem.
The techie’s are trying to sort it out as we speak.
If you get the 404 message when you post, try refreshing your screen, it seems to be working for me and the posts are being accepted.
The post numbers have apparently been abducted by the faceless eggman next to your name.
July 18th, 2008 at 7:52 am
Jo:
By name?
The site is being updated. There are the usual glitches.
There is the usual background hair-pulling and whys?
It will improve. The questions may too.

Rasputin,
Such convoluted syntax will take more than a few minutes and several cups of coffee to unscramble.
I shall apply copious nicotine and caffeine and come back to you.
July 18th, 2008 at 7:50 am
Gawd!
Back to scrolling down the whole page! Or is it just me?
And when do we get to upload photos?
And when do the numbers come back?
July 18th, 2008 at 7:45 am
Good morning
Whats going on on anorak? the post numbers have gone?Instead there is a slot to put a pic??? How do we refer to the posters then?
July 18th, 2008 at 7:30 am
Let me put a hypothetical situation to you Carmen, somewhere in a court a police force withheld evidence from a very high and senior judge, that evidence would become public or at least to the legal authorities of said country, including of course the said very high and senior judge, if said evidence was released by the investigating judge in another country. The police force who may have erred in their judgement, as to that which the Judge was entitled to see, dig a bigger hole by trying to influence the investigating prosecutor to suppress documents, wonder why ?

The question is, who are ‘they’ Rasputin, not just ‘what’ are they trying to hide?
July 18th, 2008 at 7:08 am

Very interesting indeed. So it looks like Maddie, or her belongings were in the car. Confusing though, as to whether DNA markers can be left by clothing. Or, are they left by the person themselves.
July 18th, 2008 at 6:47 am
Exactly what are they trying to hide.

Oh, have to get used to a new format. What goes in the pictures now. I like the numbers better. Well, on to Mr Murat. He has had a makeover and looks good. His glasses are very nice may I say so, and he is behaving in a very good manner too. IMHO, is it possible that he may have been “used” and it didn’t come off the way it was intended. Only in my own opinion though do I say this.
July 18th, 2008 at 3:29 am
B*gger.
Leave Anorak for a nano-second and they go and change the layout/graphics.
Far too much to take on board after a hard day and three glasses of champagne .
Have they found her yet?
July 18th, 2008 at 2:08 am
I leave for 2 minutes and look at the state of you!
July 18th, 2008 at 1:27 am
Chatelaine - you are not alone - all sorts of weird pages are appearing - gremlins in the camp
July 18th, 2008 at 1:26 am
I see on Anorak that the Pope has met another snake!!
