has WON HIS APPEAL !!!! :-D :-D :-D :-D

Gonçalo Amaral was the Portuguese cop in charge of investigating the disappearance of Maddy McCann.

Awful man. *shudder*

Maybe they will lift the ban on his book
And we will finally get to read it :-D :-D

I shouldn't bother, Joy, unless you're a fan of self-pitying badly written fiction.

Well it cant be any worse than Kates book

I don't like things been banned
I like to make my own mind up :-D :-D

I have read his book and I also read Pat Brown's before Amazon banned it.

I am very pleased he got the justice he deserved, although his reputation will still be sullied in the UK.

I am looking forward to making my own mind up Sue :-D :-D

Best way Joy, it's available on line and always has been ;-) Pat Brown's is like finding the holy grail but I got it as soon as available thank goodness.

I think it's a step in the right direction ;-)

Exactly what I did, important to read both sides, obviously. As I said - an awful man.

Why is he awful? He made some mistakes whilst his hands were tied but only by publishing his book could he try and rescue his reputation.

I have contempt for any former officer of the law who attempts to cash in when they leave the force under a cloud. I have even more contempt for those who lie and attempt self-justification for their messes.

I bought Kates book at a boot sale for 50p
By the end of the first few chapters
I realised
I had been done :-(
I started the book believing them
then by half way through
I Had sadly changed my mind :-(
and doubts had well set in my mind :-(

I have read many books by ex Policemen
writing about many different cases they had worked on :-D

He had no choice but to put his version of the events into the public domain. Everyone else had been Carter Rucked! which cost £ms (out of the fund BTW).

Plus he repeated what the UK police investigating had theorised, their case against him was absolutely ludicrous (to use the pink shirted one's phrase) :-D

They acted illegally in seizing his books and didn't return them when ordered to so they sued. Nothing wrong with that is there?

I wonder if the McCann's
would of sued if they where using their own money
and not the money from the Find Maddie fund ;-) ;-)

Do you have any evidence of that, Joy? Maybe you could quote your source.

I have read all the court cases
have been paid for from the fund

and today the costs went against the McCann's

You could google it if you like
i am sure it wont take long to find yourself ;-) ;-) ;-)

I have googled and can't find any evidence that they used the funds to sue, that's why I asked you to name the source. ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-)

Ive just found it in the McCann files on another site
