Page 1 of McCanns to use fund to pay legal expenses.

I have read somewhere that the McCanns are to use money from the fund to pay for their legal expenses etc etc while in Portugal.... Thats public money to find Madeleine not for their use I think its scandelous.

I can see this turning all sour for them and my hunches may be right

Do you not feel that by using the fund they are helping to catch the person responsible if they are innocent?

Was there a statement saying if you donate to this fund it will be used for x y z? I am sure they have accessed it for other expenses they have incurred staying there.

Hunches are common everyone seems to have one :/

mmm chocolate

yes true, i hope they are innocent but they say they had nothing to do with the disapearence!! they left them alone to go to eat so i think they have alot to do with it.

Normal folk would have had the other two taken off them by now by SS

This is from the News of the World, so take it with a pinch of salt:

Quote:
The McCanns now fear the cops may be about to arrest and charge them. Gerry told us: "Our lawyer said the weight of it is that, under the Portuguese legal system, they`ve got enough to move forward against us."

Then he revealed they may consider flying in a crack legal team from the UK to assist their Portuguese advisor.

But he confessed he is frustrated they are not allowed to use any of the £800,000 Madeleine Fund— boosted by celebrity appeals including Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling and soccer star David Beckham—to pay their mounting legal bills.

"It seems like a disaster that we`ve got this huge donated fund and now we`re not allowed to use it for legal costs because we`re under suspicion," said Gerry.

Cheeky bugger!

Did people give them the money for their legal fees? No. They gave so the could find the missing girl. Not that i gave but if I had i would consider it a miss use of funds.

Thats what they assumed it was for. In reality people just gave blindly to them with no caveats.

Its like giving money to a tramp then getting p***ed off that they buy heroin with it.

The objects of the company would include the money going on paying for their defence.

Quote:
NOTE

1.1 The full objects of the Fund are:

1.1.1 To secure the safe return to her family of Madeleine McCann who was abducted in Praia da Luz, Portugal on Thursday 3rd May 2007;

1.1.2 To procure that Madeleine's abduction is thoroughly investigated and that her abductors, as well as those who played or play any part in assisting them, are identified and brought to justice; and

1.1.3 To provide support, including financial assistance, to Madeleine's family.

1.2 If the above objects are fulfilled then the objects of the Foundation shall be to pursue such purposes in similar cases arising in the United Kingdom, Portugal or elsewhere.


Did you hear that they have hired, or want to hire, General Pinochet`s lawyer who prevented his extradition? Nice company. :/

Yeah, been on holiday.

It was good to see the furious speculation and judgement of this whole boring issue wasnt entirely eroded by the Saint Diana celebrations, while I was gone.

It was quite funny to see the English papers. DIANA EXCLUSIVE 1st Headline MADDIE EXCLUSIVE 2nd Headline. It was almost as if they didnt want me to read them....
