portugese leaks to the media, how are they different to the maccanns using their famliy and friends,?

Question

and web site, to speak to the media when they are not allowed to speak about the case.

AND REMEMBER WHO STARTED TALIKING TO THE MEDIA FIRST?, "TEAM MACCANN"

Answer 1

lets get something straight here. There is no such group as team McCann. The Portugese Police are a law enforcement body and have a duty not to leak information. The McCanns have not leaked anything. They have answered questions. Not one of the allegations you have made in the last few weeks are supported by any evidence. The case that has been passed onto the Judge is being analysed and the evidence found wanting. How do I know this? Well you don't go questioning priest if you do have evidence.

Answer 2

Wow, another obvious attempt by Team McCann to ensure that the Press only prints what they want? NO, YOU DON'T SAY! (sarcasm) It's a bit stupid though, whether the Portuguese Press are on their side or not, to bite the hand that feeds you. I thought they wanted as much Press attention as possible to keep Madeleine in people's thoughts? Surely this is going to cause a huge backlash in Portugal? The Portuguese Police and (one assumes) Government have bent over backwards to please the McCann's (Isn't their new apartment being paid for by the Portuguese Tourist people?), it seems stupid to annoy the Press in the country in which you are a guest.

Answer 3

They are not.
The Mccann have always used their family and powerful friends to get a good image out.
I read that when the portuguese media started reporting things they didn't like they contacted journalists and offered payments to write articles that would give them a good image.
I would not be surprised if this was true.
Now we see articles about what a perfect mother Kate is, where was this friend when everyone thought the world of the Mccanns? My guess is she wasn't needed then.
The Mccanns started a fight trying to discredit the Portuguese Police, now the police are fighting back.

Answer 4

The difference being the police should be proffesional about this and the mccanns are not allowed to comment,so to save their skins the police are starting these rumours so the likes of you think they are guilty and this takes the heat off them for their incompetence.

Answer 5

Jack H is right. Who started all this leaving their children alone? And who started all this media madness not because they wanted to find their daughter but because they wanted to be a celebrity? How many McCanns' relatives are playing the part of 'official' spokeperson? If, like any normal person with a missing kid, would they have dedicated their time to help the police in the search of their daughter instead of appearing in front the cameras jogging, walking the twins, going to church, meeting celebrities, and leaking information -because Phillomena and John have leaked info too- maybe the world would have treated them like concerned parents and not like a selfish bunch.

Answer 6

Good question.
I have yet to see a day in the media when Philomena hasn't opened that cavernous gob extolling the virtues of what are to me two criminally neglectful parents.

Answer 7

This is the difference
WIFE SWAPPING?

Retired detective Jose Barra da Costa told Portuguese TV Kate and Gerry indulged in wife-swapping sessions with the friends they were holidaying with in Praia da Luz.

The allegations were followed up in Portuguese newspapers - even though Mr Costa had no evidence to back up his claims.

BUGGED CALLS & EMAILS?

National newspaper Diario de Noticias claimed police bugged the McCanns and intercepted their emails and phone calls.

The article even said this had let police gather "decisive proof" Madeleine was not kidnapped - but officers denied bugging them.

McCANNS INVOLVED?

Recently, Portuguese newspapers have made frequent claims that Madeleine died due to negligence or was murdered.

Diario de Noticias even quoted an unnamed police source as saying: "Police have known for a month that Madeleine McCann was killed that night at the apartment." However, the article offered no explanation for the claim.

BLOOD IN APARTMENT?

Newspaper Jornal de Noticias claimed blood found in the apartment was Madeleine's.

It said: "This evidence locates Madeleine's death inside the apartment, but the investigators are still not certain it was murder, despite the fact forensic experts have revealed somebody did try to erase the blood traces."

The theory most favoured by detectives to explain Maddie's death - now taken as almost certain - is that it involved an accident.

THE REAL FATHER?

Some reports sickeningly claimed Gerry was not Madeleine's real father - and that he had deliberately altered details on her birth certificate to make it appear he was.

However, the McCanns conceived Madeleine by IVF and were said to be "furious" at the unsubstantiated slur.

MADELEINE SEDATED?

A number of newspapers have accused the McCanns - both doctors - of treating their children with sedatives to make them sleep.

Newspaper Tal&Qual directly accused the McCanns of killing Madeleine with an accidental overdose while sedating her, but only attributed its story to an "anonymous source" close to the investigation.

It even went on to speculate about the sort of prison sentences someone might get for the crimes of homicide by negligence and hiding a body. Gerry said: "It's incredibly hurtful and untrue. There is just absolutely no evidence pointing in that direction." The McCanns are now suing the paper.

A DRUNKEN PARTY?

Some papers reported as fact a series of unsubstantiated rumours that the McCanns had left their children on their own so they could go and get blind drunk with their pals.

HOME ALONE?

Papers quoted unnamed "locals" as saying the McCanns regularly left the children crying alone while they went out drinking.

One report said they went to neighbouring town Lagos - a 15-minute drive away - without the children one night.

But Kate and Gerry insist they ate at the Ocean Club tapas restaurant every night.

SECRET SURVEILLANCE?

Local tabloid 24 Horas said some of the McCanns' friends had been put under secret surveillance in England.

It did not quote any source and police in Portugal and the UK dismissed the story as total nonsense.

FRIEND A SUSPECT?

The McCanns' friend Dr Russell O'Brien was said to have "mysteriously" disappeared for over an hour on the fateful night.

The Portuguese press hinted that he was somehow involved in the case, but it emerged that Dr O'Brien left the tapas restaurant because his own child
