False claims case ends for Murat
Four national newspaper groups have agreed to pay £600,000 in libel damages to Robert Murat and two other people over claims they were involved in the abduction of Madeleine McCann.
News International, Mirror Group Newspapers, Express Newspapers and Associated Newspapers acknowledged making “false claims” about Robert Murat, his friend Michaela Walczuch and IT consultant Sergey Malinka in a statement read out in court. Appologies will run in Express Newspapers titles; the Daily Express, Sunday Express and Daily Star; Associated’s Daily Mail, London Evening Standard and Metro; MGN’s Daily Mirror, Sunday Mirror and Daily Record; and News International’s Sun and News of the World.
The court heard that the papers between them ran almost 100 articles mentioning either Murat or the two other claimants, Sergey Malinka and Mikala Walczuch. Some reports suggested that the claimamnts has paedophile tendencies or connection with paedophiles or paedophile websites and inferred that they had lied to the police or obstructed the investigations.
Murat’s lawyer, Louis Charalambous said “Until now Robert Murat has had to watch silently as the worst elements of the British media have gone about destroying his good name and reputation. The behaviour of the tabloid journalists and their editors has been grossly irresponsible, demonstrating a reckless disregard for truth.”
According to the Guardian Murat said: “I’m pleased that the publications concerned have admitted the falsity of all their allegations and I can now start to rebuild my life.
“Today’s statement of full apology in open court means I can emerge from this action with vindication and with the recognition and acknowledgement that what was said against me was wholly untrue.”

McCanns to return to UK later today
BREAKING….The parents of missing 4 year old Madeleine McCann are expected to leave Portugal later this morning. The Press Association have reported that Kate and Gerry McCann are planning to catch the 9.30 am flight back to East Midlands to return to their Leceister home. It is believed that their flight will land in the UK at 12.20pm. Portuguese authorities have given permission for the couple to leave but they must be prepared to return to Portugal at any time to face further questions. Yesterday in a bizarre twist both parents were named as formal suspects in the investigation into her disappearance. It is understood that the Portuguese judge will start consideration of the evidence against the McCanns on Monday and this should take about 10 days. Kate and Gerry McCann continue to deny any involvement in Madeleine’s disapearance and have vowed to clear their names.
