McCanns Left 'Furious' At Libel Trial Delay
Madeline McCann's parents were left furious following the latest delay in their libel case against a former Portuguese police officer, who they are suing after the case halted when he sacked his lawyer.
Kate and Gerry McCann, who flew from Leicestershire to Lisbon, to give evidence against Goncalo Amaral, about the effect surrounding allegations in his book.
Speaking outside the court in Lisbon, Mr McCann said: "We're exasperated that the hearing has been cancelled once again at Mr Amaral's request.
"This is the fourth time this has happened and we've travelled to Portugal.
"The legal case has been running now for over five years and we want to get justice for Madeleine.
"Today is a blatant and cynical attempt to wear us down and it's Madeleine who is suffering.
"We're not going to give up - we're going to keep going."
In his book Mr Amaral wrote the couple had hidden Madeline's body and faked an abduction after she died in an accident.
