Why isn't MuRAT suing the Portuguese Press and Policia Jucicaria?

Question

Don't that stand for it in Portugal or what?

Considering the British Press reported stories that were already circulating in the Portuguese Press & media, why isn't he suing "the source"?

Answer 1

Because he's able to move on with his life and doesn't want to drag the story on and on as Madeline was nothing to him. The McCanns don't have that luxury and also, they want to keep it current as it probably makes their daughter seem closer to them somehow and not forgotten about.

Answer 2

There's a mistake in your question: "Considering the British Press reported stories that were already circulating in the Portuguese Press & media, why isn't he suing "the source"?"

The news you read about Murat on the British press didn't come from the Portuguese one.

There was a concertated effort to crucify the man on the British press. Not here.

OH Jesus Mary and Joseph, the overtrusty carpenter!

I forgot you are a McCannist!

You'll never understand the fact that Robert Murat asked to be placed under the Arguido status.

Or that he has been cooperating with the police.

And behaving in an extremely correct manner.

Or that attention was brought into him by the McCanns friends.

Or that he is not under police protection and the "raging local mob" that the McCanns present as a reason to avoid coming back to Portugal doesn't disturb him one bit.

Actually... I can't even understand why you bothered to ask....

Opps, thumbs down... did I lie? No.

Well, I wonder...

Answer 3

don't put the cart before the horse.....it may just happen in time.

Answer 4

That might come later if the Arguidos status is lifted.

Answer 5

Because he is still a suspect, and can do nothing until the Portuguese police say otherwise

As is the McCanns

Answer 6

Why didn't McJeckyll & McHyde do the same...?

Sue the "source" like you say...?

Yeah, it doesn't make much sense does it? I mean, to sue yourself...

Yeah after all this time can't you see? THEY ARE THE SOURCE, of searching for money instead of searching for MADELEINE! Of acusing Murat like they did and their friends, of acusing the PJ of leaks on a extreme coincidence and perfect timing that could only help them and not the PJ, so...?

Answer 7

Because the police have every right to make him an official suspect he cant sue them for doing their job, he can sue the press though for making false claims about him and smearing his reputation as he has not been charged with anything

Answer 8

I'd like to know that too, but so long as he is suing The Sun that puts a smile on my face

Answer 9

did the mcanns sue in Portugal?

Answer 10

Perhaps they have different libel/slander laws?
