Madeleine McCann: Kate and Gerry's fury at 'club' devoted to prosecuting them

Gerry and Kate McCann have expressed their anger at the establishment of a fee-paying "club" dedicated to seeing them prosecuted over the disappearance of their daughter Madeleine.

A retired British solicitor, Tony Bennett, has set up a fund called The Madeleine Foundation, which aims to bring a private prosecution against the McCanns for alleged child neglect.

But Madeleine's parents fear members of the public will inadvertently donate money to it because they may mistake it for the McCanns' own Madeleine Fund, which pays for private investigations into her whereabouts.

Mr Bennett, 60, who has in the past worked with the family of Stuart Lubbock, the man found dead in Michael Barrymore's swimming pool in 2001, described his fund as a subscription-only members' club, charging a £10 annual fee.

Last year he tried unsuccessfully to launch a private prosecution against the McCanns, only to be told by magistrates in Leicester that they had no jurisdiction over the case, because Madeleine disappeared in Portugal.

Mr Bennett said: "Some of the money immediately raised will be used to pay for a barrister to give his or her opinion on how best to proceed with a legal action against the McCanns.

"We are a group of people, which is rapidly growing in number, who want to get to the truth of what happened to Madeleine.

"We will also campaign for changes to the law about parents who leave children on their own.

"If you go on the internet and look at some of the forums and blogs about Madeleine, there is a large and significant number of people who feel powerless and who want to do something about it."

Mr Bennett said the official website for the Madeleine Foundation, which will not have charitable status, is about to go live.

He said all the money raised would be used "in an above board way" and would be openly accounted for.

Clarence Mitchell, the McCanns' spokesman, said: "It is a great shame that Mr Bennett feels the need to make money out of Madeleine McCann. "He did not seek permission from Gerry or Kate to use Madeleine's name. This so-called foundation is in no way doing anything to help find Madeleine.

"It purports to be a foundation helping the search for Madeleine but it does nothing at all to help that search and goes against Gerry and Kate.

"Mr Bennett has already tried to take a private prosecution against Gerry and Kate but a court said it has no jurisdiction over something which allegedly happened in Portugal."

Hi WM!
Why not put the money towards finding Maddie if he is truly that interested in her? Is he out to make a name for himself? IMO he should not be allowed to use her for his own purpose. :stop:

Like you said Mandz
He is Not Interested in Anything but his Own Agenda :twisted:
I Hope they Sue him too .. then the Money Will be Well Spent :dontfeedthetro

I dont know whether it still exists anywhere, but there was a recording of James Whale interviewing Bennett last year, not that Bennett got a word in edge ways, Whales absolutely ripped him to pieces and showed him to be what imo he is, another leach on society, cashing in on Madeleines name for his own gains. Despicable little man.

You know what Tinks he's
I will Look for that Interview, you would think after His First Attempt he would have learned to

Hi Mandz,WM
This man is barking and clearly has too much time on his hands.
How wicked and malicious, as somebody with no connection to the case, to jump on this particular bandwaggon.
Then he likes his five minutes of fame, judging by past form.
He has already been told, that UK courts have no jurisdiction over this case and in any event, Social services Dept, are quite happy with the McCann's parenting.
He will face a massive backlash, in my opinion.
He has such delightful cheerleaders as the malevolent Buddah[not]from DX days, doesn't he, Mandz?
He will hang himself, given enough rope and only nutters would give money to such a person.
It is a sad indictment of a small minority of mankind, who have no compassion or pity.They are warped and flawed individuals.You could not imagine any of these nuts having a normal balanced life.Shameful inadequate fame seeker and big mistake, if he goes ahead.Very big mistake and misjudgement.
What more punishment does he feel is needed for these poor people ?
His spite and malice will come back on him.

What a Freakin Idiot
and he wants people to take him Seriously :weirdthread:

Another theory

My latest theory based on a leak from the PJ that cadaverine was found in a flower-bed at the bottom of the steps at Apartment 5a at Praia da Luz:

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++

I am interested in the claim that cadaverine, the scent of death, was found in a flowerbed near the stone steps.

Up to now, I have been prepared to consider that Madeleine could have died as the result of a rage attack by either parent, probably Kate, furious at being summoned by an Ocean Club member and hauled out of Chaplins to attend to a sobbing Madeleine.

One of my reasons for maintaining this option was the reports of Madeleine's blood being found in the children's bedroom - and, still more relevant, Kate McCann's improbable explanation for how it got there.

Then there were the reports of blood specks on the steps, which made it looke like Madeleine had had some kind of accident on the steps.

I now summarise, from the leaks we have had, the relevant points to consider, in working out what may have happened on the night of 2nd/3rd May:

RELEVANT POINTS

* Mrs Pamela Fenn hears Madeleine sobbing and crying out 'Daddy', 'Daddy'. Reports suggest this was 10.30pm to 11.45pm. I think this was on 2 May, not 1 May as some reports had it

* McCanns located in Chaplins and summoned to go back to the flat to find out if Madeleine is OK

* Clearly false, self-serving account by the McCanns of how Madeleine cheerfully asked her parents at breakfast-time why they were absent last night when she and Sean were crying. From this we know that Sean was crying as well. The McCanns would only admit to this if they knew that someone else had definitley heard or observed Sean crying

* None of the eight claimed 'sightings' of Madeleine on 3 May can be relied on [see my earlier analysis of these eight so-called 'sightings']

* Cadaverine found in/on:-
- children's room in apartment
- Kate's clothes
- Madeleine's clothes
- flower bed near the steps
- Renault Scenic hire car

* Madeleine's blood found in children's room and possibly on steps.

So that leads us on to a possible

RECONSTRUCTION OF THE NIGHT'S EVENTS [2 MAY 2007]

1. McCanns put children to bed and administer the usual sedatives, Calpol, or maybe something stronger.

2. Maybe about 8pm to 9pm, they go out for another evening's heavy drinking - wine and strawberry daiquiris according to the Ocean Club waiters. Except that they may have gone to Chaplins that evening. Or somewhere else. There are no 'checking'/monitoring arrangements in place for the children at all. This has always been a lie by the McCanns.

3. Something wakes up Madeleine around 10.30pm. Something has disturbed her or worried her. She begins sobbing. Sean wakes up and starts sobbing as well.

4. Possibly, soon after Madeleine starts crying, she tries to get out of the apartment to find her parents. In doing so, she climbs on to the veranda and falls down the patio steps in the dark. Or possibly, she first tries to get out of the apartment, then falls down the steps and hurts herself badly, is unable to get up and starts crying. Possibly she had vomited in her bed, which would explain the Russell O'Brien incident of taking a sheet covered in vomit to be cleaned - plus the (fairly obviously) false story of one of his two children being sick that night.

5. By 11.45pm she is dead from loss of blood or other causes.

6. Sometime late evening Mrs Fenn calls Ocean Club staff and says: "Where are the McCanns? Get them".

7. Ocean Club roam the streets of Praia da Luz and track down the McCanns to Chaplins (or wherever else they were).

8. One or both McCanns return to the apartment, probably well afre midnight, and find Madeleine dead at the foot of the steps.

9. Other members of the Tapas 9 summoned to see if Madeleine can be revived. McCanns and members of Tapas 9 decide they cannot afford an autopsy and resolve to hide the body, claim abduction, clean up the apartment to remove all traces of blood, then devise the cunning plan of creating a hoax abduction scenario at 10.00pm the following evening.

10. During 3 May, clean-up operation progresses. Each of the Tapas 9 allocated their role in creating the abduction hoax. Detailed discussions about the plan held by the Tapas 9 men on the tennis courts in the afternoon.

11. Madeleine's body spirited away from Apartment 5a maybe to another apartment belonging to a member of the Tapas 9, then - before 10.00pm on 3 May - driven to a safe location away from Praia da Luz awaiting final disposal. Possibly 'the barn'.

12. Kate McCann takes poolside photo of Gerry plus one of the twins, at 2.29pm. Madeleine photoshopped in later when Gerry McCann returns to England for 48 hours around 20th May.

13. 'Phone numbers of media and ambassador etc. obtained during 3 May, ready for a sudden blitz of information to the media, from about 10.45pm onwards on 3 May, that 'a 3-year-old child on the Algarve has been dramatically abducted'.

14. 10.00pm on 3 May. Kate shouts 'abduction'. Media informed of 'abduction'. Police informed of 'abduction'.

The question to ask, is why would anyone think a private legal action for a criminal offence will win, where the British legal system (POlice and Prosecutors) have declined to prosecute?

Answer : IMO because it is all about personal publicity and nothing to do with Madeleine at all. He is an attention seeker. I hope that those that contribute to his 'club' are aware that it is not a charity (as this was so vitally important to them with the Find Madeleine Fund, because apparently they cant read and were duped into thinking it was a charity) and that depending upon how it is set up, he doesnt have to be accountable for the money. Of course, he could set it up so that the money can only be spent on certain things, but then the real thing to look for is how expenses are met, and what qualifies as a legitimate expense that the club will meet. After all, we woudnt want him paying for his petrol or mortgage, or anthing like that, as it is supposed to be for legal fees only.

After reading your last post, I wonder why I even bothered to post about this loonie.

What a moron?

Can we point out any flaws in his argument? Many but the main one would be his sanity.

Jeez, where do we start? How about the fact that Madeleine was seen by God knows how many witnesses on May 3rd, before she was abducted. That one alone shoots this 'theory' right out of the water. Is this pratt on drugs or summat??

i dont think so?hes going to be looking an even bigger pratt when this little girl maddie is found.
