Papers paying damages to McCanns

Written: 19th March, 2008

"Substantial" damages are being paid to the parents of Madeleine McCann by four newspapers, after they settled a libel case over reports of her disappearance.

The Daily and Sunday Express, and the Daily Star and Daily Star Sunday, are also printing front-page apologies.

They say they were wrong to suggest the couple, of Rothley, Leicestershire, were responsible for Madeleine's death.

The McCanns say the money will go to the find Madeleine fund. She went missing in Portugal on 3 May last year.

Madeleine disappeared, days before her fourth birthday, during a family holiday in the resort of Praia da Luz, in the Algarve.
