Madeleine McCann’s parents have not been ruled innocent when it comes to their daughter’s disappearance, a judge in Portugal’s highest court has said.

Kate and Gerry McCann have vehemently denied any involvement in their daughter's disappearance from their holiday apartment in Praia da Luz.

However, they have been plagued by allegations suggesting they were involved, including former police chief Goncalo Amaral's claim that Maddie died in the flat and her parents faked her abduction to cover up the tragedy.
