Gerry McCann hopes to give evidence at libel trial
ITV News understands that Gerry McCann, the father of missing Madeleine, is hoping to give evidence in the family's libel case against a former police detective in Portugal today.
Goncalo Amaral has published a book making allegations about the three-year-old's disappearance, which the McCanns say has poisoned public opinion in Portugal against the family and deterred search efforts.
The law in Portugal is thought to have changed in July, allowing complainants to now give evidence in libel cases. Gerry McCann's sister Trish Cameron is also likely to give evidence.
