Portuguese court throws out McCann family libel case

The Portuguese Supreme Court has thrown out a libel case brought by the British parents of Madeleine McCann who disappeared in 2007 while on holiday in Portugal. 

The McCanns brought the case after a former Portuguese detective published a book alleging Madeleine's parents were involved in the disappearance of their daughter.
