A security consultant whose company was paid ?300,000 from publicly donated funds to help find Madeleine McCann has been charged with a separate ?1.3m fraud.


Kevin Halligen, 48, from Surrey, is wanted in the United States for allegedly conning a law firm out of $2.1m in fees which he spent on himself, including the purchase of a mansion.

The Washington-based businessman, who styled himself as a security expert with FBI and MI5 connections has not been arrested because officials in the United States do not know where he is.

Halligen?s firm, Oakley International, was given a six-month contract by the Madeleine Fund in 2008 to carry out detective work and review CCTV footage of possible sightings of the missing girl around the world, but was dropped after six months because of a lack of progress.

Thousands of Britons donated money to the fund, which topped ?2m in the months after the toddler disappeared from a holiday flat in Portugal in May 2007.

Some of the money was spent on private detectives, including ?300,000 given to Oakley.


So that's ?300,000 donated by the public for nothing  ::) .....

Is absolutely everybody on the take  noooo:
