    Legally under Irish laws its the injured person who needs to sue for defamation but obviously he is missing so that cant happen. Theres no defamation in the article of the family themselves, only defamation of Jon by suggesting that he is connected to criminals.

    It appears to be very shoddy reporting that wasnt verified with more than one source to check its accuracy. Its a bad state of affairs by the Indo/Herald publishing that without properly checking with the Icelandic police that it is actually true. Because now other Icelandic media has published the same thing and they've gone and associated Jon with criminality in his home country. It is a hard enough time for the family without this on top of everything.

    Might be worth their case taking a defamation case against the Indo and Herald in that case - its what they write on their fB page is true then they shouod have a string case. Herald/Indon has has deep pockets. It would further fund their legal hunt if nothing else.

    Find it hard to believe the Indo/Herald would print such untruths without any kind of verification or effort made. Hugely risky for them financially.

    Can you libel a missing person though? It seems somewhat unlikely....you have to have an actual person still around in order to harm their reputation.

    It really is a strange case. Hope his family get some closure on this.
