A security consultant accused of conning the McCann family of £300,000 to find their missing daughter Maddie is appealing for public funding to fight his extradition to the United States on fraud charges. Security consultant Kevin Halligen, 48, allegedly cheated Dutch company Trafigura out of £1.3million by claiming he could secure the release of their employees from an Ivory Coast jail.
