The statement dated 6th May doesn't look like it was produced by a UK police force. It looks more like an unsigned letter.
There are some who put the Month before the day when writing a date.  This is obvious when the day in the month is higher than 12 but confusing at lower times.

06/05/2007 could be the 6th of May or the 5th of June depending on the style of writing the date.

if the date was 06/15/2007 it is recognisable as being the 15th June 2007.

Is that the only reason you have?    The way the statement reads it was NOT taken by the PJ, more likely UK police, but was that still in Portugal or was he back in the UK?

In fact there is an untranslated sentence heading the statement from Paul Gordon mentioning "Leicestershire police".

I have no idea if anyone has officially complained about any interpreter. What I'm saying is that doing so after 11 years is far too late to do it.

You must be aware that Kate says in her book she raised the issue at the second interview and was told iff by the intepreter.... And eventually was so concerned about the statements, accuracy made, a new, statement using Control Risks which were passed to the PJ

The paper used in the photocopier  could have had PJ watermarks as well.

Paul Gordon's 'statement' had nothing tp do with the PJ.

It was sent to Portugal with his two rogatory interviews in May 2008.
