And the ‘why didn’t you come when I was crying’ leak on Rebelo’s watch ?
And while Leonor Cipriano was being beaten to a pulp and her missing daughter Joanna was having books written about her to line the pockets of 'top cop' Cristovao; while tourist children were being assaulted in their beds by a predator; while Amaral was leaking pejorative tales to journalists and taking notes for
his book on a missing child ... the likes of Christian Brueckner had set up their own crime waves in which burglary played a big part.
It seems the Portuguese police were too entrenched in the things which were of paramount importance to them such as the leaking of witness statements such as you have detailed in your post or making a big issue of 'THE PACT of SILENCE' from people bound by Portuguese law to silence ... to notice the real criminality going on right under their noses.
Incompetence or what but most certainly a disgrace and the Christian Brueckner investigation hasn't half highlighted it and the world is no doubt taking note of the sort of shambles Amaral and some of his colleagues were presiding over in the Algarve region.
