The filming of the dogs in Luz August 2007

[G-Unit]

I can't work out if Amaral was present at that meeting.

Whether he was or not, it was Encarnacao who decided which suggested searches were to be carried out.

"On 25-07-07 the PJ Director decided his officers would re-search some of the areas suggested within the report. He also decided the order of their priority. These were the accommodation the McCann’s and their friends have occupied in Praia da Luz, the villa and the grounds occupied by Robert Murat, wasteland that surrounds these locations and any known vehicles the suspect, the McCanns and their friends had access to when Madeleine disappeared."
