Goncalo Amaral.

[Mr Gray]

"ande by gunit"?

Don't give up your day job.

 

I certainly wont..its far too rewarding....Im not a typist....I see you are just trying to deflect from the fact gunit made the post that you thought was so  laughable

[Mr Gray]

Cut the sarcasm, if you please.  There is no need for it.

I'm actually fine with it. Its an admission  that the poster cant address the point made in the post.

I know.  But I mind and I am not fine with it.

Actually both posts do prove a point.

Initially, when Goncalo Amaral became the almost invisible man ... my thoughts were exactly that ... "If, by some chance, the ECHR finds that Portugal has breached the McCann's human rights they will have achieved more than if they had defeated Amaral. They will have discredited not just him, but his entire country." G-unit

Nor does it appear that there is anything anyone can say about his lack of a media profile over the past few months or I'm sure someone would have gone to the bother of posting it.

It really does suggest to me that things have gone quiet as a result of yet another of Cristavao's convictions for serious crime and whether or not Goncalo Amaral is presently also being investigated.

Someone knows whether or not there is any foundation in Spanish press reports from December saying unequivocally he is ...
Snip
Gonçalo Amaral, who had been the chief investigator of the Madeleine McCann case, is also suspected of participating in the criminal network . However, he will remain free until his judicial situation is defined.

... or someone telling us he is not (maybe even him?)  Should be easy enough one would have thought.

Wow, SIL on 50% - did he kill someone??

Makes even you wonder! 

[Venturi Swirl]

Makes even you wonder! 

Yes because in the past he has been incredibly rude, transgressing forum rules and the most he has ever received is 5% warning, so this time it must have been very serious indeed.

Anyway ... does anyone have anything of interest to say about Goncalo Amaral and his apparent reticence to hit the airwaves of late (really not like him}.

I've speculated on three? options ...

• he may be worried about the McCann action in the ECHR and decided to wait for the outcome
• there may be implications for him arising from the Cristovao affair
• he may have finally seen the light and realised the wrong path he took regarding Madeleine's investigation and in particular, its aftermath

Love the third option.

[Mr Gray]

Love the third option.

He surely must see now just how wrong he was

[Brietta]

Love the third option.

I don't think he is a stupid man so I think it has probably been apparent to him for quite some time but the fees for his TV appearances as a Madeleine pundit no doubt came in handy.

Which leads me back to option two.  He did nothing that Cristovao didn't also do like two peas in a pod as regards Madeleine and her family.  I think he may be feeling the heat from that association.

As media interest in general has declined I don't find it significant at all that Amaral has made no comment lately. The McCanns and Clarence Mitchell are also keeping quiet.

I very much doubt it.  Presuming he believed it all in the first place, which I also doubt.

What is significant is that he had been mentioned Re the Christavao case... Which really doesn't surprise me

Media interest in almost everything but corona virus has waned but that is recent ... Amaral's radio silence long predates that.

The McCanns and Clarence Mitchell will not speak while Madeleine's disappearance is subject of a live investigation, I think you know that;  unlike Amaral who has never shown the same reticence under any circumstances.
