So are you saying that from July 2008 when all journalists had access to a disc with the files on them, in Portuguese so no need to translate, to the ‘ask the dogs’ interview in November 2011 SF had no clue that she had been lied to by Amaral and it was, coincidentally, just a few days later that she found out ? Really ? A journalist of the calibre of the one being praised here did not have the professional curiosity to find out ?
As to your cite, people write all sorts in comments. You have Portuguese supporters in your midst, Pedro on JATKN and Maria on Rosiepops forum, didn’t she go rogue, spring to mind....if the interview with SF was so groundbreaking why wasn’t it translated by them ?
I'm not sure why you're referring to
November 2011.
- The case was archived on
21 July, 2008.
- Amaral's book came out on
24 July, 2008.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disappearance_of_Madeleine_McCann#cite_note-204- The CD of the files was apparently released during the first week of
August 2008 https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2008/aug/05/madeleinemccann.portugalI don't particularly feel like wading through the entire Netflix series again, but I believe Sandra said she'd gone through the files (particularly the DNA) in
October , I presume in
2008. I'm happy to stand corrected, if anyone else feels like checking.
The "ask-the-dogs" interview took place in London on
3 November 2009 and was shown on RTP on
5 Nov .

11 Nov, 2009.
Numerous disapproving comments by Amaral's supporters were posted on that thread concerning that interview, which - helpfully - offered the gist.
