Sandra Felgueiras says of Goncalo Amaral >
I have my well-educated opinion on this matter, but while I listen, my job is to report facts, not rumours, nor convictions.
But my real duty to public opinion is no less when we are talking about a politician or a police officer.
Or a former police officer who relentlessly influenced the public opinion.
For this reason, in 2008, when I read all the volumes of the investigation conducted by Gonçalo Amaral, I found that the alleged evidence he collected against the McCann couple was not evidence but assumptions. A kind of "copy-paste" of what I had done in the Joana case investigation.
The so-called evidence found by the dogs in the room of the apartment where they vacationed and in McCann’s rental car a month after their daughter’s disappearance has not been lab-confirmed to belong to Madeleine.
And it was this irrefutable fact by science that led the Portuguese justice system to eliminate them.
