Ill fated decision ???
They are responsible for what they failed to do, not Amaral.
As to his other debts, they would have to be agreement among his creditors.
Is he bankrupt ?
Mr Amaral bears full responsibility for the straightened financial position he finds himself in today and in the past; with perhaps the brief period when he made his fortune from the proceeds of the book of lies which perhaps marks his sole success concerning the investigation into Madeleine McCann's disappearance.
The question remains should a person who was in such debt and who was made an arguido in the case of the alleged torture of the mother of a missing child the day after Madeleine's disappearance have had anything whatsoever to do with Madeleine's case?
I think the judge's ruling is an indication of her learned opinion on the matter.
Now it remains to be seen what the appeal court judges decide if it even reaches that stage.
