VC - Did VCFilmes put this documentary on-line?
AS says that they didn't, they were the victims of a fraud and started an action against the hackers.
VC - Did your association (FEVIP) protest against foreign sites?
AS says "no".
VC - Was VCFilmes damaged in the process?
AS - Of course they were. If people have free access to the documentary on the Web, it represents a significant loss of clients.
VC - Are you sure that VCFilmes didn't authorise this?
AS - Absolutely.
VC - Have you some knowledge of the Criminal Process in the Madeleine case?
AS says he knows some parts of it but none in particular.
VC - Have you seen, in the documentary, parts that weren't in the Criminal Inquiry?
AS answers "no".
VC - What about the facts themselves?
AS says he doesn't know the details, but he thinks that what is in the book is in the Criminal Inquiry. He adds that GA's book analyses the case from the perspective of the investigator, namely, Gonçalo Amaral.
VC - But this perspective ended up not being confirmed.
AS says he doesn't understand what the lawyer means.
VC - What is the conclusion of the book?
AS - The evidence established at that determinate time allowed for some conclusions. The shelving of the case was months afterwards. The book, which was published afterwards, might have divergence points, but it clearly states that there is case for further investigations.
