Cite?
My possible motives? Gosh, you are such a joker at times. The cite is there, you only have to GOOGLE, Im sure even you can manage that?
But lets be KIND to you
Wife of Gonçalo Amaral denies having reported her husband to the PJ for abuse and threats of death O Crime (appears in paper edition only)
"Our marriage went through a difficult phase and he always respected me"
Interviewer: José Leite
Issue: 19 February 2009
Thanks to 'Beachy' for translation
- "The McCann couple is clearly guilty of one thing: not telling the truth"
- "Gonçalo Amaral had no choice: to defend his dignity he had to leave the PJ"
In an exclusive interview in "O Crime", Sofia Leal, wife of Gonçalo Amaral, said the letter that the press suggested was directed to the PJ, and which speaks of insults, death threats and her husband's alcoholism is false, and that its disclosure is intended only to tarnish the image of the principal investigator of the "Maddie case".
Meanwhile, in a notice filed this week in the Court of Faro, Leonor's lawyer, who made the letter public, requested that the National Director of the PJ confirm the authenticity of the document.
O Crime - Do you consider that the letter disclosed by Leonor's lawyer is false? Then how is it explained that your signature is on it? What do you think is behind its dissemination in the current context?
Sofia Leal - Completely false, both the content and authorship. Furthermore, we need only look at the credibility and reputation of those who made it public, it is just one more slander, an attempt to tarnish the image of my husband. It seems that this time, in a desperate attempt, they are attacking one of the key pillars of Gonçalo Amaral's life: the family.
Accepting that the letter is false, has any legal action been taken against the perpetrator of the forgery?
Let me be very frank: unlike my husband, I do not believe in the justice system. This is not a critical sector, or even corporate. I respect, of course, the professionals of this sector. But, like nearly all the Portuguese, I know what would happen. From here until ten years, more or less, we would be in court discussing this issue, which, meanwhile, would have already expired. Anyway, I hope that Dr. Marcos Aragão, in the near future, will be committed in order to receive psychiatric treatment, his dementia being declared and considered inimputable in relation to the acts he has committed. Anyway, this week he will be reported to the Ethics Council of the Bar, an institution that does not accept in its midst people who do not conduct themselves with dignity in the career of the law.
Did Gonçalo Amaral once threaten you with death and insulted [you] as it says in the letter?
Never, as I said, the content of the document is completely false. Gonçalo is a very (sometimes too) peaceful person. [Anyone] who lives with us and knows our relationship knows the affection and respect with which he has always treated me. And this is indeed the pillar of our relationship.
