Lace's post (to which you reply) is entirely factual.
If Amaral had kept his accusations confined to the process where he was fully entitled to make them, there would have been no action by the McCanns; indeed, no basis for them to bring an action.
And if Amaral had respected the rules of confidentiality imposed upon him by his position, (as Rebelo, largely, managed to do) the same.
Amaral abused his position, breached laws of secrecy to which he was subject and accused without foundation.
Those are the facts ...
I have revisited Lace's post and highlighted why her 'facts' need supporting.
In reply to your 'facts'; the Appeal Court did not take the view that a retired police officer was bound by the laws of secrecy. Until another judgement is made that is no longer a fact. They thought there was no problem with him having a theory based on the facts of the investigation, or with him publishing his theory in his book.

It doesn't stray from the fact that Amaral started the hostility towards the McCann's,
[Cite that he started it?] that he was writing his book whilst still a Police Officer,
[Retired] that details were leaked which shouldn't have been under Portuguese strict confidentiality law
[Cite that it was him wot did it]and that he lied in his book about the DNA and the fact the McCann's drugged their daughter.
[Part of his theory?] We'll see.
