Former Portuguese detective Gonçalo Amaral wins appeal in damages trial.

[Alice Purjorick]

There is still the chance that the Portuguese Supreme Court will set right this aberrant bout of fascist flatulence by the Portuguese judiciary and restore the (perfectly proper) judgement of the court of first-instance.

But if that doesn't happen, then we can talk about the ECHR

True.
The ECHR however can make a ruling, if it goes that far, the judgment would be against The State of Portugal but the ECHR  have no power of enforcement.

[Brietta]

As such, I cannot see them going down that route.

Happy to be surprised though, but really doubt it.

Why do you doubt that their good name isn't worth fighting for? Would that be your attitude had you been traduced as they have?

They did to themselves Brietta, by their behaviour.

Since the beginning of this Amaral trial its always been about the money, no matter how much they deny it. As such, I don't see them bothering with the time it would take to keep this going when there is not a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.

Yes, they'll go as far as the Supreme Court as there's little more to lose and they might just win, but I think they'll go no further, claiming that it would distract them from their search for Madeleine.

I will let this post stand as it represents your own personal view ferryman.  It must however be pointed out that the judgement was made by some of the most qualified and senior judges in Portugal who are familiar with the law.

Is it normal to sue for defamation without asking for damages?

When Goncalo Amaral sued Marcos Aragão Correia and António Pedro Dores for defamation did he ask for damages or was he content merely to have him (Correia) committed to an insane asylum?

[G-Unit]

Because they misunderstood the alerts

It doesn't matter how they arrived at their conclusions, the point I'm making is that the team agreed on the conclusions presented in the September 2007 Interim Report, which is where Amaral's book ended. No matter how much blame is heaped on him, he didn't depart from the conclusions of the investigation.

Didn't Paiva say In Court that Amaral's "Thesis" stopped them from following any other avenues?

Anyone know why we are suddenly inundated with hundreds of guests from Germany looking at the Martin Ney connection with the Madeleine McCann case?

Martin Ney

Curious to say the least as he only had crimes against boys including the three murders.

Likewise no evidence he was in Portugal at the time.

We'll it seems, the guests have all but departed.

Ricardo Paiva stated in court that the "thesis", as you like to call it, did not harm the investigation. The mistake was made by the journalist, in the court room, who forgot the word "not" when he sent his tweet. This has been pointed out several times, but there are those who continue to repeat this story.

Who were the Judges, John ?

What were their names and positions?

Can you tell me please ?

Thanks in anticipation

You're right. Dr. Corte Real confirmed that there was a preliminary report which stated that it was Madeleine's DNA. How some people here understand the opposite is beyond my comprehension.

IIRC, the woman who saw the car boot open is Portuguese and a "jurista" and she appeared on GA's documentary.

How on earth do you get away with spouting this crap?

Corte-Real was full-square with the FSS's interpretation of the forensic results and said nothing about a 'preliminary report' (unsurprisingly, because there wasn't one, just an explanatory email from John Lowe to Stuart Prior about a result from the, one-and-only, report)
