I have been trying to work out why now?? Why after more than six long years of basically nothing really have we now got this sudden new initiative involving both the Brits and the Portuguese?
If I were a sceptic I would say that it was timed to coincide with the final days of the McCann - Amaral libel trial because let's face it, it isn't going too well for some people.
Views please??

whats up ..are you worried it will effect amaral >@@(*&)
-
what is happening now is the result of 2 years of reviews by SY and Portuguese authorities - it is not sudden, but the result of a lot of background work.

You may be right. It really isn't going well for Amaral at all but I don't see how any of this will help him.

The libel trial is going exceedingly well for Amaral and there is no denying that aspect. The McCanns for their part have failed to produce a single witness who could have spoken to events in Portugal.
But that aside, is it also coincidental that a new Attorney General (a female this time) has been appointed in Portugal? Could there be much more going on than just wanting to resolve the Madeleine case? Is this AG out to make a name for herself...has she too joined the bandwagon and is attempting to glorify her stewardship on the back of a missing 10 year old British girl??

Do you really think SY have spent 5 million pounds to scupper the libel trial...bizarre
The most important thing is the search for what happened to Maddie and I think anyone with half a brain can see now that the initial investigation was poor.
Secondly why are so many people trying to pretend that the libel trial is going badly for the McCanns...same as amaral tried to pretend that the investigation was going badly for the McCanns...what are they afraid of...

Personally I think it's difficult to say how well a libel trial is going. It's too subjective. It's not like there's an online scoreboard we can look at, it's not as if Ronaldo has scored a brace in the last ten minutes.

You may think there is no denying it but others will beg to differ.
You do not have the monopoly on opinion.
Perhaps you do not appreciate that the purpose of the trial is not simply to have "spoken to events in Portugal" whatever that rather odd usage of English might mean.
Perhaps the purpose is simply to show effect which would be the norm for trials in which the focus is the effect of the defamation?
And sorry, I don't subscribe to conspiralunacy in the way your last paragraph suggests.

you only need to read the reports to understand that the argument that mr amaral in someway damaged the search for madeleine is so far from the truth to be laughable. the mccanns ran away home when the going got tuff and that is what damaged the search for madeleine. they abandoned her in her hour of need and shame on them for doing so.
ps and now they want to blame someone else.

Your post makes no sense...look at the red highlight
As far as I am concerned the trial is going very bad for amaral..from what I have read...none of his pals/witnesses have read his book

Pushing open doors ? ?{)(**

Have you?
just read his witness statements...Tavares...what am I doing here he was heard saying...then when asked if he had read the book he replied no and was instantly dismissed..what a brilliant witness
Then we have amarals lawyer saying Maddie may still be alive...what about the dogs,,
a complete and utter shambles but you think its going well... how could it be going any worse

I have read his book, watched his documentary video and also read/watched a lot of his media performances.
My view of the trial (from what has been reported) is that he has conceded libel and the only matter before the court is the level of damages - hence the type of witnesses that are being heard.

The post makes so much sense and would in fact explain a lot of other things

And the other defendants? >@@(*&)
The ones who will have had lawyers check before publication and transmission of the documentary. They are not amateurs in courtrooms.

It would -- not least Amaral's lawyer's extraordinary admission at the beginning of the trial that Madeleine could be alive -- and his submission that proceedings be in camera to protect her.
I still can't fathom how that didn't lead to an instant collapse of Amaral's defence.

Yes, I have to agree. There is little doubt that the McCanns will win their case, the only question to resolve will be the level of damages.

And that was really an hour of need because data seemed to point to the abduction of a dead body. Rejecting the idea without examining carefully the data with the PJ, and in order to resuscitate her, they started to inundate the planet with a virtual Madeleine, regularly aged for the sake of plausibility, when in fact they had buried her first with their refusing to collaborate and then with their hiring a series of crooks.
The case is reopened and the focus is on the abductor : QED.

I am not sure that anyone can "abduct" a dead body.

Ferryman, when will you realise that genuine lawyers are neutral. They defend the position of their client, whatever that position is.
I spoke to the lawyers, there's only one who has a personal opinion about this case, the others hardly know it and mainly aren't interested in it.

I think it is something to do with Amaral's right to say whatever he likes without a scrap of proof. Free Speach, in other words.
I have no idea if he will win or lose. But I do know that Portugal will live to regret a can of worms if he wins. Imagine the back lash from that. They will all be at it.

odd that a self confessed [ censored word ] is expressing doubt on another thread. Maybe he/she is not "real"?
