Could you please explain why he got a two year suspended sentence if he didn’t witness the torture and wasn’t even in the building when it happened?

Of course he knew what happened; he was head honcho.  He directed everything.

I wouldn't know what hours/days he worked. All I asked is if there's evidence that he was there when this alleged torture occured. It seems there's no evidence he was.

The torture was not "alleged".  Leonor Cipriano was tortured.


Torture and other ill-treatment

Criminal investigations into allegations of torture and other ill-treatment by law enforcement officials continued in 2009.

On 22 May the Criminal Court of Faro issued its sentence in the case of the torture of Leonor Cipriano. The court recognized that she had been tortured in police custody in 2004, but acquitted all three police officers, claiming that it was impossible to identify exactly who had been responsible. A fourth officer was convicted of giving false testimony and another was convicted of falsifying documents. Leonor Cipriano's appeal was pending at the end of the year.

"All I'm going to say is that we've conducted a very serious investigation and there's no indication that Madeleine McCann's parents are connected to her disappearance. On the other hand, we have a lot of evidence pointing out that Christian killed her," Wolter told the "Friday at 9"....

And the same judicial system found Cipriano guilty of murdering her own small daughter.

Let’s count the months, shall we?

Amaral was responsible for these police officers and the fact that they thought it was acceptable to beat up this woman on his watch speaks volumes about him.

His collusion in attempting to cover it up and for which he was convicted confirms this.

The court decided he knew about the torture, so he got an 18 month suspended sentence for repeating to the court what Cardoso said in his report.

I would say it would be inconceivable taht Amaral did not know exactly what happened to Cipriano. Amaral was found guilty of false testimony....he helped cover up the torture...its about time you accepted that. Do you accept the beating of suspects is totally unacceptable

it seems he got the sentence for telling direct lies in court. For saying he asked cipriano if she had fallen down the stairs...and she replied yes...a direct and absolute lie to the court

How did he know about it if he didn’t see it and he wasn’t there?

And Leonor never made a sound while she was being beaten up and made to kneel on glass ashtrays.
