Is this new suspect revelation just too convenient given the 12th anniversary?

I think we've gone Off Topic even quicker than usual ... please stay with the topic of the thread.  It is an intelligent topic with plenty of meat on the bones of it surely.  Let's stick to it please ... if even just this once ...

To paraphrase Anthony Summers in Looking for Madeleine, if the German being targeted is the man in the mask, as early as 2009 the parent’s private detectives had taken an interest in him. Now, if true, that is a coincidence, arguably the biggest one by far.

Was the Netflix documentary the first time the man in the mask entered the public arena ... or has he been mentioned any time in the past?

It is possible the person of interest to the McCann detectives in 2009 has already been found and checked out.  If he is still a person of interest and still being pursued by the police I think the coincidence lies in the ineptitude of the Amaral investigation to check him out in 2007 to eliminate him before casting around for a parental patsy to pin a crime on.

Think about it carefully.
This guy was an offender prior to the McCanns setting foot on the tarmac in Portugal.
Apparently he was ignored by the PJ.
It took the McCann detectives to consider him of interest in 2009.  Somebody somewhere was negligent back in 2007.

Much will depend upon whether he is a serious contender or not. It may just be a case of ticking another box.
As usual, time will tell.

The masked man was mentioned in Summers book.

As to the ineptitude of Amaral’s investigation how do we know that the information wasn’t supplied on Rebelo’s watch and even if not Rebelo was the coordinator of the investigation for longer than Amaral so why did he not use his time usefully by checking out the information?

Funny though that the people who have appeared to check masked man out are the parent’s PIs.

All very convenient.

Amaral said it weeks ago to MS.

So, let’s try and figure out how Amarl knew in advance that the media was going to make up this anniversary tale?  Any ideas?

You tell us,I doubt you've had a good word to say about him 3/05/2007.

Is it important ?

Is it important ?

Important no?  Entertaining yes, to see how those in denial about this news and believe it’s been engineered by the McCanns, can spin a logical explanation out of it.

What’s this thread about then?  What does “too convenient” mean?  Faithlilly mentioned that she does not believe it’s true and suggested that the McCanns PR agency in Portugal must be behind it.  So, I ask again, how did Amaral know about it, if the deniers are right?

How did Amaral know about what,there is nothing offical from the PJ.

Cooey massa davel for you as well.

Detectives investigating the 12-year-old mystery have been given extra resources to look at a “new clue” and “new suspect”, reported Portuguese daily Correio da Manha.
There was no immediate official response in Portugal to today’s report, which coincides with the 12th anniversary of Madeleine’s disappearance.

Biiiiiig sigh.   Amaral claimed weeks ago some German paedo was going to be scapegoated.  His inside knowledge has now been backed up by the news reports.  Can you explain this sequence of events?
