Can witness statements be used in evidence against them in a court of law in Portugal?

How do you think anyone who gives a false witness statement can be prosecuted, in Portugal, for giving a false witness statement?

The nearest offence I can think of in the UK is perverting the course of justice.

Or half a Trump state visit.

Half a Trump is half aTrump too many!
Oooops wrong board.

Amaral was prosecuted for false testimony as a witness... That's how....

[Mr Gray]

Only an arguido can incriminate themself... A witness cannot

[Mr Gray]

You mean like Kate and Gerry? They've done a hell of a job of it IMO.

The statements cannot be used against them... Apart from gerrys arguido statement

I don't imagine they will be "furious" !
Goodness me in your last post you felt they should be indicating their gratitude for the further funding.
I really have no idea of how complicated their feelings must be.
A mixture of gratitude, hope, grief, worry.........but not fury.

A lack of gratitude to the HO for the funding. Furious, yes furious, that after almost £13 million and 8 years their daughter’s fate is still unknown.
Perhaps that’s why we have had no direct thanks from the parents to OG in years and, it is reported, a complaint was made against several of it’s officers.

Weird logic.  Faithlilly believes a) that the parents are guilty of hiding their child’s body and b) that they are furious with OG for not finding their daughter after 8 years.  This.  Does.  Not.  Compute.

You know there has been no direct thanks from the parents to the personnel of OG.?
Who made this complaint you reference to?
And again where is the cite for the fury you allude to?

Could be they're a bit miffed that OG have dragged it out so long, without signing it off with the blame all being on Jimmy abductor.

Could be they’re ecstatic that after 8 years and twelve million quid the Met still haven’t come knocking on their front door with the handcuffs...

Is there an indication that they are either furious or miffed with the OG investigation?

Well, that as well, of course. Now they have to endure another year.

[Erngath]

Endure another year of what?

[jassi]

Endure another year of what?

Doubt, uncertainty, Facebook, Twitter, internet forums. Take your pick

[Mr Gray]

Endure another year of what?

Of not knowing what happened to their daughter
