"Amaral is old news I’m afraid and you really do need to move on." faithlilly
You are mistaken.
Amaral of his own volition has chosen to interject what is definitely FALSE evidence into an active police investigation as well as ensuring that what I assume to be highly confidential information regarding the identity of the German police prime suspect was released into the public domain.
Until Amaral chose to do that there was a general consensus that Ney was that person of interest. Amaral ensured that further speculation revealed Brueckner to the world.
In my opinion sceptics simply do not wish to discuss any information which reveals the bizarre and obsessive nature of this man; who not content with presiding over the flawed and botched investigation into Madeleine's disappearance appears to be interfering with the present German investigation.
Snip
Former Portuguese police chief Goncalo Amaral has revealed a German paedophile suspected over Madeleine McCann’s disappearance is not Martin Ney.
The ex-cop sparked speculation Ney was the prime suspect after saying in an interview earlier this year investigators were focusing on a German paedophile in prison.
________________________________________________________________
In his interview with an Australian podcast, he mentioned the possibility of a German paedophile being responsible - but he didn’t mention 49-year-old Hamburg-born child strangler Ney by name.
Instead he described the suspect only as someone who had been ruled out of the investigation into the missing British youngster in 2008 but later jailed in his home country.
Now Mr Amaral, the original lead investigator in the case, has now said the suspect isn’t Ney, who was jailed for life in 2012 for abducting and murdering three children, and sexually abusing dozens more.
When he was shown a photo of him on Spanish TV, Amaral responded: “It can’t be him.”
“A paedophile who is German and serving life for killing children has been spoken about,” he told a show about missing adults and children.
“What I know is that the suspect is not him, it’s another man. He’s also in prison in Germany. He’s also a paedophile.”
In a bizarre twist, Mr Amaral said the suspect looks similar to Madeleine’s dad Gerry before saying that Ney bears no resemblance to him.

As a matter of courtesy ~ please do not suggest either to me or any other member what or who is a topic for discussion just because in my opinion it embarrasses you as a sceptic; Amaral is current news and he took considerable pains to ensure that
Do you really think that mentioning Amaral embarrasses me ? Not in the slightest....however it does concern me the obsessive way he is constantly mentioned by supporters...this surely can’t be healthy, mentally.
As to the meat of your post....Amaral had no part in naming Bruckner. Firstly Wolter all but identified him while seeking further information....that had absolutely nothing to do with Amaral. After that the media named him...that again had nothing to do with Amaral.
To be clear it was Wolter’s appeal for information that eventually lead to Bruckner to be identified by the media....not Amaral’s mention of a German scapegoat more than a year before.
