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.

With Amaral’s incompetence and his subsequent vindictiveness taken out of the equation I am of the opinion that Madeleine’s case would have been viewed entirely differently both during the investigation and after.
Amaral wrote a libellous book exonerating himself.
He has spent thirteen years+ appearing on television to denigrate her parents.
His latest effort being twofold. Promoting false information about the prime suspect in Madeleine’s case while also promoting in the same interview false information about Madeleine’s father.
I doubt very much if any of the 'evidence' he has made a career of promoting is worth any more than the dreadlocks he photoshopped onto Brueckner's photograph for the edification of any who would listen and be fooled by him.
Believe it or not ... there are those who hang onto his every word as though it were gospel truth ... glad that doesn't embarrass you or them.
