Perceptions of Madeleine's Abduction

[Vertigo Swirl]

Well found! A Portuguese person doubting Amaral. Was he a lone voice? The other perception of the abduction was also represented below that post;

Not only do I continue to think that the parents did it (at the very least they were negligent), but I have a hard time even posing the hypothesis that the other guy did it. Where's the evidence? I don't see any.

No he wasn't a lone voice.  Sandra F also doubted Amaral.  And I have no doubt after viewing her documentary that at least one other Portuguese person now also doubts him, so shall we say at least 3 people?

Why is Portugal doing nothing about Amaral's latest falsehoods, not to forget previous interference?

This almost beggars belief.

Was there not a Lawyer turned News Interviewer who made minced meat out of Amaral On Camera?

And then there was that Comic Sketch.  That was really funny, HaHa.

I had forgotten about that.  Miguel Sousa Tavares.

Miguel continues: you go to your home, wake up in the morning, this is in your book, and the first thing that comes to your brain is to ask the British who are the McCanns?
And you start immediately to suspect and ask questions, the questions you ask are: 

• if they hurt children,
• if the have a serious problem with law,
• if they have psychological problems,
• if they are in fact doctors in full time,

and then, much ahead you say is common sense in these cases to suspect of the parents, so,

• you have not yet seen the McCanns,
• you have not yet been at the crime scene

and you´re already suspect them? Is it, or is it not. You´re a master).

GA says: yes, then says, listen, I or any other, yes, yes, it´s normal, to suspect, you´re wrong, it´s common sense, listen doctor, you are making fantasies, something,
Miguel says: no, I´m not making fantasies, I read your book).

GA repeats: the issue is this: the national and international laws in any of these cases and we were criticised by the FBI about this, is the issue of suspect or not of parents, or the closest in these types of cases and I can tell you, (Miguel says: you believe, but I don´t say suspect, at a certain time now, the first suspicions is that it?).
GA says: it´s not the first suspicion, we have to know first who those people are.

Miguel says: Was it not most urgent to know if the borders were all closed? Are all the marinas under surveillance? All the cars who left there under control?).

He literally had Amaral squirming.  He didn't get the usual sycophantic 'interview' from Miguel.

Actually, it was even better than that, but it was quite long.  Amaral lost that one big time.

Amaral was hampered at the time by an injunction taken out by the McCanns to silence him.

Hampered in what way exactly?  Was this extract not from a tv interview that he was presumably not forced to give at gunpoint?  Hardly hampered was he?

Maybe, like the McCanns, he was tricked.

Did you see this interview?  One Portuguese gentleman who was not impressed by Amaral.

I think yet again you are posting misleading information despite my knowledge of the the gagging photo of Amaral with the plasters covering his mouth.

Portuguese law is a strange animal depending on which viewpoint you choose to adopt.  You must recall the "McCanns 'are hiding a big secret', claims" once upon a time propaganda punted around.  When, oh dear, all it was was compliance with Portuguese law and no 'secret' at all.

I think he was 'hampered' by the interviewer using a different script from that he was used to

Nota Bene
Mr McCann repeated once again that he couldn’t talk about matters under investigation by the Portuguese police and stormed out of the room, ripping his microphone from off his shirt.

In recent weeks the McCanns have suffered a barrage of hurtful and outrageous allegations in the Portuguese media suggesting they may have killed their daughter accidentally and been covering up ever since.

Under Portugal's strict "secrecy of justice" laws, the McCanns have been unable to hit back because they are not allowed to comment on the ongoing investigation.

The McCanns' spokeswoman, Justine McGuiness, said: "It was a long interview in a very hot room. Gerry was asked a series of questions about the investigation despite the fact that all the journalists had been told that the McCanns cannot answer questions about the investigation.

You just can’t answer a straight question can you?  You claim he was hampered when clearly he was quite the opposite, speaking his mind on a broadcast interview.

There were certain questions Gerry McCann claimed he couldn't answer due to the secrecy of justice. There were subjects Amaral was not suposed to discuss due to an injunction taken out by Kate and Gerry McCann. The difference was, imo, that one didn't want to discuss the investigation anyway and the other did.

So what other reason would there be for doing the interview?

As it was, Amaral didn't want to talk about The Cipriano Case either.  That was even more interesting than The McCann Case.
