Amaral had a Judgement against him for breach of contract and bad faith

[DCI]

Amaral had a Judgment against him for a fraud perpetrated against his brother, going back to when he was married before.

I believe that Sofia Leal, Amaral's second wife was also implicated along with Goncalo Amaral.

Yes, then they blame the McCann's for their financial woes

Interesting.  This happened in 2002 I do believe.

Defrauding ones brother, and brother in law has got to be the pits.

It's about as low as you can go.   Makes fascinating reading, thanks for posting this up, DCI.        Does he mention this at all in hid 'book', or in fact anywhere at all?

I see this thread is not well liked 

What with his  years of tax evasion. His fraud conviction, and repossession of his houses, hardly squeaky clean are they?

Nah! It was all the McCann's fault, according to the lovely Sofia 

Why did he never pay anything off from his book gains? Two of them working full time, they must have been rolling in it

Not at all clean in any way, shape or form.  You are right, not much interest so far, but the night is young and who knows what may happen in the wee small hours?   I do hope this stays up, it is a long read and I would be very upset if it vanished before I have had a chance to absorb all the details. let alone the twists!    >@@(*&)

No reason why it should vanish, Puffin. Its only the truth!

So?

And the UK police are sooo fragrant and squeeky clean arent they?

Googling brings up many more links

Unless you can bring up a direct and specific link or relevance between his private life and the Madeleine Mccann case, this thread is pretty pointless, unless it is to paint the Mccanns white somehow by painting Mr A black, doesnt work like that though

In my opinion Amaral should have been sacked from The PJ the minute he was convicted of that Fraud.  He's a crook for Christ's sake.
And that fraud was only the beginning.  At least, I hope it was.

He should have been sacked the 4th May 2007, when he was made an Arguido, in the torture case.
