The Portuguese Archiving Report - What if anything does it mean?

[pegasus]

the whole idea proposed by amaral is absurd which the final report acknowledges

Rare but there have been a couple of cases where failure to solve was (easy to see in retrospect) due to misassumption of the time window.

The AR doesn't mention Dr Amaral at all as he was but one cog in a very big wheel.  This is where the critics argument falls down because the police investigation was one of collective rather than the individual.

[Albertini]

The Ministério Público is the Portuguese body of autonomous magistrates formed of public prosecutors. It is a body of the Portuguese judicial system which includes the Procuradoria-Geral da República.

The Portuguese criminal investigation police, the Polícia Judiciária, is supervised by the Ministério Público.

So what is the public prosecutor if not part of the judicial system?

So is the Crown Prosecution Service  in the Uk, but since when can they make judicial findings?

never said the final report mentions amaral...but the ideas he put forward in his book were rejected by the final report

That is why it remains 'type of crime unknown'.
