Método 3, Marcos Aragão Correia and the campaign to discredit Gonçalo Amaral.

[stephen25000]

I was curious what this actual campaign to discredit consisted of though - eg did he use unfounded allegations? Because "a campaign to discredit" sounds like he's being accused of dishonest tactics to me.  I have no real view on this as I don't know or remember what Correia is supposed to have done to "discredit" Amaral specifically (excuse my ignorance).

We would have to go through the 'history' between the two men to do that thoroughly.

Well Alfie, he did try to persuade 4 of Amaral's colleagues to do a 'deal' implicating Amaral.

Now I believe in this country that could be labelled as interfering with witnesses, which I believe is a criminal offence.

Once Marcos Aragão Correia took over the management of Leonore Cipriano's case against the men accused of beating her to a pulp while she was in police custody it seems that it developed a more positive direction.

Nor does it seem that Marcos Aragão Correia  had any compunction on setting his sights on Goncalo Amaral.

For why?

No idea at all.

Maybe he is just a decent guy who harbours a total disregard for torturers or those who cover up for torturers.

Covering up a criminal offence is actually a heinous thing to do and I think covering up torture ranks as one of the lowest.
The implication is summed up as follows ...
" ... in an active cover-up, deception is used
The expression is usually applied to people in positions of authority who abuse power to avoid or silence criticism or to deflect guilt of wrongdoing."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cover-up

Anyway, I found it interesting that Amaral supporters are still providing links to the opinions of Paulo Pereira Cristóvão ... I thought he was now persona non grata so it is good to see that some weight still attaches to his pronouncements in some circles whereas in others they are still treated with the contempt they always merited.

Quote
Paulo Pereira Cristóvão, former PJ's and one of 5 accused of Faro, accuses Marcos Aragão Correia had been trying to make "a deal" with the defendants. "And this business was: Gonçalo Amaral all charge what do I do with that Leonor Cipriano say you have nothing to do with this-now these agreements, only in Hollywood!" quips Pereira Cristovão.

Yes, I know what it says as it was accompanied by a translation. I knew that posting the translation rather than the original would probably not be accepted so just posted the original. It doesn't contain the target hit comment but supports the point that he was brought on board to discredit GA.

So still no support for the target was hit
Sounds like a myth

Fascinating.

However, but an inevitable backing of Correia by a McCann supporter, to the exclusion of all else.

The myths , we leave to those who are in denial.

Marcos Aragão Correia appears to be an honourable man who defended his client in court to the best of his ability.  In doing so he highlighted Goncalo Amaral's malfeasance.

Goncalo Amaral is a convicted criminal; only in a topsy-turvy environment or a parallel universe could Marcos Aragão Correia be considered the villain and Goncalo Amaral the hero.

Maybe you hadn't noticed but Marcos Correia is a fantasist who needs help imo.

Do we have any independent evidence of this
The answers no

[Mr Gray]

We are looking for the truth
Lots of accusations but no evidence to support them

[Mr Gray]

The myths , we leave to those who are in denial.

You have not supplied anything of substance to support the accusation
The one report we have from outside the court doesn't mention it
You are in denial

[Mr Gray]

Maybe you hadn't noticed but Marcos Correia is a fantasist who needs help imo.

You are aware Amaral sued him and lost
You know nothing about him apart from what has been posted online by amaral supporters which means none of it is verified
You have been duped imo

Well if you had bothered to search through his history , honourable is not a term I would ever describe to Correia.

Look at the example I gave a few hours ago.

You're not looking for the truth.

You're looking at anything to attack Amaral.

Precisely Angelo.

Another claim with no verification
You have been duped
