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

Cipriano's lawyer confirms he was paid by McCanns to "investigate" Gonçalo Amaral

The lawyer says that he defends Joana’s mother for free and that the McCanns paid him to “investigate” Gonçalo Amaral

by Luís Maneta

“Was Dr Gonçalo Amaral in charge”; “Was Dr Gonçalo Amaral present?”; “Did Dr Gonçalo Amaral hit you?”. Gonçalo Amaral, Gonçalo Amaral, Gonçalo Amaral – this seems to be the obsession of Leonor Cipriano’s defense lawyer during the trial that opposes Joana’s mother to five Judiciária inspectors.

Three policemen stand accused of torture: Pereira Cristóvão, Leonel Marques and Paulo Marques Bom. But Leonor’s lawyer, Marcos Aragão Correia, has pointed his guns at Gonçalo Amaral, who in this process stands accused of false testimony and omission of denunciation.

“This doesn’t look like a trial in the Joana case but rather one in the Maddie case”, says a source that is connected to the defense of the former coordinator of the PJ in Portimão, who headed the investigations into the disappearance of both children and became a sort of “public enemy #1” for the McCann couple.

“A possible condemnation of Gonçalo Amaral in this process may make it easier for the English to prosecute the Portuguese state”, the source says.

They have paid the expenses

When confronted by 24Horas with the suspicions about his connection to the Maddie case, Marcos Aragão confirmed that he was already paid by persons that are connected to the McCanns. “They haven’t paid me honoraries but rather expenses due to transportation, lodging and food, in order to interview João Cipriano in prison”, the lawyer explained, adding that the purpose of the conversation was to “analyze” the procedures of Amaral as a PJ investigator.

Following the investigation – which originated a report from the Association Against Exclusion through Development (ACED) – Aragão Correia says that he accepted to represent Leonor Cipriano without charging one cent.

“I accepted this case for humanitarian reasons only. I am not receiving any honoraries”, the lawyer asserted, referring that the “attacks” against Gonçalo Amaral are linked to Leonor Cipriano’s strategy in this case: “It’s not an obsession. I can’t insist on the other arguidos because she has not identified them”.

Yesterday’s session at the Court in Faro was marked by a new contradiction from the plaintiff. On Monday, Leonor Cipriano had guaranteed that Gonçalo Amaral did not watch the questioning during which she allegedly suffered abuse in order to make her confess to her daughter’s death. Yesterday, Joana’s mother corrected her version: “Gonçalo Amaral beat me”. When questioned by the judge, she said she had recovered her memory after watching a report on television.

No you and davel are just diverting.

No you and davel are just diverting.

You are just libelling.

AND getting away with it.

Please explain the libel and who I am libelling?

Déjà vu.

Post number 607 on this thread, by you, is libel.

If you can't see why then you should desist, forthwith, from accusing other posters of libel, and especially issuing sin-bin points to other posters for posts you perceive to be 'libel'

Congratulations, so you can use Google.  Regardless, the article was a 24horas report.

Joana merely lifted the report from 24horas but then you should have known that.  These attempts to rewrite history are hilarious but to be expected.

Bottom line is we know who paid Correia. who gave him his orders and what it all was really about.

A) you responded to #637
B) #607 isn't libellous

"Do you agree the myth that Kate was offered a deal has been debunked?" Was based on davel's argument as summarised in #637.

If there was any wrongdoing by Correia, both Pragal Colaco & Cabrita would have lodged complaints - and they didn't. Of course, this is the same Colaco who produced photographs of Leonor's injuries outside the court & insinuated that they'd been photo-shopped.
If there's one thing you can say about Amaral, it's that he seems to be an incredibly unlucky victim of the very justice system he desperately sought to defend.

Maybe not photoshopped but appeared to be with a very wide angle lens.

I stand corrected on the number.

But post 607 is assuredly libel.

Interesting that you should have located the post in question despite my slip with its number.

If you can't see why it is libel, you are beyond help.

And, looking back at my original post, unedited, I stated the correct number.

so now we have the answer
no evidence of any deal. There could not be any deal because correia was not in a position to make one. He could in no way promise reduced sentences and the whole idea he did is absurd. Im surprised that some  mods and posters could just not see this and insisted on perpetuating a myth....at least this is one myth that has been well and truly debunked. Ive always claimed that those who disbelieve the mccannns do so because they are not very good at wighing up the evidence and that has been proved on this thread.

Do you agree the myth that Kate was offered a deal has been debunked?

The libel is highlighted.
