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

[Mr Gray]

Shouldn't this be on a new thread entitled "Amaral and his campaign to discredit Aragao Correia"?

That's what I have been suggesting for some time

Maddie and Joana: Crossroads

SIC in-depth report is signed by the journalists Pedro Coelho and Rita Jordao, camera by Luís Pinto and edition by Ricardo Tenreiro.

Metodo 3, the Spanish detective agency hired by the McCanns, tried to seduce Leonor Cipriano's lawyer to change course of defence. The agency's operatives wanted to make Gonçalo Amaral - the former PJ coordinator of Portimão and responsible for the investigation of the disappearance of Madeleine and Joana, daughter of Leonor Cipriano - the main target, through the intersection of both cases.

'The Spanish Agency, Metodo 3 hired by the McCanns to allegedly find their mysteriously disappeared daughter, recruited the psychic lawyer Marcos Aragao Correia to incriminate Goncalo Amaral. SIC had access to documents which apparently prove that the Spanish agency has tried to undermine the credibility of the Portuguese investigation on the Madeleine McCann Case.'

A pretty reasonable cite.

[Alfie]

A pretty reasonable cite.

that's not my idea of a reasonable cite.  A reasonable cite would be a link to the documents that apparently prove the point that people have been striving so hard to make for the last god knows how many pages.

[misty]

It's quite laughable - if you were to report that the Sun reported its reporter had had access to documents which proved that (insert own McCann-backing phrase).....imagine the reaction.

[John]

A pretty reasonable cite.

The extract I posted is all that now remains online of an article and a video presentation by SIC Noticias exposing the truth behind Método 3 and their involvement in both the Joana and Maddie cases.  It isn't much of a cite on its own but it does reinforce the material already posted which proves once and for all that Amaral was indeed the target.  Destroy him and you destroy the investigation!

Also of interest is the fact that Correia never bothered in the end to submit evidence to the ECHR in relation to the torture of Leonor Cipriano. According to the European Court’s archiving decision, the judges waited for Leonor’s arguments until the end of October 2008. The case was thus abandoned just like poor Leonor.

I think it is as plain as the nose on your face that Correia was subject to a propaganda onslaught in the run up to the torture trial which resulted in Amaral ending up with his criminal conviction which ended his lawyer's career under the patronage of Leonor Cipriano's former lawyer, Grade, before it even started.

Grade was found to be in possession of drugs while on a prison visit to clients, which apparently isn't considered too serious in Portugal since nothing ever came of that.

As far as I can see the allegations against Correia emanate from two close associates of Amaral ~ Grade and Cristovao which in my opinion devalues them entirely.

[John]

And Correia boasted that he lied to João Cipriano while on a prison visit in order to extract information from him which could help his clent Leonor.  I think they are all as bad as each other, each in their own way thought they were above the law and now both of them are discredited.

Amarals main job had been as the Drug Inspector for the Algarve region.  (Dont ask me where I got that from but it was common knowledge way back ... maybe someone else can confirm that or provide a cite)

All the allegations against correia come from friends of amaral
Hardly independent
That's why I think there has been a campaign to discredit correia

It is fascinating to observe the continued denials.

No it is not!

When did I refer to you in that comment

Are you denying that that comment excluded any comment made by me?  I regret not trying to follow this thread from the beginning but it seems too long to go back to the beginning and start understanding it.  It appears to be unresolvable from what I've seen.

Well, if you don't know, then don't comment.
