Madeleine McCann police chief was found guilty of falsifying evidence.

It's in the Thread Title.  And was Amaral a suitable person to be Coordinating The McCann Case?

No; neither fit to be a coordinator.

and was km fit to be a spokeswoman for missing persons, when she and her husband were responsible for leaving their children without protection and vulnerable ???

the Portuguese hierarchy werent stupid.   they knew what was behind the allegations made by Correia who was paying him and their connection to the McCann machine.  the whole thing leaves a very bad smell behind.

Was that why Dr Amaral lost his libel action in a Portuguese court against Correia?  Did he have to pay damages as well as court costs?

As you know, libel is extremely difficult to prove in Portugal.

Not in the slightest.

It is the findings of the judge that you fear.

the case  is nothing to do with me...I'm a spectator....I don't fear the judge...verdict or whatever...whatever happens will not affect me in the slightest

I think most who have followed events carefully will be aware that Amaral was not, directly, implicated in torture, unlike his friend Tavares Almeidas, who was given a suspended sentence for the torture of bastindado (but not from the Madeleine investigation).

And we are supposed to believe Mrs McCann would be safe in his hands while answering her questions designed to implicate her in a crime she hasn't committed?

Don't worry. about it.  It was never going to happen.  The British Embassy were only too aware of Justice Portuguese Style.  They had seen it all before.  Much shame to them in the past.  But  it wasn't going to happen on this occasion.
Justice was going to be seen to be done. What ever Amaral tried to do. 

But Amaral just didn't see proper justice coming., beyond his own convoluted idea.  He seriously needed The McCanns to be guilty because it would have bailed him out on The Cipriano Affair.

Why this continued focus on Amaral, a coordinator for the case before he was removed after complaining of interference in the case.

He wasn't the only person in the PJ who thought Madeleine died in the apartment, and still isn't.

Sorry, Stephen,  I Posted a reply and then lost it.  And I cannot be bothered again.  But I do think that you are basically a nice man. 
Deny me if you wish because I no longer much care what any of you think.

I do a job of sorts, and somehow hope that you will all understand.

I like this Forum which gives you all the right to express your opinions.  But it also gives me the right of censure when some of you go too far.

Sit well with me, and don't offend me.  And then we will all get on.  And you all know by now of how I can be offended.

'Sit well with me, and don't offend me'


People express their views on here Eleanor, which as we know often don't tally.

However, it is not the express reserve of anyone including you to dictate what others may say,  as long as people don't breach forum rules.

Chicken and egg situation.

As lead detective in Madeleine's case ... it was assumed he knew what he was talking about.  Turns out that he didn't.

Until very recently there were those who really believed that he had 'an Ace up his sleeve' which would be delivered at a time of his choosing with devastating effect.
For a number of reasons, not least of which would be the offence of withholding evidence,  I think people who gave that posturing any credence at all must be exceedingly gullible and will believe anything at all.
