The court gave this Wednesday, day 21, as proved that the book of former Inspector of Judicial Police (PJ) Gonçalo Amaral, entitled "Maddie: The Truth of the Lie", caused damage to the parents of Madeleine McCann, missing British child in 2007, in the Algarve.
In order, the magistrate also considered that the book reproduces excerpts appearing on the process in which Kate and Gerry McCann were made defendants, in September 2007, filed in July of the following year, even though the British couple has been charged.
These elements were given as proven at trial, which began in October 2013, and will be considered for the preparation of the decision that will be communicated to the parties soon, but that has no due date.
"Damages were proven directly originated by the book," said the agency "Lusa" source close to the process, confirming that Judge Melo and Emilia Castro found as a fact that the work "has from the process information", which is a violation of the secrecy of justice.Because according to the defense of the parents of the missing child to May 3, 2007, the book was given as ready three days after the prosecutor of the Republic of Portimão, Magalhães Menezes, had written the order of termination of proceedings against the McCanns dated notification of July 29, 2008.
In preparing the book, in which the former coordinator of the Criminal Investigation Department of the PJ in Portimão defended the thesis that Madeleine's parents were involved in the disappearance and concealment of the corpse of the child, the lawyer of the British family, Isabel Duarte, maintained that Gonçalo Amaral used unauthorized and prohibited pleadings.
The same source also pointed out that the judgment of this process sessions at the Palace of Justice in Lisbon, allowed the judge to conclude that the information contained in the book are presented "some truncated, incomplete or other missing him."
This process creeps in court for over five years, with successive postponements of trial sessions and an attempted extrajudicial settlement between the parties, which was never realized.
In 2010, in the judgment of the book sales ban and the video with the same title, produced after documentary broadcast on TVI, the court decided to keep out of the market the two products that had been injunction target of temporary withdrawal.
In October 2010, the Lisbon Court of Relationship annulled the sale prohibition sentence of the book and the video and the British couple appealed to the Supreme Court, which rejected examine the use, in March 2011.
