Did Gonçalo Amaral breach Portuguese secrecy laws?

[Carana]

Were they file photos or drawings of file photographs ? As far as I am aware there is not one original photograph.

The "drawings" are faithful to the photos. A Photoshop filter can do that.

 Amaral had seen those photographs hundreds, if not thousands of times. I'm sure they wouldn't have been that difficult or him to replicate.

If so, he must also be an accomplished artist, among his many talents.

Yep as shown here, Eleanor.

Did he log into the PJ systems, to acquire these photos and files, do you think?

Yes replicated them before the files were released.

Pull the other one! Best stop digging Faith.

No idea Anna, but he probably didn't have to, wink, wink!

Thank you, DCI. I get the picture, now.

Gosh we do seem to be getting in a lather over that "dodgy dude".
"The Book" as I recall was published knocking on seven years ago and had been doing the rounds for about a year before it was temporarily banned.
Had someone taken exception to the "dodgy dude" breaking secrecy laws with the book they sure are slow out of the blocks if they intend to do owt about it. Mind you it is Portugal I suppose

That is the eternal problem, Alice.  It is Portugal.

Not digging DCI because it matters not one jot how the drawings were produced, or indeed whether Amaral broke judicial secrecy laws because it's obvious he isn't going to be sanctioned for the breach no matter how appalled a group of Internet apologists are.

Of course it's just a deflection from the main event, the judge's ruling which, if the available signs are anything to go by, will undoubtedly be a Pyrrhic victory if it's any kind of victory at all.

We shall have to wait and see.

Oh God, did I really write that?

They're obsessed with the fellow. %£&)**#

It's just a book, Eleanor. One book. And that's how they see it in Portugal.

The Portuguese can't be blamed for how people responded to that book. Things could have been done much differently.

You are welcome Anna.

Just realised, he used the investigation files in the video too. Unless he drew the pictures of Murat and the efits.
Along with the dog video's.

No more obsessed than you and others with The McCanns.

No, not them personally. With the mystery.
