Court is with Jaguar de Gonçalo Amaral28.10.2009 às 22h35
The Lisbon Civil Court, which this week ordered the arrest of the copyright of Gonçalo Amaral's book on the disappearance of Madeleine McCann, as well as the documentary that followed, considers that the sole proprietorship created by the former coordinator of the PJ may allow Receive and make disappear the proceeds that are personally intended for the sale of books and videos.
Therefore, following the McCann family's claim for compensation, he decided through a precautionary procedure to arrest Amaral's share in the company, one-third of his salary as a manager and even the Jaguar that the former police officer leads - but that belongs to To the firm.
The car, with a displacement of 2700cc and a price of around 70,000 euros, was bought in May and registered on behalf of the company Gonçalo Amaral Unipessoal Lda., With a share capital of 5000 euros. The company, established in November last year, offers consultancy, studies and analysis in the area of criminal investigation and specializes in the dissemination, promotion and communication of technical works.
Notices to publishers who published the book "Maddie - The Truth of Lies" followed earlier in the week to several countries in Europe: Italy, Holland, Denmark, Germany, Spain and France. The publisher Guerra & Paz, (which published the book in Portugal), Presslivre (owner of "Correio da Manhã" where Amaral has a weekly chronicle), Valentim de Carvalho and TVI were also notified of the arrest of the copyright Are due to the former PJ coordinator until a final decision is reached in the ongoing process.
Contacted by Expresso, Gonçalo Amaral declined to comment on the decision of the Civil Court, referring his position to a press release issued on Wednesday. In that document, the man who investigated the disappearance of Madeleine McCann fears "being unable to defend his reasons in court" and admits to face "constraints on his own defense."
Kate and Gerry McCann, who were indicted in the course of the investigation, and the three youngest children, Sean and Amelie and Madeleine, are the plaintiffs in the ongoing civil court case. They demand the former PJ inspector compensation of € 1.2 million for defamation, due to "continuous and gross" statements about the investigation of the 2007 case.
However, according to the assessment made by the court, the estate of Gonçalo Amaral does not provide sufficient guarantees for payment in case of conviction. Olhão's house - which she bought with her wife in 2002 with a loan from the BIC but is registered only in her name - was arrested in 2005 due to a debt of around 130 thousand euros.
A year later, the National Treasury registered an attachment on the house as guarantee of payment of 16900 euros. Finally, two years ago, it was BES (to which BIC belongs now) to file an executive action against the couple to collect more than 300,000 euros - a new attachment. The book "Maddie - The truth of the Lie" was released in July 2008 and in the following two months, until the end of September, it had 12 editions, or 120,000 copies. However, in September, also by court decision, its sale had already been banned.
Gonçalo Amaral retired from the Judicial Police in June last year, after 26 years of service. At the time, he said he was leaving to have "full freedom of expression" after being removed months earlier from the investigation into the disappearance of the English child due to statements made to the media.
Currently, Amaral receives a pension for early retirement of 2039 euros. The investigation into the case was closed in June 2008, without any liability being cleared from the parents of the three-year-old English girl who disappeared on 3 May 2007 in Praia da Luz.

Text published in the edition of the Express of October 24, 2009
http://expresso.sapo.pt/arquivo/tribunal-fica-com-jaguar-de-goncalo-amaral=f544234The financial mess Amaral was in long predated Madeleine McCann's disappearance in 2007 ~ I can post up the court transcript if you would like for the case taken out against him.
The pension money was not sequestered for the McCann trial ... it was owed to the Portuguese State because of non payment of taxes.
In other words the myth that the McCanns are responsible for Amaral's financial predicament are absolutely wrong and misguided ... the person responsible is the man himself.
Unfortunately as easy as it is for some to think the worst of the McCanns it seems there is a blockage of denial for any critical truth providing evidence of an Amaral who they cannot perceive of as less than perfect.
