They obviously didn't destroy the copies, as ordered. Or do you think someone else took a copy while The PJ weren't watching?
Let's look at the evidence. There were 189 pages from two exercise-books and one notepad. They were photocopied by Joao Carlos on 10th September 2007. They were described as 'two diaries' when received by the Court on 13th September. The Court ordered the photocopies to be translated and the translator returned them on 4th October. On 27th June 2008 the judge ruled that the diaries were personal and should be destroyed.
http://www.mccannpjfiles.co.uk/PJ/BIBLE.htmOn 13th September 2007 the Daily Mail claimed that Portuguese newspapers were printing extracts from the diary (s). It said;
Kate is alleged to have moaned about her missing daughter in her diary and the lack of help she gets from her husband with domestic chores and bringing up their three kids.
Portuguese tabloid Correio da Manha headlined its front page today: "Kate insults her children in her diary." It claimed on an inside page: "She complains frequently that her children are 'hysterical' and speaks of Madeleine as a child whose excess activity exhausts her.
"She tells also how Gerry doesn't help her with the family chores and that she has to cope alone with her two youngest children.".....Publico, a daily newspaper with a more serious reputation, also claimed Kate's worries about her children's behaviour and her difficulties disciplining them were contained in the diary.

Other details revealed by the Portuguese newspapers can be read here;
http://www.gerrymccannsblogs.co.uk/Nigel/id166.htm Extracts printed by the News of the World on 14th September 2008 consisted of 135 pages covering 28th April 2007 to 31st July 2007. They claimed to have received them from a Portuguese journalist;
"appalled by the sickening smear campaign against the McCann's."
The News of the World 'diary' contained little of the information printed by the Portuguese newspapers. That information probably wasn't invented, however, because some of it appears in 'madeleine'.
I conclude that Kate's diary and notes were given to Portuguese journalists by someone. The candidates being the PJ, Court officials or the translator. Amaral wasn't the culprit; he was long gone in July 2008. If a Portuguese journalist gave (or sold) the diary to the NotW he/she gave them incomplete information or they censored it before printing.
