Former Maddie cop blasts “strategic campaign” underway to pressure Portuguese judiciary

Following a new rush of Madeleine stories in the world’s press, former PJ detective Gonçalo Amaral has come out with all guns blazing.

Awaiting the decision of his appeal against the €500,000-plus damages awarded to Madeleine’s parents as a result of their long running civil suit against him, Amaral says it is “intolerable and reprehensible” to see what is quite clearly a “strategic campaign mounted with the view to pressurise a superior Portuguese court”.

“To produce, at this moment, sightings and interviews giving the false idea that a child that mysteriously disappeared around nine years ago has been found alive, is part of a campaign of pressure on a Portuguese institution of law” - in this case, the Court of Appeal, in Lisbon, he added.

To those who “feed the false idea” that Madeleine could appear at any moment alive, “just because there are cases where children have been recovered after several years”, Amaral stresses: “These children were all over nine years old when they disappeared.”

He goes on to refer people to his book “Vidas Sem Defesa” which “may teach (them) something about child disappearances”.


The strongly-worded statement followed a flurry of spurious news stories about a so-called Private Investigator having “found” Madeleine in the South American country of Paraguay.

The story is understood to have led to a “huge search” involving “four police stations, an anti-kidnapping division, intelligence personnel and Interpol”.

It was widely covered by the British press which went on to describe the “heartache” that it has since caused (as it was spurious) and how Madeleine “could have been put in danger”, as the Private Eye should not have announced the (spurious) sighting without first contacting the relevant authorities.

As Amaral explains: “It is important not to forget that the decision on my appeal is pending.”

It is a decision that he “awaits with the calm and serenity possible” when faced with regular Maddie stories, repeated ad infinitum in the world’s press.

One of the most recent involved the interpretation of a statement - by Madeleine’s mother Kate that her daughter was “not a million miles from Praia da Luz” - which was taken to suggest Madeleine was in fact still very much in Praia da Luz.

The British tot went missing from a tourist apartment in the holiday resort in May 2007, and despite a Metropolitan Police investigation that has cost €12 million, every single line of inquiry appears to have led nowhere.

Gonçalo Amaral was in charge of the original investigation and is the author of the book “A Verdade da Mentira” - the Truth of the Lie - which formed the basis of the McCann parents’ civil action against him.

There does appear to be a fair  correlation between

Namely maintaining the hype to divert attention, as personified by the Paraguay stupidity.

Or perhaps this is still to come?

It really is all "ME" "ME" "ME" as far as this man is concerned.  He needn't worry too much about his reputation being trashed by Madeleine being found alive, he did that all by himself, the reopening of Madeleine's case in Portugal putting the final seal on his obdurate incompetence.

Portuguese judges are a bunch of sad saps if they allow reports of sightings of Madeleine to influence their judgement on the facts of the libel trial.

Hmmmm ... interesting that “It is important not to forget that the decision on my appeal is pending.” seems to be foremost in Mr Amaral's mind despite the fact the 'news' wasn't about him.

It was about a person who for reasons best known to himself took it upon himself to broadcast to the world that Madeleine was in Paraguay.
But ... “It is important not to forget that the decision on my appeal is pending.”

Despite the fact he has invested such a lot of time and energy in propagating Madeleine McCann's death I think the 'calm and serene' thing to have done in the circumstances, nay the human thing to have done would have been to deplore the occasion of further harm to Madeleine's parents rather than to rehearse more paranoia and conspiracy theories aimed against them.

But when self is foremost, “It is important not to forget that the decision on my appeal is pending.” who has time to think of the pain which must have been inflicted on the parents of a missing child by the latest flurry.

Then again, when one has been instrumental in exacerbating that pain ... “It is important not to forget that the decision on my appeal is pending.” the money would be foremost in his thoughts, would it not?



**Snip
The decision of the Civil Court of Lisbon yet determined the ban on the sale and new editions of the book, released in 2008, and a video based on the work.
In it, Amaral, responsible for investigations at the time, defends the thesis that the girl died accidentally and her parents decided to hide her body.

A sentença do Tribunal Cível de Lisboa determinou ainda a proibição da venda e de novas edições do livro, lançado em 2008, e de um vídeo baseado na obra.
Nela, Amaral, responsável pelas investigações à época, defende a tese de que a menina morreu de forma acidental e seus pais decidiram esconder o corpo dela.


The ruling states that the former inspector had a professional obligation to keep to themselves their own conclusions about the investigations immediately after his retirement in 2008 without expressing controversial opinions "as if they were true."

A decisão judicial afirma que o ex-inspetor tinha a obrigação profissional de guardar para si as próprias conclusões sobre as investigações imediatamente após sua aposentadoria, em 2008, sem expressar opiniões controversas "como se fossem verdade".
http://www.dw.com/pt/policial-português-terá-que-indenizar-pais-de-madeleine/a-18415893


But who really cares if professional obligations were flouted as long as the money is OK ... “It is important not to forget that the decision on my appeal is pending.”

I sincerely hope the pending decision on that appeal is not to his liking, but it can't be too long now before we find out.

Thank You.


Now, does anyone think that Amaral believes it is possible for The Appeal Court to be influenced by this?

Well if he does, then he has a very low opinion of the Judges in the Appeal Court.   And if he doesn't - that means he's  just going for the sympathy vote.     I  wonder where Katie Hopkins' newspaper article fits in with his theory that he is being plotted against via the newspapers.

AIMHO

Amaral is obviously not very confident re his appeal and is letting his anger show...roll on his final humiliation

It's all due to a lack of understanding of hydraulics and gas transfer at the design stage

Wasn't it Woody Allen who said something along the same lines in less scientific terms?

The files contain about 2800 pages of international sightings and every one of those many thousands of sightings is more credible than this recent supposed Paraguay sighting.
It is remarkable how the UK MSM give this ludicrous Paraguay sighting such intensive coverage. Did each paper genuinely chose to cover this story on its merits? I doubt it very much! Which person has the expertise to to get a rubbish diversionary story published throughout the UK media?

They chose to cover it because it sells papers, that is the ONLY reason.

One has to wonder why Mr Amaral has got so hot under the collar about the latest 'ridiculous' sighting ... which as far as I can see was not a sighting as we know it ... more a 'following' and then asking for information by advertising in the press.

If anyone sees the hand of 'Machiavelli' himself in this I am afraid all they do is display the fact that they are delusional.

It just seems like an opportunity for Natasha Donn to make a few Euros by asking him for his opinion, and for him to remind his fans about his still-pending appeal.

She'd be between a rock and a hard place if she'd chosen to interview him over Richard Hall's latest epic, so that may not have been on the cards.

In the early days there were reported sightings in Argentina, Brazil, Guatemala, Mexico, and Venezuela.
Maybe to avoid suspicion someone is constantly moving around the south and central americas and has now after 8 years risked briefly visiting Paraguay, little suspecting that an armchair detective from London would fly in and catch them with a reward poster.
