Netflix launches new 8-part documentary about the disappearance of Madeleine McCann.

He did acknowledge the whole " praying Arabs" scenario was in his words "exaggerated", so perhaps that myth can be laid to rest.

Not according to the two GNR officers who witnessed it.   As Amaral wasn't there when it happened I know who's version is the more likely.

Can't resist.
Whose.
Wasn't it in his documentary??

[Angelo222]

Not ridiculous at all. Amaral was made an arguido on the day Madeleine disappeared. I fail to see how you put someone in prison before they are charged with anything.

I think some posters still don't understand what arguido meant back in 2007.  If every police officer who was an arguido was suspended there wouldn't have been many left on duty.

I prefer to go by the original statements by those who witnessed the event.

So the Amaral documentary was factually incorrect?

That's a rather damning statement !

Certainly not in Portugal it would seem... Amaral... Almeida... Christaveo... All convicted... It would depend on what they were arguidos for... I think we all understand what arguido means

I don't see any problem with it.. Two very distraught parents

Indeed!

[Mr Gray]

Impressed is an understatement.  He took the McCanns on at their own game and won.

I dont see he's won anything.. I think he's disgraced himself and portugal... Winning something because the referee is blatantly biased and incompetent is no victory

[Mr Gray]

Amaral's theories are merely that, theories.  But theories based on facts. He is entitled to his opinion about the disappearance just as we are.

They are not facts... The PJ didn't even read the FSS report properly... The fact that they are not facts, will be Portugal's downfall in the ECHR..... He's entitled to his opinion but not to libel people

[ShiningInLuz]

And her opinion ?

She thought after the first 4 episodes, the McCanns are guilty of much more than neglect.  By the end, she wasn't quite so certain.

Why is that?  are most Portuguese police officers suspects in a crime?  Do you have a cite?

The producers seem to have lost their nerve half way through.

Lost their nerve to do what?
