Dr Totman: Apartment block stayed in and direction walked

[Eleanor]

He was a PJ Coordinator, the British equivalent of a DCI.  You don't get to such a rank without being a top cop.

This could depend on how many suspects you have to beat up.

[Angelo222]

I disagree....Ive seen nothing to show he was a top cop and lots to show he wasnt..sacked from the mccann case...found guilty of perjury....what evidence is there he was a top cop

Rather a lot actually.  Gonçalo de Sousa Amaral was born on 2 October 1959 in the village of Torredeita near Viseu. He studied engineering at IST and ISEL. In 1992/1997 he studied at night time, the Faculty of Law of Lisbon, having graduated in Law and Criminal Sciences. He joined the Public Administration in 1973 , aged 14. In November 1981 he began to study to be an officer of the Judicial Police, and took office in 1982 as an Agent. In 1997/1998 he attended the course of sub-inspectors of the PJ, being ranked first among 100 students. In 2000/2001 he completed the course for Coordinators of PJ. He served in Lisbon, the Algarve and the Azores. He pursued for many years, all sorts of violent and organized crime: theft, robbery, murder, drug trafficking. He had an unblemished career, widely recognized by colleagues and superiors, as well as judges and prosecutors, judicial officials and lawyers, with whom he had the pleasure of dealing.

He retired on July 1, 2008, after 27 years of police career in order to restore the fullness of his freedom of expression on the Madeline McCann case which he investigated and continues to contribute, as far as possible, to the discovery of material truth and realization of justice.

Top cop indeed!

As you are off topic I wont be dragged any further into your attempts to undermine such a good cop.

[Mr Gray]

in your opinion..a poor cop in mine.....no cite no credibility...shall I start a new thread so you can give a cite..
its an anonymous cite on a page advertising amarals book. Its a cite anyone can write or edit...one of goncs supporters no doubt

Especially if the suspect is innocent.

[Vertigo Swirl]

Seems like a decent lad.

I do love the quaint perception of modern policing; unimpeachable to a man / woman.
Some of the tactics deployed in inner cities particularly would make your eyes bleed just conceiving of it.

Do you have any cites to illustrate Gonc’s alleged decency, or is this just your perception based on what you believe is most likely to wind up McCann supporters?

This post really does show what angelo thinks is evidence just does not stack up.

If I’m not mistaken Angelo’s cite is from the blurb on Amaral’s Totally Truthful Bookie-wook.

To think OG dug up the countryside for this,hmmm.

SY and their unreliable cadaver dogs. That message came through loud and clear!

Kate took her beating very well, those bruises healed rather fast.

 Oh! yeah,  she wasn't threatened with a battering -just asked awkward,boring questions like.. what did you see when you first entered the children's room?
tsk what a bore it must have been for her,  poor dear.
