Portuguese cop says the McCanns 'are still suspects'!

[kizzy]

Amaral is a total fool...I hope he carries on..
What he is saying is libellous but perhaps he's too thick to realise

What you should accept is the mccs have never been cleared.



The couple are suspects, were suspects and remain suspects. Nothing else happened to the contrary.'

[Brietta]

I think we all know who is looking foolish atm.

Certainly those upholders of all things Portuguese good, bad or indifferent are making themselves look rather curious in their refusal to apply rules of the Portuguese constitution where the McCanns are concerned.

[Vertigo Swirl]

The pathetic bunch imo are those who refuse to accept reality. The McCanns are not formal suspects but neither have they ever been cleared. They weren't cleared by the archiving dispatch or by any other legal procedure.

Does “not being cleared” = “suspect”?

Where is the evidence for the statement you have just quoted?

Which bit of the constitution do you think is applicable?

Anyone who thinks the mccanns are suspects is a fool.

In what investigation do you think they are suspects

[Wonderfulspam]

Yes.

Hi slarti, glad to see you're still alive. I was beginning to think you'd been abducted by Vogons.

It is really very simple. The Portuguese Supreme Court stated that the McCanns cannot be seen as having been cleared just because the case was archived. In other words, they could still be made suspects again should new evidence be found which undermines their version of events.

Basically, the door is still open to all scenarios.

Exactly.

It is a cold case now...... as it was a cold case then.

Nothing whatsoever to prove an abduction....still to this day all mccs have cared about it seems is reputation etc.

No, they are tirelessly searching for Maddie & they'll never give up hope, even though there's concrete evidence she was murdered by a paedo.

[Brietta]

Course you can, its nuances of the English language, if that can't be seen then the fool's are those that won't see it.

In September 2007, Gerry and Kate McCann were questioned by police as formal suspects. The following July, however, the Portuguese police dropped the investigation for lack of evidence and acquitted the McCann of any involvement.

Sometimes the nuances in translation from one language to another are almost infinitesimal.  Who would have thought that absolveu and acquitted mean much the same whether in Portuguese of English

Your mccann prejudice blinds you to the numerous references to innocence and non-involvement.  You really must raise your sights above and beyond the filth propagated by conspiracy theorists in the darker corners of the internet.

If she just took the blinkers off for a minute she'd be utterly overcome by all the concrete evidence Maddie was abducted.

Amaral has really shown himself up in all his recent publicised utterances and none more so than in his most recent; although I thought his lies concerning an active criminal investigation took some beating.

He obviously has no intention of retiring from the limelight which probably makes it well overdue for him to be treated with the forensic scrutiny he obviously deserves.

[Vertigo Swirl]

Yes.

That’s official is it?  So Murat is still a suspect.  Right you are then.
