Gonçalo Amaral said the Maddie-case has 'ruined' him

[Mr Gray]

it gives me great pleasure to see amaral getting his just desserts. He wrote the book to defend his honour...he says...so he can have no problem with the McCanns suing him to defend their honour.

He doesn't sound very confident. he should not have written the book ..IMO... instead of whinging he needs to get into court...stop delaying things and let the court decide..everything that has happened to him is his own fault

Parents defending their honour ???

What honour is there in leaving three children undefended whilst enjoying nights out wining and dining, with their offspring in an unlocked residence ?

No, he doesn't sound very confident, does he. The writing is on the wall for him.

No, just some better birth control.

Anyway, back on topic - if he is talking as though his assets are not only frozen but that he's unlikely to be getting them back, do we take that as resignation of his trial defeat?

Did I read somewhere that Amaral and Sofia bought a small Hotel in Spain prior to the seizing of his assets by The Portuguese Court?

I'm pretty sure that I did.

I don't know. I was under the impression that there was quite a queue of people who are owed money by Amaral.

I have no problem with him writing a book.
But what he, as a professional, should have given in that book is the facts about the case..not one sided thesis.
And the profits from his book should have gone to a good cause.. i.e. not used for his personal gains.
The personal gain out of a missing child he was supposed to FIND and failed to FIND .. just shows the type of a character he is..
Not a good Samaritan, is he?

If it's out of Portugal then they haven't got a hope in hell's chance.  This could be a good reason for doing it.

Yes, good point.

Yet you don't criticize the Mccanns who have made money from a book and serialization rights in the 'Sun' of the book.

WHY NOT ?

They are responsible for what happened, after all.
