I wonder how long it will take for the financial information provided to Isabel Duarte/McCanns by Amaral to enter the public domain via a few 'willing friends' ?

I'll give it a month before certain supporter forums are chewing over the private details like cows chewing the cud !

Let’s count the months, shall we?

Not Amaral's financial details it's not. They have no reason to.

I suspect the judge is interested in the full picture.  Amarals earnings from the book and documentary may be only part of his earnings from this case - there are also TV shows, newspaper articles etc for which he may have been paid. 

Wasn't he demanding eighty thousand euros for an interview, back in the days when he was cock of the walk. 

All in all, the granting of this request does not bode well for Amaral.

If you were wondering why there was no interview with former Algarve police chief Goncalo Amaral in our recent Madeleine coverage, here's why.
 
His agent emailed us: "Since he left Policia Judiciaria his main concern is to reveal to the general public the facts (which) occured during the investigation."
 
Then he wrote: "He will be available, but will charge a fee of 80.000 euros VAT."
 
Yeah, we wondered if he meant 80 euros, too.
 
We didn't wonder for long.
 
Nem pensar, Jose!

The other side of that particular coin is "I would rather not be interviewed but if you insist I will charge 80k in euros"
Can you state categorically which option is correct rather than rumour? It would be interesting.

Perhaps he is just aware how the UK press twist the truth.

This of course is true but does not really address the question does it?
Can any one state categorically that Sr Amaral receives 80k in euros per interview?
If not then the comments to that effect are are worthless so why make them?

Are you disputing that he asked for 80k per interview?

Because it plants the idea that he claimed that amount, which can then be elaborated on until it is represented as fact.
I believe everything. And l believe nothing.
I suspect everyone. And l suspect no one.
I gather the facts, examine the clues... and before   you know it, the case is solved!"

If you had read my first post properly you would have understood that I offered an alternative motive for Sr Amaral asking for 80k in euros.

I asked if anyone had proof Sr Amaral was paid 80k in euros ? Do they? you included.

He could just have declined the request...

... Speaking exclusively to mccannfiles.com ... Gonçalo Amaral revealed the reasoning behind the decision...
"I want you to know that I made the decision to get paid for any interview given to any British media, but that doesn't apply to anywhere else in the world.  Its quite simple. I have given so many "free" interviews to the British media that were never published. They were censored and thrown to the trash. Next time they do it, I'm sure they will think twice about the money they pay." ...
