Seems he may have appointed himself, Sadie, unless we have yet another poor translation on our hands.

Interestingly among his literary efforts is an authoritative work 'about the dark and corrupt side of the PJ.'


**snip
Moreover, was acquitted of torture charges against Leonor Cipriano, Joana's mother (a child who disappeared in the Algarve), became media commenting on cases of police on television, created the Portuguese Association of Missing Children with friend and lawyer Pragal Colaco, whom he incompatibilizou, and became, according to his profile on Linkedin network administrator in a company based in Luxembourg that provides consultancy in the area of ​​football. He wrote five books, three of them on missing children: Joanna, Maddie and Rui Pedro (missing in Lousada). In the remaining works, one is on the profile cases of national football and the other a novel about the dark and corrupt side of the PJ. catarina.guerreiro@sol.pt

And of course
Paulo Pereira Cristovao was made President of the new Portuguese Association for Missing Children

and he refused to list Madeleine originally as missing ... saying her parents were involved



FGS ... Just WHO appointed such a man to be President of such an organisation?

Cristavao was in the perfect position to watch what developments were taking place in the hunts for the missing children ... and as an "Authority" by dint of his position as head of the Missing Children Organisation his word would carry clout.



Was he appointed with that in mind?

Just WHO appointed him?



Oh YES, he is of interest in the Madeleine case ... even if to only point out that he refused her name to be included in the Missing Children list, intimating that her parents were involved.

And, imo, potentially the people who appointed him could be of interest


At the time Madeleine vanished, there was talk that Cristovao was a reporter / feature writer on the newspaper Diário de Notícias. 

This paper put out much of the disinformation and propaganda about The Mccanns IIRC ... and there was speculation that Amarals lot were passing the disinformation on to Cristovao.  And that he was facilitating it.


I have no way of knowing if this is correct, but there was considerable talk about it at the time.

As shown by many pictires of them together, it seems likely IMO

Paulo Pereira Cristóvão: De segurança da PJ a dirigente do Sporting

* Paul's Profile Christopher Pereira published in the SUN of April 20, 2012

*snip*
In the Judicial Police (PJ), Paulo Pereira Cristovao was known as the 'opener gates'. Tall and burly, joined the police in 1990 as security. He was 21 years. Its function was to be the door, lift the gate and forward the prisoners. Years later, an internal competition took him up the inspector, but who lived with him says that physical strength has always been its most striking feature. "It is a great guy, hitting that is sick ', describes with a former colleague of PJ.

The case of Joan, which was accused - and acquitted - the mother of the child to the crime of torture, made him a famous man in 2007. In the midst of the scandal caused by the suspicion that he and his colleagues have succeeded confession to blow, Christopher Pereira asked the dismissal of the PJ. Back, was a resume with various situations unclear and open disciplinary proceedings after a young girl, the victim of a case as investigating inspector, to accuse him of sexual coercion. The complaint was withdrawn and the archived process.

The TV and the cause of children

Publicly, the former inspector begins to make an impression in TVI morning programs, right out of the Police. "I invited him to comment on the cases of Justice You on TV because he was a former PJ and could speak freely," recalls the journalist Hernâni Carvalho, who returned to cross with Christopher over a year later in the studios of SIC. Hernani ensures that were not friends. "I have nothing good or bad to say about him."

The presence on television and media exposure gain to review the case of Maddie McCann give you access to the literary world. Also in 2007, writes Joan's Star on the case of the Algarve girl. A year later, edits The Star of Madeleine and a novel about "the life of most corrupt police inspector." Some Ugly, Other Pigs, All Maus is to date the only foray into fiction. But in 2010 gives the print took me a book on the case of Rui Pedro.

The disappearance of minors becomes public because it defends. Together with the lawyer António Pragal Colaco, creates the Portuguese Association of Missing Children, which is now recognized as IPSS (Private Institution of Social Solidarity). Paulo Pereira Cristovao became president of the association, it belongs to the mother of Rui Pedro, but is no longer part of the organization chart. And Pragal Colaco refuses to talk about who says no longer be your friend. "I do not want to pry it" merely respond, without explaining reasons that led him to break for seven months the relationship between the two.

By the inverse reason, the current president of the Trade Union Association of Criminal Investigation Workers (ASFIC), Carlos Garcia, also refuses to speak: "I am his friend. I will not say anything. " Gonçalo Amaral - who was to be sentenced for false statements in the case in which it shared with Pereira Cristovao the dock because of Joana case - does not stretch in comments: "I had little contact with him. But I have good personal and professional printing. "

Those who knew him at the time ran the country in book signings, traces his portrait as someone who "has a lot of throat, a true braggers, committing many inconfidências to show that knows everything about everyone."

About a year ago, the lawyer of the parents of Maddie made a complaint against Pereira Cristovao for unlawful prosecution, the Bar, because of a former police company. "I report whenever there is a company that provides legal advice service - something only lawyers can do," says Isabel Duarte.

The pointers at the moment apparently indicate that Ex-PJ detective Paulo Pereira Cristóvão is considered to be a very dangerous man indeed who will be held in prison for the duration of the trials for the serious offences with which the Portuguese authorities have charged him.

This may be for quite a long period as the present trial concerns only his alleged sporting offences.

If I were you I would think twice about associating myself with him ... everybody else who is anybody has ... in fact I think you would probably be hard pushed to find anyone in Portugal who knew him in anything other than a 'professional' and working capacity ... but even that it seems may have as many hazards as being a personal friend.

"All I'm going to say is that we've conducted a very serious investigation and there's no indication that Madeleine McCann's parents are connected to her disappearance. On the other hand, we have a lot of evidence pointing out that Christian killed her," Wolter told the "Friday at 9"....

Why are you so desperate for him to have a personal involvement in Madeline's disappearance ?

Pure desperation perhaps ?

Let's get one thing entirely clear, Stephen, I have never accused Paulo Pereira Cristóvão of a personal involvement in Madeleine McCann's disappearance.

I have accused him of being instrumental in throwing dirt at her parents in the aftermath.

He has not yet been judged on the many charges laid against him ... so if there is any desperation going the rounds anywhere it is probably more prevalent among his associates in Portugal than anywhere else.

In future do not put words into my mouth.

We have a chain from a smelly bin man up to "Christopher" [as Google translate would have him] or down depending upon ones perception of the hierarchy I suppose. Was he a person of interest interviewed on behalf of The Yard one wonders?. He is clearly a heavy dude but .............................? and still no arrests on the MM front.
As far as the McCann case is concerned "Christopher" seems to be a side show for the amusement of a few posters on here.

The number and nature of the crimes he is accused of make Paulo Pereira Cristóvão more than a side show.

Indeed were he an associate of the McCann family one wonders if there would be the same disinterest shown in the current allegations for which he will stand trial?

Actually ~ no ~ one doesn't wonder at all ~ one knows precisely what would be going on in the murkier depths of the internet and twitter.

Throwing dirt.

He was doing his job.

One has to ask, why are so insistent on attacking him ?

It seems this is very personal to you.

No, Stephen, I do not try to turn everything into a personal slanging match if I cannot defend my position, unlike some.

Neither do I need to attack Paulo Pereira Cristóvão ... the Portuguese State appears to have that all well in hand.

May I remind you the dirt he was throwing consisted of scandalous lies ... but as you say, "He was doing his job" ... and it seems he was doing it as dishonourably as he was when he was dismissed from the PJ in dubious circumstances.

What scandalous lies, bearing in mind the nature of  Madeleine's disappearance from the apartment has yet to be determined ?
