Hmmmm ... interesting that
“It is important not to forget that the decision on my appeal is pending.” seems to be foremost in Mr Amaral's mind despite the fact the 'news' wasn't about him.
It was about a person who for reasons best known to himself took it upon himself to broadcast to the world that Madeleine was in Paraguay.
But ...
“It is important not to forget that the decision on my appeal is pending.”Despite the fact he has invested such a lot of time and energy in propagating Madeleine McCann's death I think the 'calm and serene' thing to have done in the circumstances, nay the
human thing to have done would have been to deplore the occasion of further harm to Madeleine's parents rather than to rehearse more paranoia and conspiracy theories aimed against them.
But when self is foremost,
“It is important not to forget that the decision on my appeal is pending.” who has time to think of the pain which must have been inflicted on the parents of a missing child by the latest flurry.
Then again, when one has been instrumental in exacerbating that pain ...
“It is important not to forget that the decision on my appeal is pending.” the money would be foremost in his thoughts, would it not?

The decision of the Civil Court of Lisbon yet determined the ban on the sale and new editions of the book, released in 2008, and a video based on the work.
In it, Amaral, responsible for investigations at the time, defends the thesis that the girl died accidentally and her parents decided to hide her body.
A sentença do Tribunal Cível de Lisboa determinou ainda a proibição da venda e de novas edições do livro, lançado em 2008, e de um vídeo baseado na obra.
Nela, Amaral, responsável pelas investigações à época, defende a tese de que a menina morreu de forma acidental e seus pais decidiram esconder o corpo dela.
The ruling states that the former inspector had a professional obligation to keep to themselves their own conclusions about the investigations immediately after his retirement in 2008 without expressing controversial opinions "as if they were true."A decisão judicial afirma que o ex-inspetor tinha a obrigação profissional de guardar para si as próprias conclusões sobre as investigações imediatamente após sua aposentadoria, em 2008, sem expressar opiniões controversas "como se fossem verdade".

But who really cares if professional obligations were flouted as long as the money is OK ...
“It is important not to forget that the decision on my appeal is pending.”I sincerely hope the pending decision on that appeal is not to his liking, but it can't be too long now before we find out.
