"I suspect that my books were destroyed"


A new source of conflict between the former PJ inspector and the McCann couple goes around the back of the book written by Amaral. The courts overturned the injunction hanging over the work, and now the former inspector calls 7500 copies of "Maddie - The Truth of the Lie", whose trustee is the legal representative of McCann in Portugal.


"Crime" - The Court of Appeal ruled that the books (Maddie - The Truth of the Lie) which had been seized, will be delivered. Have them already in their possession?


Gonçalo Amaral - the Lisbon Court of Appeal ruled that my book and my opinions did not violate privacy rights of the couple McCann, parents of missing child, so that the injunction was peremptorily denied.


The decision has become final?


The decision of the Court of Appeal did not accept action. Even so, the distinguished lawyer of the couple managed to delay the final judgment, which occurred in November 2011 following a decision contrary to the McCann issued by the Supreme Court of Lisbon. It has been selling "pig in a poke" and I am beginning to doubt that the McCanns are aware of the decisions of the Portuguese courts. You may continue to pay without knowing the outcome.


Why it was not returned?


I doubt that the books exist. Indeed, it is good to remember that the lawyer of the McCanns have always said that these books would never be offered for sale. Where did this come ... sure do not know. Just know that this lawyer and his clients do not comply with decisions of courts of Portugal, which can be demonstrative of his character, or at least their way of being in the Portuguese legal system.Let me remind you that, to suspect that such books have been destroyed, denounced the situation to the prosecutor, happening right now in DIAP Lisbon criminal proceedings for embezzlement or destruction of objects placed under the government (Article 355 C of the Penal Code), abstract punishable by a prison term up to five years, which are suspected the McCanns and their illustrious lawyer.


How many copies are we talking about?


They will be concerned about 7500 copies.


When you are given will replace them in the supply chain?


Those books, or a new reissue, should already be in the market. The publisher "War and Peace" will know this subject.
What stage is the civil case against the McCanns have you?
We are in pre-trial hearing. Right now, my new attorney has"Tweaked" a process that was stopped and this has caused panic in the opposing party.
One of the strongest arguments for the prosecution is claiming that Gonçalo Amaral enriched with the rights to the book. What a commentary it deserves?
If someone wants to talk about "enrichment", first think about the parents of missing child in their family, in his "staff" and support in his illustrious lawyer.In the latter case that it was important to say how much you've earned and the prospects of earnings that still feeds, not to mention other lawyers, detective agencies and communication.


Do you have any expectation for this process?


The only expectation is that we will win the action, because there are no facts or matters of action. The action of the McCanns is inept. And all this causes great despair in his illustrious lawyer, who feels the need to move forward with a campaign of disinformation and defamation against me. You should not forget what has been said, because by that will respond in court.
As you know, Prime Minister David Cameron has ordered re-evaluate the research in England about the disappearance of Maddie. How do you assess that decision, admitting that the British hardly have access to research in Portugal?
The decision of the Prime Minister has been misrepresented. The McCanns have spoken of a reassessment of the "sightings" of the child. But what is known is that Scotland Yard, appointed to review all research, has put aside the pseudo-sightings focusing on the process that is filed. The elements of the Scotland Yard have been working with a research team from Porto (Porto because the Algarve and Lisbon had been involved), and what is known is that the "thing" is not going very well for the side of McCann .


The Maddie case, one can say (not secret) has committed his career in PJ. What hurts you feel about that?


Not so! The case "Maddie" happened at a stage in my life when I was already tired of saying "yes." Only and only that.


It was naive?


Nothing like that. I left the Judicial Police on my initiative and head up, I worked there for almost thirty years and had a successful career and unpolluted. The detractors who try to denigrate such a career, because then we talk soon.

So far the track taken by private investigators looking for the child, even those that have become more media, have proved useful and, perhaps, have thrown up more confusion about the case. What is your opinion?

The private detectives, in general, were concerned to make up stories about the Portuguese investigators in charge of the case, or creating false sightings. The McCanns should have the courage to disclose all reports generated by such private detectives and then we would understand how that has served the fund created to find the child .. It would be very interesting.In fact, let me remind you of the action detective agency "Method 3". These gentlemen have created several sightings. At some point, Christmas 2007, came to say that the missing child would be home that same Christmas. At that time tried to turn the investigation into the disappearance of Madeleine. They came to "contact" a lawyer / medium to make that connection. This character was the first person who publicly coverage mediatic said that Madeleine was dead, and carried out searches in the Algarve dams. And today is bewildering, or maybe not, who is a distinguished lawyer of the McCanns to defend it in the process against him for defamation intentei qualified and whose crime is being prosecuted in the Court of Faro. Now let us stop a little. recall that the McCanns say that when I expressed my opinion in the sense that the child be dead, was, according to them, undermining the search to find it.Now I ask you to you and every citizen: the reason for the lawyer of the McCanns be defending a person who manifests and has publicly expressed the idea that Madeleine is dead? What is the reason for the "Method 3" have contacted the lawyer / medium? Surely not to find the child alive.


Still believes that someday we will know what happened, that beyond any doubt?


Someone must find a solution politically correct and diplomatic. END

"The action of the McCanns is inept"



It is habit forming.

The elements of the Scotland Yard have been working with a research team from Porto (Porto because the Algarve and Lisbon had been involved), and what is known is that the "thing" is not going very well for the side of McCann .

Thanks for this Karen
This is sounding very positive.

I hope so.

Woweeee!!!

I like the sound of that too,and this bit..............

to suspect that such books have been destroyed, denounced the situation to the prosecutor, happening right now in DIAP Lisbon criminal proceedings for embezzlement or destruction of objects placed under the government (Article 355 C of the Penal Code), abstract punishable by a prison term up to five years, which are suspected the McCanns and their illustrious lawyer.

Is this bit true though ? "I left the Judicial Police on my initiative and head up, I worked there for almost thirty years and had a successful career and unpolluted."

That would slightly go against our understanding here that he was removed ! Maybe he is just being a bit coy or maybe upbeat which would be understandable.

Removed? From the Madeleine investigation, but he took early retirement.

Hi AnnaEsse

Dr Amaral was removed from the Madeleine investigation, some think Gordon Brown was behind his removal. He then took early retirement, so he could write his book, apparantly he couldn't write the book, while he was still in the police.

GA wasn`t sacked - he was just taken off that particular investigation and relocated. He obviously smelt a rat and thought `now`s the time to leave`. As he said, he`d had enough of saying `yes`.

From the introduction to "The Truth of the Lie."

"Certainly, this book responds to the need I felt to defend myself, having been discredited by the institution for which I worked for more than twenty-six years, without being given any chance to explain myself, publicly or within the institution itself. I made the request several times, but it was never heard. I, therefore, scrupulously respected the rules of the judiciary police and I refrained from making any comment. But this goes without saying: I experienced that silence to which I was constrained as an attack on my dignity. Later, I was removed from the investigation. It was then that I understood that it was time to speak. To do that, I requested early retirement in order to be able to express myself freely."

I returned home today, after spending a few days in London. On Saturday night, I went on an organised "Jack the Ripper" walking tour, which was very interesting, but very sad. The tour guide was summing up the case at the end of the walk and he spoke about a "Masonic" quote that had apparantly been written in blood by the "Ripper" there was also a piece of blood stained apron that was found at the scene. The then Chief Constable, arrived at the scene and ordered someone to whitewash the blood stained wall and the piece of blood stained apron was quietly disposed of.

The person who murdered the prostitutes, performed a kind of autopsy on the women, by removing parts of their bodies, including their kidneys, liver heart and intestines. The only person who could have done this was either a surgeon or a pathologist and the person who was thought to have done the murders and mutilations, was none other than the surgeon to the Royal family. The only reason he was supposedly involved, was because Queen Victoria's grandson, Prince Albert Victor, was having an affair.

Its a long story and at the end of the day, it might not be true. The only reason I am talking about it on here, is because I immediately thought of Gerry McCann who is a surgeon. I know it's a gruesome thought, but he and at least one of his mates, would be capable of making sure Madeleine was never found, should she have died in their apartment. Everything that needed to be done, could have been done, in one of their friends apartment during the day when the twins were at the creche. When everything was done and dusted, the McCanns and their friends could have hatched a plan to say Madeleine was abducted.

I have always wondered if Gerry is a Mason and that was why he and his wife, were so protected from the word go. The Portuguese Catholic Priest, must have been told something pretty horrific by the McCanns, because he said he would take what they told him to his grave. I also read that he was pretty screwed up in the head, because of what the McCanns told him and the fact he had to keep it a secret.

I will always believe the McCanns are more involved with Madeleine's disappearance than neglect. I'm not saying the McCanns murdered Madeleine, she could have had an accident and died. Then again if Madeleine died accidently, why would the McCanns want to get rid of her body?

But Gerald McCann is a Cardiologist. Not sure how much actual Surgical content there is for a person of his skills, but a lot of it is screening, diagnosis and monitoring.

Did Amaral' s 14 month suspended Prison sentence in the Cipriano case come after he resigned or before?I'm just wondering if that was the reason he
resigned. Apparently the Court has since upheld their ruling.

I know Gerry McCanns is a Cardiologist and wouldn't perform surgery in that post, but I did one read that he was also a surgeon. However unlikely or daft my theory may sound, it is possible for Gerry to dispose of Madeleine's body in a way she would never be found.

Yes woweee indeed!!!!

and the bit that precedes that is equally encouraging:

I take it that Scotland Yard are now reading what we have read and are coming to the very same conclusions. It's obvious.
I have always said that one read of the Rogatory statements and it would become clear who is lying.

Morning kathybelle, I don't think Gerry is a surgeon because while in PDL he was told he had been awarded a Research Grant from the British Heart Fioundation which meant on his return to work he was working in the Laboratory at Glenfields and advertised for an Assistant a couple of years later
which is why he was able to take so much time off work attending T.V. Interviews with Kate, Fundraising etc.

Morning

The description 'heart surgeon' was wrongly used in place of 'cardiologist' in countless articles, and it suited their image agenda down to the ground so was allowed to stand uncorrected (imo).

A cardiologist is not a cardiac surgeon.

Good morning Panda, I've just had a look on the internet, to see if I could find anything that suggested Gerry was a heart surgeon. The only information I have found up to now, is what was written in the Daily Mail in 2007. The article in the newspaper stated, that police were poised to protect heart surgeon Gerry McCann as he returned to work. The article also stated that Gerry is a consultant cardiologist, so maybe at some point in his career, he did perform heart surgery. The letters behind Gerry's name, will state whether he was or is a heart surgeon.

However, whatever position Gerry holds, or did hold in the past, he will have enough medical knowledge to know how to carve up a body and dispose of the remains. I'm not saying this is what he has done, I'm suggesting it could have happened. Gerry is first and foremost a human being, if he has committed a crime, however gruesome, he will do whatever it takes to keep him out of jail. In my opinion, Gerry would let his wife take the rap for something he did.

Morning pennylane, the standard of reporting by the Red top Press has been off the Wall at times, I even wrote to the PCC about it. Remember when
there were big Articles about so called sightings already discounted in the various Countries. My complaint was acknowledged but the PCC could not
find cause for complaint but did pass my coimplaint on to th Editor of The Sun.

KathyBelle, you have a vivid imagination...poor little Madeleine, first of all she had all kinds of faults, now she has been cut up into little pieces. I suggest you all take a deep breath and remember hundreds of people visit this site to read the news .

Very well done for doing that, Panda!

Where this case is concerned, trying to right the wrongs is an enormous undertaking.

Panda I never said Madeleine was cut up into little pieces, I suggest it is you that has a vivid imagination. You would do well to read my posts again and this time with your eyes wide open. It is posts like the ones you have made, that cause conflict between posters. As for Madeleine having faults, I suggest you read transcripts of the McCanns and their families interviews, or better still listen to them speak on You Tube, they are the ones who spoke of Madeleine's faults to the media.

This is certainly a very distasteful discussion. If such butchery had gone on then I'd say the dogs would have had a field day with their reactions, even more than they already did react. Plus I'm not sure where a saw would have been obtained, it's hardly something you pack in your suitcase.
