A belated from me that Goncalo Amaral's Books have been returned.

I hope this really means his Books will now be available worldwide. I can't wait to purchase my very own copy.

I hope the tide is turning - it can't come soon enough.

I wonder if any publishing company will translate it into English?

Transcript

Judite de Sousa [JS]: Here in the studio I have Gonçalo Amaral, the inspector of the Judiciary Police that has lead the investigations five years ago in situ to the disappearance of Madeleine McCann. Good evening, Gonçalo Amaral.

Gonçalo Amaral [GA]: Good evening.

JS: In your opinion what causes Scotland Yard to, suddenly, ask the Judiciary Police to re-open the process and to categorically state that there are 195 new opportunities to investigate?

GA: Well, we have to understand the timing, understand the moment... Yesterday was the 25 of April [commemorative date of the end of the dictatorship in Portugal in 1974, known as Carnation Revolution] it's important because it's the day of freedom and democracy is celebrated in Portugal, and a foreign power, or someone from a foreign power is telling us: "It's like this, reopen it!". It's important. We are a few days away of the sad anniversary of the child's disappearance, a tragic moment... We are one year after that team started their investigation, where they've spent millions of pounds; they have been questioned back in England about that. To say that they have 195 opportunities of investigation - I have to ask, why is that? Why do they still have 195, why don't they have only 5?

PRESS STATEMENT: "The Truth of the Lie" Freed

Publinédita, as the literary agency of Gonçalo Amaral, witnessed on April 26, 2012 the return to Guerra e Paz Publishers, by Dra. Isabel Duarte, of the copies of the book The Truth of the Lie, that were so far in the care of that lawyer.

Publinédita welcomes the fact that a judicial decision was obeyed, which constitutes an important moment of the affirmation of the right to freedom of expression of Gonçalo Amaral in face of an unjust restriction that the Author has been a target of in the past years.

The public was also deprived of freely accessing and reading the The Truth of the Lie, an essential document for a better understanding of the case of the disappearance of Madeleine McCann. According to information received from Guerra e Paz Publishers, very soon the book will again be available to readers.

From Gonçalo Amaral there are already in bookshops the two other books from the author, The English Gag (on the ethical and political questions raised by the ban that forbade the book Maddie, The Truth of The Lie) and Defenceless Lives (on the disappearance, abduction and abuse of children in Portugal) - both published by Planeta Manuscrito.

"[...] This book has a greater purpose. The contribute to the discovery of material truth and the realization of justice in the investigation known as "Maddie case". These are fundamental values ​​to which I am forced by the imperative of conscience, conviction and discipline to the institution to which I was proud to belong. These same values ​​are not extinguished with my retirement and will continue to be present in my life. Under no circumstances should the book calls into question the work of my colleagues in the Judicial Police, or compromise the ongoing investigation. It is my deep understanding that the disclosure in a work of this kind, of all the facts, could compromise future efforts to determine the discovery of truth. However, the reader will find data that unknown, interpretations of the facts - always under the law - and, of course, relevant questions. A criminal investigation only committed to the pursuit of material fact. You should not worry about political correctness. "
