Which makes a shocking situation Pedro. At the end of the day, sometimes all you have left is family. Look who Amaral is living with now, his poor old father.

And the poor old Father has been thrown into the middle of a row between two of his children, and has finished up having to support the offender. Poor old man.

Indeed, Tony - a bit of a comedown, isn't it?

To think he tried to blame the parents of a missing child for his woes. He should hang his head in shame. He was a villian long before he knew the name McCann.

I wonder if he still thinks it's clever to start court actions shouting about his non-existent 'honour'?

I do hope he is sitting in court when all this is read out - and that it gets lots of press coverage.

He's going to lose his Pension in a minute, and finish up on Supplementary Benefit. No one is going to want to know when all this comes out, so he can forget writing any more books.

I agree Sabot.

The latest effort seems to have sunk without trace; I expect the good people of Portugal found it in very bad taste for Gonc, of all people, to lecture them about missing children.

The Lovely Sofia probably hopes that her part in this sordid affair will go unnoticed. I wouldn't bank on it if I was her. Her name is writ large on the Legal Documents as a Defendant, so presumably she is equally responsible for the debt. I wonder what will happen now they are getting divorced? I suppose she will have to pay her share.

crazytony, Sabot, you´re right.

It seems as though he has fried his brain by some sort of abuse.

A timely reminder from Tony of what Portugal's leading 'quality' paper had to say about Gonc:

Opinion article by Henrique Monteiro, chief editor of Expresso:

The judicial secrecy and the press lies.

Who lied in the Maddie case? The answer lies in what is told by former inspector Gonçalo Amaral. All the fantastic and never proved theories that a certain press has spread are in his book. And they remain without any evidence to sustain them.

Gonçalo Amaral must be a man who is full of himself. He was responsible for a calamitous investigation in the Maddie case, but according to the balance that he does, everyone is to blame except for him.

According to Gonçalo, the blame lies with the fact that the McCanns apartment was not preserved, with the British police that did not fully cooperate, with the journalists that stood in the way, with Her Majesty’s government that pressured, with the Portuguese government that let itself be pressured, with the prosecutors, with the PJ’s directors, with the conspiracy of the powerful and if he is allowed to continue unloading it will hit the CIA, the Masonry, Opus Dei, the Trilateral, Bildeberg and the Pope, the usual suspects of the conspiracy theories that circulate on the internet.

The same inspector must not be inhibited (not to mention being ashamed), because after the suspicions that befall him due to the conduction of the Joana case (another missing girl, whose mother, who was condemned over her death, accuses the PJ of torturing her) and the disaster of the Maddie case, he pretends to be a national hero and the holder of the truth, against everything and against everyone, and he maintains an absurd theory that does not resist a minimally structured analysis.
Amaral probably didn’t think about the fact that it does not become him to talk and to write in detail about a process which despite having been widely abused is still under judicial secrecy, either. Or that it does not become him to be a judge in his own cause.

But the most interesting about the former inspectors book is that we get to know where the famous lies from the media that everyone talked about, came from. Finally, we can verify that the most unbelievable theories came out of that illuminated brain. And that certain newspapers, lacking a better option, published them without contradicting, without investigating, without logics and without evidence.

But Gonçalo continues to state his conviction that Maddie died in the apartment. He must have inherited from medieval justice, this notion of conviction without evidence; or from Alice, by Carroll, the idea that first the criminals head is cut off and then the trial is done; or from The Foreigner, by Camus, the fixation in the importance of the criminals facies or the fact whether one does or does not cry in front of death.

The lawful state bases itself on evidence, beyond doubt. The notion that innocence prevails over guilt when there is no evidence to the contrary is what separates civilization from barbarism.

Unfortunately, there are remains of barbarism among us. Until very recently, it headed the PJ in Portimão. I hope he was the last one.

---------------------------------

Gonc making the McCanns 'arguidos' in the full knowledge that the law was only days away from changing, and that he would not have been able to do so then, can only have been deliberate and nasty.

If there is a person in Portugal who has no right to talk about missing children (due to his disgusting behaviour, which we all know everything about it) that someone is: gonçalo amaral.

I´ll tell you who lied in the Maddie case: gonçalo amaral.

What's this? One of the Portuguese forkers on the Brunty blog reckons Gonc and Lovely Sofa are still cosy-cosy.

In response to a normal person saying:

If was you who said the Amarals were still close and holding hands in PDL just the other week That wasn't true, unless this divorce is a way of partitioning off their assets and nothing more.

the forker revealed:

Posted by: Anna16 from Lisbon, Portugal on February 22, 2012 10:55 AMHi Eileen,

Yes I did see them together in Portimao, don't know anything else about their personal life, maybe they had make up s- e- x the night before, who knows, but they were pretty chummy. ha ha.

I still believe that this man would not put himself through this hell with K and G if he wasn't sure of what really happened to Madeleine and who is responsible. I spoke with an ex colleague of his at one of his book signings and this person confirmed how dedicated he was to his cases.

Putting nausea to one side....are we to assume that this 'divorce' is just a not-very-Cunning Plan to avoid meeting his liabilities, then?

And the forker seems to have forgotten - the reason Gonc and Cabrita parted was supposed to be the distance between Lisbon and the Algarve, according to Team Gonc spin....
