It's very long, and it's called:

Maddie case opens war between PJ and the Public Ministry

It contains things like:


The person who does not wish to hear about the case anymore is Robert Murat (snipped) does not want to speak to journalists anymore.

Really? Who was that on Panorama then, talking about Gonc's attempts to intimidate him?

And what is this crap?


On the 13th of September, the lawsuit that was filed by Kate and Gerry McCann against the former Judiciary Police inspector, Gonçalo Amaral, starts to be tried. The parents of the little English girl that disappeared on the 3rd of May of 2007 take Amaral to court in order to prevent him from writing or commenting about the case again, but also to demand compensation in the amount of 1.2 million euro over what they say are the damages created by the book “The Truth of the Lie”, written by the former policeman.

The first sessions – which have been scheduled for the 13th, the 14th, the 20th and the 21st, at Lisbon’s 1st Civil Court – will be used to hear out Kate, Gerry and their friends. Nevertheless, it is not certain that the English people come to the Campus of Justice for their depositions, as until now they have almost always chosen to testify through videoconference.

Since when did the 'English people' use videoconferencing? That's Gonc they are thinking of - he's the one who claimed to be living in a police station and then didn't turn up to give evidence by videoconferencing.

The whole rabble-rousing piece is littered with factual errors, though no doubt it will give the forkers plenty to chunter on about.

And who is this?

his lawyer, Fátima Esteves


Gonc's lawyer was a bloke at the start of the year.

Amazing what surgery can achieve these days...

Fátima Esteves, the lawyer for Guerra & Paz.

Given the choice between well, whoever concocted that nonsense, and Isabel Duarte speaking directly to the Telegraph, I know who I believe:

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/madeleinemccann/9241153/Five-years-and-still-no-sign-but-the-hunt-goes-on-for-Madeleine-McCann.html

The McCanns are not only pursuing the search for their daughter; they are also pursuing Gonçalo Amaral, head of the original inquiry. His book, The Truth of the Lie, accuses the McCanns of complicity in their daughter’s death. The British couple are now suing Amaral for libel, claiming €1.25 million. The case, due in court in September, will not result in the couple being put in the witness box, however.

Isabel Duarte, the lawyer fighting the case for the McCanns, says: “My clients are no longer arguidos, they are not defendants in a criminal trial and have the right to be respected. Mr and Mrs McCann will not have to give statements because Mr Amaral did not ask for them.”

Amaral, who is reputed to have earned £300,000 from sales of the book after resigning from the police, is believed nevertheless to have declared bankruptcy. The McCanns have not pursued the option, available to them under Portuguese law, of mounting a criminal prosecution for libel against the former detective.

Bit of a difference, isn't there?

If Gonc really is on yet another lawyer, then it suggests he is over his fat neck in trouble - not to mention hiding from Cristovao - allegedly.

Que?

It was the lawyer for O Crime at the start of the year.


And here's a thing:



Another person who has not returned to work is the inspector who headed the PJ’s investigation, Gonçalo Amaral, who refuses to make a statement this week. “I do not take part in celebrations. I will speak later”, he told SOL, two days after he went on TVI [evening newscast] to devalue the 195 leads from Scotland Yard. “It is very easy to collect leads from sightings and mediums”, he commented.


So, he can mouth off to Sol and TVI, but he can't tell a judge where he lives? I see.

And PS - Gonc's use of the word 'celebration' to describe the anniversary of the abduction of a child takes sickness to a whole new depth of depravity.

I hope the UK press pick up on that.

Another corrupt lawyer Gonc has.



Judicial harassment results in record 1.5 million euro fine for Lisbon weekly

Published on Tuesday 17 August 2010.

Reporters Without Borders strongly condemns a decision to fine the Lisbon-based weekly Sol 1.5 million euros for defying a court injunction obtained by Rui Pedro Soares, the Portuguese government’s former representative on the board of the national telecommunications company Portugal Telecom, not to publish details from phone conversations recorded in a police surveillance operation.

Soares obtained the injunction on 11 February in response to a report published six days before in Sol implicating him, Prime Minister José Sócrates and other people close to the prime minister in an attempt by Portugal Telecom to buy a controlling stake in TVI, a privately-owned television station that is critical of the government.

The decision to fine Sol 50,000 euros for each of a total of 30 violations of the injunction was issued by a Lisbon court on 25 May and was confirmed on appeal on 1 July. The courts accepted the argument that publication of the recordings violated the confidentiality of both a judicial investigation and Soares’ own professional dealings. The courts also fined Sol editor José António Saraiva 110,000 euros and each of the two journalists who covered the story, Felícia Cabrita and Ana Paula Azevedo, 50,000 euros.

In separate action, Soares is suing Sol for 400,000 euros in damages and between 2.5 and 3 million euros in loss of earnings on the grounds that he was forced to resign from the Portugal Telecom board because the outcry resulting from the original Sol article in February. The case will come to trial in next month.

Reporters Without Borders is outraged by these incomprehensible court rulings. Sol’s story was clearly a subject of public interest and publication of the transcripts of the phone tapping operation was perfectly legitimate as they constituted evidence in support of the weekly’s allegations.

A privately-owned TV station’s purchase by state company is no insignificant matter and any media coverage of the subject is entirely legitimate. It was up to the judicial system, not Sol, to ensure the confidentiality of its investigation. Sol was under no obligation. The same goes for the claim that Sol violated the confidentiality of Soares’ professional dealings. Only those involved in professional and business dealings are required to respect their confidentiality. Outsiders are not.

Publication of the transcripts of phone tapping operations is often a matter of great public interest and is one of the cornerstones of investigative journalism. The Italian media were up in arms last month about a bill that threatened their legitimate right to publish telephone tap transcripts or certain documents linked to judicial investigations. Widely criticised internationally, the Italian government has postponed putting the bill to a vote. Will the same be necessary in Portugal in order to get European governments to finally recognise that the media have an undeniable right to use evidence from judicial investigations that come into their possession?

The size of the fine imposed on Sol is surreal and out of all proportion. The judicial proceedings brought against the weekly and its journalists are clearly intended to intimidate and to put it out of business. With extraordinary cynicism, Soares even dare to say that he would be ready to take over Sol if was unable to pay the fines for which he was responsible.

The government’s alleged secretive attempts to gain control over certain privately-owned media are particularly worrying. As a member of the European Union, Portugal has a duty to set an example as regards respect for media independence. This kind of meddling and lack of transparency is completely contrary to European democratic standards. Government meddling in both state and privately-owned media is on the increase in the EU. It undermines the foundations of our political systems and sets a deplorable example that weakens Europe’s credibility internationally in relation to the many repressive governments and predators of press freedom.

Five Sol journalists – deputy editor Vítor Rainho and reporters Felícia Cabrita, Ana Paula Azevedo, Luís Rosa and Graça Rosendo – and the newspaper’s lawyer, Fátima Esteves, were meanwhile separately accused by the public prosecutor’s office on 20 July of violating the confidentiality of a high-profile investigation into an alleged web of political corruption known as “Face Oculta.” They are alleged to have “considerably disrupted the ongoing investigation” by publishing a series of stories that included extracts from telephone tap transcripts.

The department of public prosecutions is proving to be a strange but useful ally for Soares. The new charges very clearly constitute a case of judicial harassment of Sol designed to force the newspaper to submit to financial and judicial pressure. Its articles about the Face Oculta case and its ramifications did not in any way disrupt the investigation and in fact helped to ensure that it was not shelved. We urge the department of public prosecutions to withdraw this prosecution along with all the other proceedings already initiated against the weekly.

The series of stories that Sol began publishing on 5 February were based on the transcripts of phone taps that were ordered as part of the judicial investigation into a series of cases of corrupt management of public funds allegedly involving well-known figures close to the ruling Socialist Party – the investigation known collectively as Face Oculta. Among those whose voices are heard in the recordings is Soares, the prime minister’s appointee to the board of Portugal Telecom, in which the state holds a sizeable stake.

Based on the content of the transcripts and the suspicions voiced by the investigating judge and prosecutor in charge of the Face Oculta case, Sol ran a story accusing Prime Minister Sócrates of trying to silence his critics in the privately-owned national media. According to Sol, one of the pillars of the strategy was to have been Portugal Telecom’s purchase of TVI from its Spanish owner, the Prisa media group, in the summer of 2009. TVI was one of the government’s biggest critics in the run-up to the September 2009 parliamentary elections.

The transcripts showed that Soares even went to Madrid in June 2009 to negotiate the terms of the deal between Portugal Telecom and Prisa. Allegedly endorsed by the prime minister, the deal is said to have fallen through a few days later following damaging leaks. Sócrates told parliament he knew nothing about the deal and was opposed to TVI’s purchase by Portugal Telecom. But the transcripts published by Sol demonstrated the contrary, and a parliamentary commission was set up to determine whether the prime minister had lied.

However, the commission refused to take account of the phone taps on procedural grounds and, in the paradoxical and surreal findings that it issued in June, it said the prime minister “was aware” of the negotiations between Portugal Telecom and Prisa but “it has nonetheless not been proved that he lied.”

Feb 11, 2010 ... Fátima Esteves, the lawyer for Guerra & Paz, who edited the book and is also ...Portuguese detectives made the McCanns suspects in Madeleine's .... they act for Ms Angiolini the person, or Ms Angiolini, the Lord Advocate.

Thanks, Maggs. I won't pretend to be able to understand the Hidden Face case, but I noticed in CdM a few days ago some one was claiming to have received 'death threats'.

You don't suppose that that is where Gonc got the idea from, do you?

He had to be given the idea Bonny, cos he's to thick to think his own up

I wonder if Fátima Esteves is Cristoavo's lawyer. He's good at phone tapping, isn't he?

Oh, it has just dawned on me - the authors of that garbled nonsense are none other than:

Felícia Cabrita and Margarida Davim

That explains why it is error-riddled and makes little sense - Cabrita's been at the Bolivian Marching Powder again. IMO.

Allegedly, of course!

I think someone should do Cabrita a kindness and point out to her that this is Spring 2012, not Autumn 2007, and that she was busted as a liar a very long time ago.



Has anyone still got a link to that Portuguese TV show where she is obviously as high as a kite?

Fátima Esteves, the lawyer for Guerra & Paz

So, what happened to the male one, the one who also represented O Crime?

He's going through lawyers at quite a speed....

Is this a good time to say, "Tick Tock?"

Notice that Cabrita's nonsense is riddled with get-out remarks like As far as SOL was able to find out? I suspect that it is safe to translate that as, She's made it up again.

And the constant repetition of, Nevertheless and Nonetheless...

A reminder of what Ms Duarte said, on record, to the Telegraph:

Mr and Mrs McCann will not have to give statements because Mr Amaral did not ask for them.

IMO, that one sentence has more truth in it than Cabrita's latest concoction.

I am slow on the uptake today, Maggs.


Five Sol journalists – deputy editor Vítor Rainho and reporters Felícia Cabrita , Ana Paula Azevedo, Luís Rosa and Graça Rosendo – and the newspaper’s lawyer, Fátima Esteves ,

So, Gonc is sharing a lawyer with Sol and Cabrita now, is he?

My friends, I received this through google alert:

Maddie case opens war between PJ and prosecutors

The Judicial Police (PJ) has formed a team for the Maddie case, with elements of Oporto, without informing the Public Ministry (MP). The situation is generating unease, as it is seen as a disguised form of the PJ to reopen a case which is filed and that can only be reopened with new evidence and with decision of the MP.
When the SOL newspaper found that, the District Attorney General of OPorto, Alberto Pinto Nogueira, formally challenged the Directorate of PJ North, to know why they were outstanding elements of the Oporto to investigate a crime that occurred in the Algarve. As the magistrate pointed to the PJ, who has the authority to open or reopen an investigation is the MP and not the PJ.

team was unknown by PGR

Pinto Nogueira still wanted to know who authorized an investigation that looks more like an inquiry to what was done by the team that originally dealt with the disappearance of British girl. Is that there is no legal framework for the creation of this team.

Therefore, all questions of the magistrate - who only learned of the existence of this working group by the media - have been reported to the Attorney General's Office (PGR), Pinto Monteiro.

The PGR made known by his office that also was not aware of the new team of PJ and shares the doubts raised by Pinto Nogueira, requested to be kept informed of the responses of the Judiciary.

Once faced with a communication Nogueira Pinto, João Baptista Romão, head of the Directorate of PJ North, referred questions to District Attorney General of Oporto to the National Directorate of Judicial. Pedro do Carmo, assistant national director, Nogueira Pinto said then that this team is not to conduct further investigations into the case.

The same Pedro do Carmo said to Sol, reiterating that "the team is not to investigate, but to review the evidence gathered." And despite claiming that both the prosecutor of Portimão holder of the process as the Evora district attorney knows of the existence of this team, admits that "neither was necessary to give them, only they had seen the news in the newspapers."

According to found the SUN, Nogueira Pinto, after receiving clarification from PJ, you have made it clear that all responsibilities, including financial, resulting from this new team would be taken into account by the district attorney.

But this is an issue Pedro do Carmo also devalues the SUN: "They are employees of the PJ, who pays them the salary is the Judiciary, of course." The assistant national director does not explain, however, if the team is working exclusively on the Maddie case, has set a timeframe for this work or how many elements it is composed. "These are operational issues that can only be defined by its coordinator, Helena Monteiro" she says.

Pedro do Carmo still guaranteed to Sol that the new team is not evaluating the information have been collected by Scotland Yard - where a group of 37 policemen gathers and analyzes tips on the whereabouts of Madeleine McCann, on the initiative of British Prime Minister David Cameron.

Pedro do Carmo stresses that "what is being done is to review what has been investigated by the PJ at the time." This though is not clear from the material analyzed are the 195 new tracks that Scotland Yard says it has about the case: "Only the British police can talk about it. There are two independent teams to work, although there is constant communication. "

Different purpose in the UK

However, the aim seems to be quite different in the UK, where Andy Redwood inspector who leads the English team, has made it clear that "reopening the investigation is only way to know what happened to Madeleine and close the case." Moreover, last week, Scotland Yard announced 195 new leads and they released a picture of how Maddie might be today, five years after she went missing in Praia da Luz

What makes this source of clues is that nobody has yet explained. The spokesman for the McCanns, Clarence Mitchell, said that information resulting from an analysis of some 1,200 pages of information and that "all the material was sent to the Portuguese authorities', who still only have examined about a quarter of what given.

Rogerio Alves, the McCanns' lawyer in Portugal, also says to ignore the content of investigative hypotheses. "One can speak of the relevance of each one, knowing them deeply," he argues, adding still be waiting to receive all the material. Cautiously, the lawyer points out that "only may request the reopening of the case, if there is a very concrete evidence.

Thanks, Pedro, we have got it here:

so will merge the two

FOCUS ONLY IN SOLVING THE CASE ONCE AND FOR ALL, BECAUSE TO SEE THE CASE SOLVED, TO SEE HER FOUND IS WHAT REALLY MATTERS HERE, ABOVE ALL.

I am not surprised you are angry, Pedro - you will understand this better than we do, as you are reading it first-hand, in your native language.

I don't know what the problem is, but it looks very, very bad that obstacles are continually being thrown in the way like this.

What is their problem with trying to find the child?

Find her, bring her home safe and sound, this is what really matters.

Can I take it that Zeus doesn't like The PJ?

You don't think Cristoavo's got a file on them too, do you Bonny?

Cos I am beginning to think, this corruption is far higher up than we ever imagined s

The comments in the Portuguese press about the ongoing scandal involving Cristovao are very revealing, aren't they? They bear no resemblance to the picture of national unity in praising The Glorious PJ as portrayed by Morais and co.

You have to start to wonder why the likes of Morais paint such a false picture, don't you? What's in it for her?

"You have to start to wonder why the likes of Morais paint such a false picture, don't you? What's in it for her?"
____________

I could suggest something, Bonny.

But in the interests of decency and to spare both our blushes this is perhaps best left unsaid.
