Re: Lisbon Libel Trial McCanns v Amaral
Post kathybelle Today

A good few months ago, I read that Goncalo Amaral was hoping to put the McCanns in the witness box. Did anyone else read this?

He's out of luck then, isn't he? And so are all the other McCann-haters who thought he was going to get away with putting on a circus.

He's the one in the dock, and they'd do well to remember that.

That is why he looks so ill. It's his own fault. He brought it all down on his own head. Too bad innit?   

The judgment is expected to be deferred.

Does that mean it will be a while before we know the outcome?

I believe so, Bonny. It will be interesting to see how long it will be deferred?

Oh my, this should get his fan club in a frenzy.....

#madeleine Ex-cop Goncalo Amaral defends McCann libel action in Lisbon tomorrow and is expected to ask judge to hold hearing in private.

MHAAHAHAHAHAHAHA      

Looks like he can't face the world finding out just how Aceless he is.

He can't have himself humiliated before his butt ugly gorgeous chicks can he?      

Or he could pretend to be living in a police station again, so the judge has to send out search parties for him when he fails to turn up to give evidence by video?

That was a good Gonc moment - judges must dread it when his name appears on their lists, as it does so often.

Kate McCann will be accompanied by her mother Susan Healy for the first hearing of the case against Goncalo Amaral who published a book making allegations about the three-year-old's disappearance.

The McCanns have strongly denied the accusations and say the former detective's claims have damaged the hunt for Madeleine and exacerbated the anguish suffered by her relatives.

Their lawyer Isabel Duarte is expected to set out the case - on behalf of Mrs McCann, her husband Gerry and their twins Sean and Amelie, now eight - at Lisbon's civil court.

Mrs McCann, who is travelling to Portugal for the hearing, could have been called as a witness but is not expected to give evidence. Instead, a number of relatives will appear in the witness box. They will give evidence relating to the "damage" caused by Mr Amaral's book which, they claim, poisoned public opinion in Portugal against the family and allegedly deterred people from hunting for Madeleine.

The family stands to gain around £1 million in damages if their legal action succeeds. Spokesman Clarence Mitchell said: "Kate and Gerry McCann remain very confident that they will win the case. They have a strong case against Mr Amaral. The matter is now in the hands of their lawyer as it goes through court."

It is understood Mr McCann will not attend the hearing and will instead stay at the family home in Rothley, Leicestershire, to look after the children. The doctor is believed to have work commitments which have prevented him from travelling to Portugal.

It is unclear which family members will give evidence but Mrs McCann's cousin Michael Wright will appear in court at some point during the legal fight. Private investigator Dave Edgar, who assisted with the search for the missing child, is also part of proceedings.

Mr Amaral, the detective who initially led the inquiry into Madeleine's disappearance, is expected to argue that under Portuguese law he is entitled to make the claims published in The Truth Of The Lie. The former officer was removed from the Portuguese investigation in October 2007 after criticising the British police. His book is still on sale in Portugal.

The libel case will be heard on Thursday and Friday. It will then be adjourned until next Thursday when the court will sit again for two days. A final hearing is expected on Friday 27. The judgment is expected to be deferred.

That makes Gonc sound a bit of a nutter, doesn't it?

You have to admit, he is quite good at fiction.   

Poor Goncalettes may not get much sleep tonight. Worrying about him and at what moment he will produce his Ace.

Lesley-ann Shand Is there a chance they are afraid that they may be arrested in portugal ? Depending on what Amaral has up his sleeve ??

Hasn't it sunk in with these creatures yet? Gonc's got nothing up his sleeve but dirty hankies, which may be why he wants it heard in private, so the whole world doesn't see his downfall.

Their world would collapse if they thought for a second that Amoral doesn't have a leg to stand on.

Well, they'd better brace themselves for earthquakes ahead, then.

Kate McCann faces former police chief in £1m libel trial over Madeleine's disappearance
Kate McCann will come face to face with the former police chief she and her husband Gerry accuse of hampering the search for their missing daughter Madeleine when their libel case against him starts in Lisbon on Thursday

y Fiona Govan, Lisbon11:27PM BST 11 Sep 2013
Mrs McCann's attendance in court is understood to be against the advice of Scotland Yard detectives who are attempting to launch their own investigation in the Algarve to try to solve the six-year mystery.
The couple are suing disgraced detective Goncalo Amaral for £1 million over allegations he made about the fate of Madeleine, who disappeared from an apartment in Praia da Luz shortly before her fourth birthday in May, 2007.
It is feared that her presence in Portugal will provoke a media circus and further aggravate Portuguese authorities as the Scotland Yard team seek cooperation to carry out their own inquiries on Portuguese soil.
A source said: "Because of the sensitivity of the situation, police don't want the McCanns anywhere near the country because they fear it could turn into a media circus.
"The Met police are worried it will create a bigger platform for Mr Amaral and his supporters to spout more bile and could damage their own inquiries in the country.

"It will be bad enough having all the old allegations dragged up again and repeated. No doubt Mr Amaral will want to say his bit outside the court and it will all flare up again. It will not be helpful for the Yard."
Neither Mr nor Mrs McCann from Rothley, Leicestershire, are due to give evidence in the libel trial against Mr Amaral, who headed the initial investigation into their daughter's disappearance which led to the couple being named as suspects.
Instead, Dave Edgar, a private investigator hired by the family to search for Madeleine and Michael Wright, husband of Mrs McCann's cousin Anne-Marie, will tell the hearing how Mr Amaral's "poisonous lies" have nearly destroyed the family.
However, Mrs McCann made a last minute decision to attend the first day of the civil case and is expected to give a statement outside court.
A source close to the couple said yesterday: "She doesn't particularly want to see again the man who has heaped so much extra pain on her family. But her lawyers felt that one of Madeleine's parents, if not both, should be there in person. Kate agreed to go while Gerry is busy working and looking after the twins. She is not expected to be giving evidence but will be sitting in the court room." The McCanns, who are both 45, were finally cleared in July 2008, when the Portuguese police investigation was shelved for lack of evidence.

But the following month, Mr Amaral who was sacked from the investigation and has since left the police force, published a book accusing them of faking their daughter's abduction to cover up her death in the apartment.
In 2010, they won a court battle in Lisbon to ban sales of the book entitled "The truth of the Lie", a ruling that was overturned later that year.
Mr McCann, a heart specialist and Mrs McCann, a former GP, are now seeking damages for themselves and their twins, Sean and Amelie plus further damages for the harm caused to the search for Madeleine, who would now be ten years old.
In a 36-page writ, first lodged in June 2009, they describe Mr Amaral as a self obsessed, manipulative money-grabber and accuse him of libel and breaching their human rights.
In July Scotland Yard announced a full-scale investigation into the girl's disappearance after identifying 38 potential new suspects and said they had requested assistance from Portugal's Policia Judiciaria.
A team of 37 detectives has spent the last two years examining thousands of documents, witness statements and evidence reports as part of a government funded review of the case ordered by Prime Minister David Cameron.

'The Met police are worried it will create a bigger platform for Mr Amaral and his supporters to spout more bile and could damage their own inquiries in the country.'

Sounds like they have the measure of the Gonc fan club. But, if he wants the hearings to be private, he may be in no position to spout anything.
