Post by Tony Bennett 11.05.15 15:14

An important story from Portugal surfaced late last week and I don’t think it has been reported on the forum yet (apologies if it has).

The following three persons face a criminal prosecution for libel:
Julia Pinheiro, presenter of the SIC TV station
Hernani Carvalho, political and crime commentator
Carlos Anjos, former police inspector and head of Portugal’s equivalent of our Police Federation.

Why is this important?

Because Carvalho and Anjos in particular have been active in promoting the views of Dr Goncalo Amaral about the Madeleine McCann case.
Here is a clip of Carlos Anjos stating that the McCanns put through an early call to SKY News after Madeleine was reported missing (the clip also includes the notorious refusal of Dr Geralld McCann to comment on whether he already knew Robert Murat:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FfM90dsrqPM

Most here will also recall Carlos Anjos’ memorable quote about Clarence Mitchell: “He lies with as many teeth as he has in his mouth”.  
Hernani Carvalho is a noted supporter of Amaral and can be seen in this clip here making comments on the McCanns, in early 2013, trying to settle their claim against Amaral. He states clearly, and with authority and knowledge, that the McCanns delayed the resumption of the libel trial because they were seeking a settlement with Amaral. He suggests that it is unheard of for a claimant, rather than a defendant, to seek to settle a claim (acknowledgement to Joana Morais for providing the clip and the translation and to HiDeHo for uploading the video to YouTube):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cewVx7cydak

Julia Pinheiro is a TV interviewer/presenter for SIC TV, who frequently has Hernani Carvalho on her show. Here is an example of an interview between the two:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CYGePIrSUVk

The story is also important because McCann-supporting blogs and forum are already smearing these two associates of Dr Amaral.
What are these three charged with?

They are charged with the criminal libel of a lady PJ detective, Ana Saltão. Her husband was also a PJ inspector.
In June last year, Ana Saltão
was found not guilty of the murder of  Filomena Gonçalves, the grandmother of her husband. He was found with 14 bullets in his body. Forensic evidence suggested that she was his murderer. But she was acquitted, I think by a panel of 3 judges and 4 jury members (Portugal does not have full-scale trial by jury as we have). It seems that at some stage last year Hernani Carvalho and Carlos Anjos gave their opinion on Julia Pinheiro’s show that Ana Saltão was guilty of murdering Filomena Gonçalves.
Possibly that is a criminal offence under Portuguese law. I do not know.
From my reading of the Google translations, there was a huge amount of forensic and circumstantial evidence that she was guilty (see ‘Second’ and ‘Third’ press reports below), including:
1. Burn marks on her hand from the discharge of a revolver (she said they were burnt whilst frying an omelette
2. Gunpowder residue in her coat pocket (her lawyers said this must be contamination in the police station
3. Her movements being unaccounted for at the time Mrs Gonçalves was killed.

Why is this prosecution of Carvalho and Anjos significant?

I suggest it can be compared with the criminal prosecution of Goncalo Amaral and four others for the alleged torture of Leonor Cipriano and alleged false reporting.
That case was founded on the evidence of Cipriano, who murdered her own daughter, Joana, aged 8, and tried to cover it up by claiming that Joana had been abducted. Cipriano was and is a proven liar who lied and lied about her detention by the police. The end result was that the alleged torture was not proven but that Amaral and another detective had prepared a false report on her detention. Thus Amaral, the detective who had put this murderess and liar behind bars, gained a criminal record and an 18-month suspended jail sentence on the basis of Cipriano’s tainted evidence.
That case was also of interest because on the very day that criminal proceedings against Amaral and four others began (21 October 2008), it was announced that Cipriano would now be represented by Marcos Aragao Correia. Correia was the Madeira lawyer who lied twice about why he became interested in the Madeleine McCann case. He later admitted that he was paid by the McCann Team to prosecute Amaral via Brian Kennedy and the disreputable Barcelona detective agency, Metodo 3.

When Corriea failed to prove the torture of Cipriano, but succeeded in winning for his clients [the McCanns] the criminal conviction of Goncal Amaral, he exulted in court: ‘The target was hit”.
It has been argued that the Portuguese justice system, for political reasons, handed down a conviction against Amaral to teach him a lesson for very inconveniently having made the McCanns suspects in Madeleine’s reported disappearance.

Could this prosecution of two of the people who have most strongly supported Amaral also be a political move – to smear, and convict, two of his most loyal supporters?

Carvalho and Anjos have publicly backed Goncalo Amaral. Many Portuguese agree with Amaral’s theory about Madeleine.
Many people in Portugal also think that Ana Saltão is guilty of the murder of her husband’s grandmother –and with god reason.
It seems that Carvalho and Anjos may be right about the disappearance of Madeleine McCann and right about Ana Saltão murdering the 80-year-old grandmother of her husband.

Have Carvalho and Anjos just made too many enemies in the corrupt Portuguese establishment?
    

Below are some Google translations (a) about the prosecution of Ana Saltão and (b) about the prosecution of Pineiro, Carvalho and Anjos. Apparently, the mea0ning of Saltão in Portuguese is ‘Grasshopper’, and that’s how Google translation renders her surname. I will leave it as ‘Grasshopper’:

Third press report

Inspector acquitted of murder recovery functions in PJ this Tuesday Tuesday, September 9, 2014 – The Associated Press

“If the court was convinced that the jury is very little likelihood of the defendant committing the crimes imputed to her [murder and embezzlement, in this case the alleged use of a weapon and ammunition to kill PJ], all exposed above the constraints do not allow, on the other hand, one can conclude with certainty that they were not charged for this, “concluded the judge president John Ferreira”, announcing the acquittal of the defendant for the use of the principle in dubio pro reu.  

“In closing arguments, attorney Monica Quintela, who defended the accused in partnership with Rui Silva Leal, asked for an acquittal without recourse to that legal principle – that sends favor defendants in doubt. But yesterday, just speaking of “full acquittal” because “there are certainties never” justified. A lawyer will still have to contend with the appeal of the prosecution, but for now, can give herself to be. Not only because his client was acquitted, but also because jury trials – three career judges and four ordinary citizens - were to meet the essential theses with the defense attacked the main points of the indictment.

This happened in particular when the court agreed that the PJ Coimbra incurred, to November 22, 2012, a day after the murder of Filomena Goncalves, 80, a “logical-deductive addiction which affected all research”. Upon learning that disappeared a Glock pistol at a matron with cabinet next to Ana Grasshopper, “the investigation found the defendant the main and only suspect in the murder,” the court pointed out, considering that this bottleneck prevented “other hypotheses” and conditioned “to own assessment of the facts resulting from the investigation”.
No direct evidence against the defendant, the investigation still collected a series of clues and coincidences, for the prosecution, the conviction that justified the maximum sentence of 25 years in prison. It was the case of the missing gun, the same model as the gun that killed the former butcher of Coimbra, and municiada with 14 caliber bullets, brand and also coincide with the batch that were used in the crime. The gunshot residue detected in a windbreaker defendant, the injury that had a hand or the fact that the phone is switched off on the afternoon of the crime were other clues that will reveal the prosecution to argue that Ana Grasshopper killed the grandmother of the husband, also inspector in PJ Porto, for money.

ABOUT THE PROSECUTION OF CARVALHO, ANJOS AND PINHEIRO

(1) Inspector of PJ takes Julia Pinheiro to court

The presenter of SIC tv channel Julia Pinheiro, the commentator Hernani Carvalho and the former inspector Carlos Anjos are targeted as part of a process of the Inspector of Judicial Police Ana Saltão, on charges of advertising and libel crimes. The trial, says the Journal News, started this Friday.

It is recalled that Ana Saltão was in September 2014, acquitted the husband's grandmother's murder prosecution, who died in November 2012 with 14 shots.

The same publication reports that the inspector "filed private prosecution against the three defendants and was accepted by a judge who recognized crime evidence and pronounced the 'stars' of Carnaxide station".

At the origin of the process is a line in the program 'Dear Mornings', the same season in which Hernani Carvalho comments on police cases.


The commentator described the inspector of the PJ as the "author" of the murder and wove "some remarks" about the same, according to the order of the authorities.

The judge held that "the alleged facts" in the television line by Ana Saltão "are not limited to the [alleged] authorship of a crime of murder." "They are not under the public interest populist and sensationalist messages that appeal to free feelings of indignation and revolt", also notes the indictment.
Ana Saltão watched the programs from the jail of Santa Cruz do Bispo, where she was held, and felt "embarrassed, humiliated and soiled" by the comments triggered, had also to be isolated. In court, requires compensation of 50,000 euros.
