ARTICLE ON AMARAL V MCCANN
There's a September 5 Portuguese article on Amaral and the court case.
http://noticias.sapo.pt/banca/nacional/4389
It's paper version only.
Below the Portuguese text.
I've seen two different English translations and don't know which is the best/correct one.
I am specifically interested in the last sentence.
Any Portuguese member around to give a hand?
12 de Setembro na 1ª Vara Cível de Lisboa.
O julgamento vai decorrer em pelo menos três sessões.
Gonçalo Amaral, de acordo com fonte da defesa, " até compreende o sentimento de perca que os mccann podem ter, mas como investigador, nunca pode abdicar de todas as linhas de investigação"
Informado das novas diligências pedidas pelas autoridades inglesas, Gonçalo Amaral mostrou-se " disponível para qualquer informação que a Scotland Yard possa necessitar a propósito do inquérito em que participou em 2007" disse fonte da defesa do ex - responsável da PJ.
A mesma fonte " até acha muito estranho que os investigadores ingleses não queiram ouvir o antigo responsável pelo inquérito" porque, lembra, " o desfecho do inquérito até foi ditado pelo Ministério Público e não pelo investigador".
" Mas como é possível que alguém possa pedir mais de um milhão de euros de indemnização ao responsável pelo inquérito da PJ, apenas porque todos os elementos recolhidos na investigação - assim como a lógica da investigação nos casos do alegado rapto - apontam para que a criança esteja morta?" pergunta o advogado responsável pela defesa do antigo comissário português.
A criança inglesa encontra-se sob a tutela da secção de família do Tribunal Superior ( High Court) desde esse ano ( 2007) - o que talvez explique o actual interesse das autoridades inglesas na abertura de um inquérito em Londres.

Re: ARTICLE ON AMARAL V MCCANN
Thanks Chatelaine, this is google translate......
The trial will take place in at least three sessions.
Gonçalo Amaral, according to defense source, "to understand the feeling of loss that may have mccann, but as a researcher, can never abdicate all lines of inquiry"
Informed of further action requested by the English authorities, Gonçalo Amaral was found to be "available for any information that Scotland Yard might need about the survey that participated in the 2007" defense source said the ex - head of the PJ.
The same source "to find it very strange that the British researchers did not want to hear the old charge of the investigation" because, remember, "the outcome of the investigation until it was dictated by the prosecutor and not by the investigator."
"But how is it possible that someone can order more than one million euros in damages to the person responsible for the investigation of the PJ, just because all evidence gathered in the investigation - as well as the logic of investigation in cases of alleged abduction - pointed out that the child is dead? "asks the lawyer responsible for defending the former Commissioner Portuguese.
The English child is under the guardianship of the family section of the Superior Court (High Court) from this year (2007) - which may explain the current interest of the British authorities in an investigation in London

Hmmm, it sounds as if they (SY) didn't want to hear from Mr Amaral re the investigation, according to the above translation.

I just got word that the article is written by Duarte Levy, so I'll add the usual pinch of salt, before spending more time on it

If that article was written by Duarte Levy, we have to be careful.
According to Joana Morais, he is a pathological lier.
Why shouldn't the Yard have any interest in Amaral? He, himself, once said he was prepared to give an statement about the case.

Re: ARTICLE ON AMARAL V MCCANN
If I understand correctly, also the Portuguese detectives to assist the Yard, are NOT from the original investigation[s]. They may want to keep "fresh eyes", as they call it themselves. I'm sure they've read his book, though, as well as all of the [complete] PJ files. They may be interested to talk to him in the Endspiel. IMO

Re: ARTICLE ON AMARAL V MCCANN
It has been reported that the new SY team do not want the original Portugese detectives to help them. Strange that. In the Diana investigation by SY we are told it is being headed by a former Police Sergeant (now promoted to higher rank) who worked on the original investigation into Diana's death.

Re: ARTICLE ON AMARAL V MCCANN
Just to add, if SY are distancing themselves from the original PJ investigators the McCanns cannot then complain that the SY investigation was prejudiced from the start if in fact there is a Court case in the future.Châtelaine wrote:If I understand correctly, also the Portuguese detectives to assist the Yard, are NOT from the original investigation[s].

That could also be why SY are looking to interview the 38 suspects (so that they can be eliminated) so that again SY cannot be accused by the McCanns of missing anyone out/overlooking anyone in their investigation.
Only of course if SY are doing a proper investigation and it's all not BS leading up to a whitewash.

Ok, possibly both countries want to avoid media complications.
They know what they are doing.

Again the pleasing of the mccanns has overridden all common sense. How much extra is it costing to run the Scotland Yard investigation the McCann way?Newintown wrote:Just to add, if SY are distancing themselves from the original PJ investigators the McCanns cannot then complain that the SY investigation was prejudiced from the start if in fact there is a Court case in the future.Châtelaine wrote:If I understand correctly, also the Portuguese detectives to assist the Yard, are NOT from the original investigation[s].

Re: ARTICLE ON AMARAL V MCCANN
I didn't mean my comment in that way. I meant that if there is a Court case that the McCanns and/or anyone else were involved with the disappearance of Madeleine and the concealment of her body than SY have covered every aspect of the investigation as to have left "no stone unturned" so that CR cannot find any excuse to stop a prosecution of the McCanns and anyone else.Cristobell wrote:Again the pleasing of the mccanns has overridden all common sense.

I hope that makes more sense.

Re: ARTICLE ON AMARAL V MCCANN
I don't see the SY approach as pleasing the couple. Maybe a decision was taken to use fresh eyes and only fresh eyes to make sure there is no controversy attached to their investigation.
It is media reports anyway that we are relying on and the media might have been fed a line to simply let them get on in peace without speculation. It is daft imo to think a police investigation is being run by a couple of doctors. Who really knows who SY are liaising with? No one but those concerned and that is probably just how it should be.
They can read Amaral's book and they have access to all the files, they do not need to speak to those involved formerly or at least publicise that they have spoken to them. If they are doing things with a fresh team from Portugal they are offering no ammunition to those who will shout unfair from the sidelines.
They are looking at the bigger picture imo.

Russiandoll, from the first moment I believed in the Yard probe. "A shot in the foot" said Amaral.
So many leads show us that the McCanns are not happy. Where are they?
Kate evaporated, didn't she? Why?
Where are their interviews about the probe?

Re: ARTICLE ON AMARAL V MCCANN
Who knows? Lets just hope for the truth and the sooner the better, though I am sure it will out one day.
I am increasingly interested in Maddie photos and the dentition shown in them. Her age on these photos could be stated by any dentist who could blow them up and focus on the gaps and the closing of gaps as she approached her 4th birthday. Will SY focus on something as simple as that?
I am convinced that something must come up soon to do with these photos and that alleged last photo will turn out not to be of an almost 4 year old.
The teeth in the photos are as important as that right eye imo.

Ah say ah say girl... Well said!!!
Well said Russian Doll, I don't believe there's a whitewash going on either. They've all gone very quiet. I can imagine the silence is thundering around the nine and their council. The truth will be shocking. God forbid!

Very interesting points regarding the photos. I was looking again at the 'last photo' and she looks so much younger than she did with the tennis balls and on the bus. I know lots have analysed the technical side of the last photo, but for me its the 'baby face', and of course the fact that it was not produced until 3 weeks later.
Can dentists determine age from teeth? Its an interesting idea, and as you say, one they should certainly follow.

I'm always amazed when they find a dead body and they can only identify it from their dental records, how does that work I wonder? I would have thought a filling was a filling but apparently each person must have a unique dental record like a fingerprint.
There's never a piece in the media where it's stated that the body cannot be identified because this person has never had dental treatment - and there must surely be some I would have thought.

I've always wondered about the teeth on the photos of "Madeleine", some photos show her with gaps in her teeth and in other photos she has no gaps.russiandoll wrote:Who knows? Lets just hope for the truth and the sooner the better, though I am sure it will out one day.

Imo Maddie's "last photo"is fake. On that photo she has a baby face, much different to the tennis balls photo.

Re: ARTICLE ON AMARAL V MCCANN
There was the news (Joana Morais) that the PJ had already the rogatory letter(s) (23 August). About 16 days ago.
Studying them, translations, discussing, etc...
By now the Yard must have started already interrogating people around in Algarve. But then they will get the report of each statement, translations, analyses, discussions with the PJ and with Belgravia, what to do with the suspects. Contact with the Attorney General, he will read the reports, take a decision...
If any Briton in Algarve knows where the body is, I don't think that he has to point the local but Kate and Gerry will have to do it, otherwise they will say that the abductor buried her.
I notice that more and more people here believe more and more that it is not a whitewash.
