Based on what have you come to the conclusion that the Portuguese judicial system is either incompetent or corrupt?

1. Try this for starters from the group Transparency International
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
Corruption is present in the daily life of Portuguese citizens, who are assailed everyday by the media reporting new scandals of corruption, recurring obstacles in pending investigations, crimes that go unpunished and new anti‐corruption policies that have no effect on these issues.
The continuous public exposure of high profile corruption cases involving figures from the state or private sector, combined with extensive media coverage of how successive governments have dealt with this phenomena, has undermined public confidence.
2. Then move on to this
Corruption in Portugal is ‘dramatic’ [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
Portugal continues to decline in the Corruption Perceptions Index which for 10 consecutive years has made saddening reading as a widening elite continue to fill their pockets at the expense of others. The country came 33rd of 177 countries in the survey, down one point despite its lip service to anti-corruption laws.
The Vice-president of Transparency and Integrity considers the national score "dramatic" indicating the seriousness of the problem in Portuguese politics and in its public administration.
If the current ranking is rated as serious, the trend is disastrous if Portugal wants to be taken seriously within Europe. The slow decline since 2000 when Portugal was 23rd in the index shows successive governments’ inability or unwillingness to instill in its ranks a moral rigor that it expects of its taxpayers.
The leadership can no longer be taken seriously by an electorate with 8 in 10 believe corruption has increased since the last survey.
"In the last decade the country in the world that has depreciated most in terms of transparency has been Portugal," according to the vice-president of the association who noted that that corruption has been booming in Portugal's government citing the examples of Expo ‘98, Euro 2004, the current submarines case, Portuguese Business Bank (BPN) and Banco Privado Portuguese (BPP). The behaviour of cash rich Angola is clearly encouraged and Portugal "continues to be the preferred laundry" of the Angolan elite.
Portugal’s public administration fosters corruption and the clear inability of the Portuguese justice system to resolving cases of corruption and related crimes, either through lack of means or lack of will, were other aspects that showed Portugal is failing even to bother recovering the money that has been stolen from the state itself.
Portugal is criticised for signing all the anti-corruption conventions (UN, OECD and others), but then ignores them, and fails to create specialised structures to combat corruption, or to protect whistleblowers.
Portugal’s parliament shows no willingness at all to adopt a new version of the Illicit Enrichment Law, the first version of which was rejected by the Constitutional Court. The the state sits on such legislation and remains inactive, like a hen sitting on an egg, warm and happy.
Within the European Union, Portugal is in 14th place, lying above such paragons as Poland, Spain, Italy, Greece and most of the eastern bloc members.
The Danes are number one in Europe for cleanliness, as ever, with an inbred abhorrence of corrupt practices which are seen as anti-social, anti-society and therefore anti-Danish.
Portugal takes the opposite viewpoint and encourages self-enrichment through corrupt practices by leaving unpunished those that are guilty, not recovering assets gained through corrupt practices and generally being unwilling to start at the top where corruption starts.
Portugal expects more from its elected leaders. Corruption starts in the ranks of those who govern and, if they remain unpunished, soon permeates through society and becomes the norm. This is what has happened, the system appears now to be rotten through and through.
3. If that's not enough for you, then there is even a Wikipedia page titled: ‘Corruption in Portugal’

4. And after that you might seek the opinion of our member here xklamation (a.k.a. Joana Morais) who knows more than a thing or two about corruption in her country - and ours
INCOMPETENT?
Six years and one month and counting to decide whether a book is libelous or not?
I rest my case

Where exactly is Jose Socrates, former Prime Minister of Portugal? And why is he there?

I don't share Tony's opinion about the portuguese judicial system at all.

Portuguese Justice?
The fix was in when Amaral was removed.
The McCanns should never have been allowed to leave Portugal whilst arguidos.
Imagine Scotland Yard allowing named suspects to leave the UK.
How did that happen?

Corruption in the Portuguese judical system - who's right?

Businessmen need to know, when they are dealing with foreign countries, whether judicial systems are efficient, fair, or corrupt. They take these matters into account.
Below is their summary report on Portugal, headed:
Portuguese Judicial System
The judicial system in Portugal is relatively independent but lacks efficiency. The court system is slow, and the number of years it takes to resolve cases is well above the EU average ([You must be registered and logged in to see this link.], [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]). The complexity of the judicial system and delays in case-handling are among the most significant obstacles for effective prosecution of corruption in Portugal. Criminal proceedings are often delayed due to inadequate judicial organisation, a lack of judges trained in economic and financial crimes and a lack of specialised courts for corruption crimes ([You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]). Most citizens consider the Portuguese judiciary to be highly corrupt, but almost none report paying bribes ([You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]).
There is much much more that could be said about the rotten state of the judicial system in Portugal, but for now I rest my case on the above professional opinion.
Oh, and the fact that the Portuguese system still cannot make up its mind about whether Goncalo Amaral’s book should be banned after 6 years and one month.
parapano, IMO you have far far too much faith in the Portuguese judicial system

Hi. I admire your faith in the Portuguese judicial system, but would you agree, after looking at this record of how their judicial system has treated Goncalo Amaral so far:
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
...that it has treated him appallingly so far?

You have completely misunderstood.
I have set out the case that Goncalo Amaral is the victim of a judicial system which, as I've demonstrated with a number of quotes from independent and experienced sources, is at one and the same time inefficient, incompetent and riddled with corruption - at least to a significant degree.
Where does that leave the Go-Fund-Me campaign?
Exactly where it was yesterday, is today, and will be tomorrow.
Supporting the victim of British government interference, power and corruption and an inefficient and corrupt Portuguese legal system.

Re: 13 July - McCanns respond to Goncalo Amaral's appeal against Lisbon Court judgment
Thanks for your reply Tony.
Let's agree to differ, this time.
Amaral said he was not a victim,
the McCanns stated Amaral
wasn't the victim...
Amaral is the defendant in a civil trial
about damages done to the McCanns' reputation
through his book, the dvd, the televised
documentary and his interview in the
CdM (paper).
He appealed after the judgement, as he's
entitled to.
I gladly contributed to the PJGA fund, to enable
him to finance his appeal, his lawyers and court-costs.
As many many other did and are doing.
All in my opinion.

Of course, Madeleine was a victim, whatever really happened to her.
It was brave of Amaral to say he wasn't a victim, but of course all the hundreds who have donated to the two funds for him recognise that he is another victim in all this, one who has already paid a big price.
I don't think after this exchange that there is that much we really disagree on about all this, so...

6 years and 1 month, more months and maybe years to come, and still the Portuguese judicial system can't make up its mind how to resolve this bitter dispute

The McCanns held up these same pyjamas at two press conferences on 5 & 7June 2007. How could Madeleine have been abducted?"

I agree, it has taken a ridiculous amount of time for GA's civil case to be resolved. It takes way less time for a first degree murder trial to go through the court system in the USA. With Portugal being a much smaller country and the libel/damages case being heard as a civil matter, it should already have been finalized ages ago. You sure wouldn't want to be in a hurry for any kind of justice and resolution there that's for sure.

BUT, you might 'like' to 'stage' a simulated 'abduction', in Portugal, and enrich yourself, to the tune of millions of £ssss, on the 'back' of the 'abductee'.
Who could be 'totally unharmed, living in a luxury lair, MUCH CLOSER to the UK' just 'waiting' for the big 'reveal', from which you'll 'enrich' yourself, again, via 'film, books, interviews'!
Oh, AND, laugh yourself 'silly', at having totally 'mugged off' the 'elite' UK MET Police Service 'investigation', for YEARS, in the 'process'!

Re: 13 July - McCanns respond to Goncalo Amaral's appeal against Lisbon Court judgment
The McCanns appealed to the Supreme Court when the Tribunal da Relação ruled in favour of Gonçalo Amaral and the other 3 defendants, overturning the book band.WMD wrote:Out of interest is it known if or if not McCanns responded in any way when Amaral was at the supreme court?Tony Bennett wrote:Joana Morais has provided some material (below) regarding the appeal launched by Goncalo Amaral against the judgment of the lower Lisbon court.
Basically...
1. Goncalo Amaral appealed (either to the higher Lisbon court or the Portuguese Court of Appeal) some weeks ago
2. On or just before 13 July, the McCanns filed their response to his appeal
3. AFAIK no date has yet been set for the appeal hearing
4. The Portuguese Appeal Court previously decided wholly in Amaral's favour
5. The Portuguese Supreme Court previously decided wholly in Amaral's favour
6. This case has now been running in the incompetent and corrupt Portuguese judicial system for 6 years and 1 month.
BTW, there is no hearing at the appeals court, the judges read the arguments of the involved parties and then make their decision.
