Re: Gonçalo Amaral interview on ITV

It is about time that a bit of real journalism returned to ITV.

If that Williams-Thomas really wants to make a name for himself then he should follow up his Savile Exposure programme and do a McCann Exposure. Go and talk to the Smiths and have them on air saying it was Gerry they saw.

It'll never happen but we can dream.

Is that the best they can come up with? In what way is his smoking connected to the disappearance of a three year old child?
He came across well - no ear pulling, nose scratching, manic blinking, smirking or fidgeting in his seat.

Hey, nothing wrong with smoking big grin

Watched the clip this morning. Certainly a lot of TV coverage at the moment (bet the Mc's are hating it!)
Crimewatch, Sky and at LAST Goncalo has been given air time

Right now people are watching with a bit more interest and hopefully he will have poured into millions of people's living rooms last night.

Thank you ITV for giving this AMAZING man a chance to tell what he knew all those many years ago. I'm hoping that the court case will go his way and he will get his life back, it's looking more positive for him.

He has suffered FAR more from the "Disappearance" of Madeleine then her useless, neglectful parents ever have.
He has suffered for trying to get to the truth, the only thing that has made them suffer is trying to suppress it.

HUGE respect for Goncalo

Could this be their most dangerous situation since being made Arguidos?

Ooh, let's hope so! big grin

Are they going to come out swearing their innocence?

Ooh, let's see!

Apart from the East Midlands Airport declaration read from a piece of paper where GM choked up (Well, as Hobs might say, "lying is stressful") I don't recall any declarations of innocence. I do remember a few "there is no evidence" type statements. Not the same thing.

by Upsy Daisy 16.10.13 9:38

It is surely not going to go unnoticed that they were aware of this sighting - very much so - seeing as this is a major point in Goncalo's book that they claim was 'so damaging' yet heralded the most vital piece of evidence, to-date, as suggested by BOTH SY and PJ.....so, therefore, unless they have a good explanation for SY as to why they did not insist on following it up either through the PJ or through their P.I.'s, why has it sat hidden inside of a file....mmmmm.....as if they were hoping it would just dissolve into paper?

Gonçalo Amaral: 'Irish family's testimony has enormous relevance to the investigation'

Former PJ coordinator recalls that testimony pointed to Gerry McCann

How do you see the fact that only now Scotland Yard has presented an e-fit alleged to be of the main suspect? And of having made an arrest of another suspect?

- If the the e-fit is based on the Irish family's testimony that, in the night of the facts, saw a man carrying a child walking towards the beach, that e-fit will have to be in someway similar to Gerry McCann, since it was that person [Martin Smith] that has identified him with a high degree of probability. Why was this published only now is something you will have to ask Scotland Yard. As to the "another suspect", no suspect was detained. It was someone who "bragged" about having seen Madeleine and it's alleged that he had paedophile material in his computer. Thus, his detention is not a direct result of any investigation related to the disappearance of the child.

Why was that e-fit only made now and which criteria are behind that arrest? Do you believe that it has any veracity and is it important for the investigation?

- I believe I have already answered partially to your question. If we are talking about the Irish family's testimony that I have referred to, then it has an enormous relevance to the investigation. We only hope that their initial statements aren't misrepresented and "rewritten".

BBC made a programme on the reconstitution of the events related to Maddie disappearance. How do you see the fact that the McCann couple and their friends have refused to do a reconstitution at the time of the [PJ] investigation?

- It's not a reconstitution. Or rather, it is not a reconstitution as foreseen in our Code of Criminal Procedure, which was rendered impossible due to the unavailability of the participants (suspects and friends). It should be recalled what the prosecutor of the Republic stated at the time of the archival of the process: with the non-participation in the reconstitution, the couple lost the possibility to prove their innocence. In fact that is what the reconstitution offers, the opportunity to enlighten and clarify any doubts, and it should be done by the participants, while alive.

In the investigation that you coordinated, were there suspects and identikits?

- The investigation had had three suspects. Some identikits were made.

Did you, as coordinator of the investigation, had at your disposal all the necessary means?

- The only problem that we had was lack of time. As you know, I was removed from the investigation after six months. Therefore, we lacked time.

In this type of investigation, what is the importance of the time factor?

- It is crucial. It's necessary to act quickly and in a timely manner. Initiate the investigation immediately and then have time to investigate all the leads and answer to all questions. That was what I didn't have.

So he has named the e-fit

by Guest 16.10.13 12:11

Bumping this for above ^^^^ post.

by russiandoll 16.10.13 12:13

He has referred to a signed witness statement where MARTIN SMITH NAMED THE MAN . THAT IS NOT A LIBEL.

He did not say " I believe that was Gerry McCann with the child "

he wont risk his case or be trapped.

If the the e-fit is based on the Irish family's testimony that, in the night of the facts, saw a man carrying a child walking towards the beach, that e-fit will have to be in someway similar to Gerry McCann, since it was that person [Martin Smith] that has identified him with a high degree of probability

And any such rewriting and withdrawing by the witness would discredit his testimony.

This is why the Portuguese system of publishing all the files is so fabulous. We will never see the SY stuff, we will never know if bundleman was real or not, they can basically tell us what they like. But Martin Smith's testimony was very clear, they cannot change it.

YEP and he also had long lunches.
But strangely after his lunches he went home to ALL his children unllike McS who also had long dinners but didn't return home with ALL their children.
