The Portuguese TV Stations SIC (our "The Sun" in the Maddie saga) and RTP (our BBC) have reported that the Portuguese Higher Court has considered as invalid the injunction placed by the McCanns against the SALE (they never, ever contested the content) of Amaral's book.
I told you that it was their greatest mistake in picking the Portuguese Justice for the battleground to fight Amaral.
Much more to come... Rats, do start to pack.
Update:
Before I pour myself a nice smooth brandy, and with sinful pleasure dive into the various maggots' lairs for yet another fun reading (I do so much enjoy their lovely compliments, and I'll sure miss them when they, very soon, will rush back to wherever it is that rats like to hide), let me just show a first reaction from a dear friend of ours (hint: she was last seen in PdL saying goodbye to... PdL):From the brazilian noticias.terra:
"A Portuguese Court today overturned a ban on the sale of the book on the Madeleine case by former investigator responsible for its investigation, Gonçalo Amaral, which connects the British child's parents to her hypothetical death.
The lawyer for the parents of Madeleine McCann, Elizabeth Duarte, confirmed with Efe the decision, contrary to the claims of her clients, that was issued today by Lisbon’s Appeal Court (Collective Board) after the appeal from the author.
The girl's mother, Kate McCann, called the court ruling "unbelievable," said the lawyer, who is studying possible measures to be adopted.
Madeleine disappeared on May 3, 2007 in southern Portugal and their parents have organized a worldwide campaign to find her, although Amaral suggests in his book, published one year later, that the girl may have died accidentally and that the corpse was hidden by the McCanns.
The work, "Maddie, the Truth Lies", was suspended on a precautionary basis in September 9, 2009 and the prohibition of sale in Portugal and other countries was confirmed on 18 February this year when the Civil Court of Lisbon gave reason to the complaint of defamation and damages filed by the parents.
With the appeal filed by former investigator upheld today by the Court of Appeal, the book can be re-marketed, the same way as other publications related to content such as DVD produced by a Portuguese television channel in collaboration with the author.
Amaral is also released from the ban to give lectures or speak publicly about his work. The former investigator, who retired because of the episode, could not prove the involvement of parents in the girl's disappearance.
On July 21, 2008, the Portuguese Attorney General closed the case and acquitted the McCanns."
New update:
Sorry, had to get out. Safety reasons, choked on the brandy.
Where it’s written:
“In the ruling of the TRL, released this Tuesday and plays through the online edition of the Journal News, reads that the exercise of writing and publication of the book 'is contained in the constitutional rights guaranteed to all by the European Convention on Human Rights and by the Portuguese Constitution. "
they're able to read that Portugal has turned itself against the European Convention on Human Rights.
Please do read again. It says the writing and publication of the book “is contained”, NOT, as you so wish to read “is against”…. and unlike all that you thought you had under control, this reality you can't bend to your taste...
I’m starting to believe that these people were REALLY able to see “an abduction”…
And now UK? What are you to do when YOUR citizens are reading that the book is not the incarnation of the devil itself?
Post Scriptum: I cannot let this moment pass by without recalling my friend IRONSIDE whose one of her biggest objectives, when she wrote here, was the restoration of Gonçalo Amaral's stolen dignity. In this particular fight, she was much a of fiercer soldier than I was.
SUPER!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteSUPER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SUPER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great news
ReplyDeleteWhere can I buy some copies? They will make great Christmas gifts.
Although I have already read it online I would like a hard copy to keep.
I think our friends the McCanns are not only starting to hear the sizzling out of the frying pan, as they are also feeling being sprinkled with spices...
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm using "McCanns" in a very, very broad sense...
Yes, Maria, it is great news.
Wonderful news!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to Dr. Amaral and to the sensible Évora judge and court!
I alredy have a book, and read it over and over again, but I'm going to buy some more and give them to friends and acquaintances.
Anyone who can, please do the same, buy, buy, buy (sorry, I know we are all tight for money right now, due to the crisis)! The book must become once again a sucess, show the McCanns and their worshipers people are still interested.
Thank YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!
ReplyDeleteOf course i will buy MOOOOOOOORRRRRRREEEEEEE!
Many MOREEEEEEEEEEEEEE.
He must receive what he lost! And i expect MORE FROM PT JUSTICE!!!!!!!!!!!
I will buy a lot of copies for people I know who have followed this case.It will be my great pleasure to contribute to Mr Amaral's expenses, incurred at great risk to himself, fighting for truth.

Sorry, I made a mistake in my post at 1.55pm, I wrote Évora court and it's the LISBON appeals court. Don't know what I was thinking of...dreaming of a weekend in Alentejo, maybe!
ReplyDeleteThe Court of Appeal of Lisbon overturned the injunction filed by the McCann couple against the book written by the former PJ coordinator Gonçalo Amaral, the Court ordered the immediate replacement of the book at the usual sale points.
ReplyDeleteThat is a very GOOD NEW!!!!

Na TVI, há pouco, GA disse que esteve calado por obrigação . Agora, pergunta:

Why does Kate McCann think this is 'unbelievable'? Doesn't she know that the temporary ban on the book is what everyone else thinks was unbelievable? Does she really think that only one side of this story was going to be told, only the McCanns' own version, and the man who headed the main part of the investigation would just have to shut up and say nothing?
ReplyDeleteSorry, Kate, but you and Gerry will just have to face reality sooner or later. You can't shut up Mr Amaral and you can't shut up Tony Bennett and you can't shut up all the bloggers and forummers who are determined to make sure that Madeleine will get justice. People worldwide are going to make sure this case will never be forgotten about, that the very odd circumstances of Madeleine's disappearance aren't going to be swept under the carpet.
Why don't you ask the Portuguese to reopen the case? You had this option from the day it was shelved but for some reason you've never done it, just as you haven't answered the 48 questions. Don't YOU want to help the investigation into your daughter's disappearance? Don't YOU want the authorities to get to the truth? If you do, you know what to do: ask for a full official reopening of the case in Portugal with all theories to be looked at again. Not difficult, eh?

From what I've read from Pro's we're no longer paedo-lovers, and have now become Fascists.
ReplyDeleteFascists for allowing a book to be sold and read. Got to go back to my books, I thought Fascists burned and outcasted books.
Nobody has denied the McCanns their right to defend themselves from the "ridiculous" accusations in the book. I, for one, will be very willing to listen to them, if only they would speak.
Textusa, now is the time to let us know all you know. Please hit them as hard as you can.
Nice words about Iron. You two were one of the best together, and I hope that one day you'll be that again. Please give her my best wishes for a speedy recovery, and tell her she's missed.
Text. : a BIG thank You by the post scriptum !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteIronside: i miss You a lot!
And of course I must thanks to Iron also !
A great day, a great post scriptum.
xxs To M2 a lot........
Dia bom. sim. Começa e acaba bem.
ReplyDeleteObrigada,Textusa e Ironside!
"Tchim-tchim". God did not sleep and today a special star is shinning bright in the sky. Madeleine is looking for justice and she will not leave any stone unturned. It is just a question of time and patience.
ReplyDeleteI wish the new edition of the book to come out before Christmas translated in many languages. Will be an excellent Christmas present, especially for Mitchell and for Carter-Ruck lawyers.
How ridiculous sound now the words of Isabel Duarte outside Lisbon court demanding the deliver of the unsold books to the Mccann's. Nobody believe on Madeleine's abduction. Nobody believe that Madeleine is alive.
ReplyDeleteWhen are the Mccann's going to face the reality and tell the truth? They can feed untill toxic nausea the "Murdhoc" papers with abduction, abductors, paedos, bla, bla, bla, that nobody listen to them, nobody buy fictional stories. Amaral hit the target again: After his silence and the ban of the book, why the girl still missing? Which physical condition leave the girl out of the sights of trillllllioonnns of people in the world? In 3 years, she never got ill? She never meet a curious neighbour? Dead is the only explanation.
Amaral back in stage. I believe during that imposed silence he watched Mccann's behaviour with his "Inspector accurate eye" and got answers for some details he had doubts or suspiction. The new edition of his book will be again a best-seller. Some portuguese papers are already talking about "adding new pages" on the next edition. New revelations looking for the truth and for justice for a little girl. Ashame that he is the only one with power who really respect the little girl by fighting for her rights. We are here to support him on that legacy.
ReplyDeleteWe will see now a brave editor in UK with courage to publish the english version or Guerra e Paz had to do that job to inform the British readers about the truth?
FOLLOW THE MONEY FROM THE FUND AND MANY REVELATIONS, MANY ANSWERS TO SOME IMPORTANT QUESTIONS WILL SHOW UP.
Congratulations Mr. Amaral. The people from PDL and from Portugal are with you on that "Chemin". It is just a question of time..."Os cavalos tambem se abatem".
SKY NEWS and the latest news on Madeleine:
ReplyDeleteInteresting the pictures they choose- Madeleine Lolita, Amaral in a nice way and Gerry & Kate in bad shape.
Here go some interesting sentences:
“ The Truth Of The Lie claims she died in the family's holiday apartment in the Algarve and her parents covered up her death by faking her abduction.” Am I reading well? In the SKY…” her parents covered up her death by faking her abduction”. WaW!
“Mr Amaral was delighted by the decision, telling Portugal's Lusa news agency: "The book is an exercise in freedom of speech”. Mr. Amaral? Not anymore the fat cop who spend hours munching sardines? Again a big WAW!
“A spokesman for the McCanns was unavailable for comment.” WAW and WAW. The big RAT hiding in a holl. Not surprised at all…
“Their lawyer Isabel Duarte said: "We must return about 8,000 copies of the books to the editor, which will probably go on sale." HI! HI! And they will be sold out on the first day.
“When the initial injunction was upheld, the McCanns vowed to continue looking for their daughter and appealed once again for help from the public.” MONEY, MONEY, always smelling the money no matter if came from anonymous honest people, from cancer charity or from their strange friend Brian Kennedy. Follow the money and we will get an important part of the true story of Madeleine disappearance.

20/10/2010
A banned book by the detective who bungled the Madeleine McCann case was back on shelves last night.
Goncalo Amaral claimed the three-year-old's parents Kate and Gerry faked her kidnap. A court stopped The Truth of the Lie being sold in Portugal, but was overruled.

This is fantastic news, i hope the book is now published in the US thus avoiding the stupid laws in the Uk, i look forward to buying it from Amazon.
ReplyDeleteWhen will the British media come out and start reporting this BIG story???Their silence is making me so so angry !!!!Why hasn,t it happened.They certainly made a big deal of it when the book was banned.Does the fear of being sued still frighten them.
ReplyDeletebrilliant news Textusa this must be the beginning of the end of the mccanns at last common sense and justice has prevailed. The internet is bursting today with this wonderful news - thanks for all your work and best wishes to Ironside xxx

an opinion (spanish) from
Mercedes dijo...
Buenos días.
Después de echar un vistazo rápido a las noticias publicadas seguimos sin tener una declaración oficial de la pareja ni su portavoz. Estarán pensando cómo darle la vuelta a esto.
Teniendo en cuenta las noticias sobre el nuevo trio maravilla de la semana pasada, hace pensar que tal vez el team sabía/sospechaba que esto iba a ocurrir y ya empezaron a preparar el terreno para nuevos avistamientos, nuevos sospechos, nuevos errores de la investigación etc. etc. etc. Como es habitual en su equipo de lavado de imagen ya se inventarán algo para que no se hable de esta última resoloción judicial y sí sobre la pena y el dolor que sufren y padecen los afligidos.
To LYNN (cont):
ReplyDeleteEn cuanto a lo publicado en la prensa de TODOS los países excepto Portugal debo decir que resulta vergonzoso. Han hecho un copio y pego de la nota de agencias, reproduciendo los mantras habituales.
a) Los McCann fueron exonerados
b) Los McCann fueron declarados inocentes
c) Los McCann nunca han dejado de buscar a su hija.
d) No hay ninguna prueba de que Madeleine haya sufrido algún daño.
e) Madeleine fue "secuestrada" el 3 de mayo de 2007.
f) Amaral en persona fue quien "fastidió" la investigación.
g) Afirmaciones "calumniosas" proferidas por Amaral y seguidores que les causan dolor y perjuicio personal.
Todo artículo que se precie sobre este caso debe contener al menos 4 de estos puntos. Por lo que parece a esto se le llama "periodismo".
The best all days!

Congratulations Sr Amaral and thank you Textusa, Ironside et al for keeping us all informed, it can only be a matter of time now before the mccanns are brought to justice. The public that supported this fraudulent fund should demand the case be re-opened. RIP Maddie
