Gonçalo Amaral on CdM: "Enough with the lies"


Article translated by Joana Morais.

"Enough with the lies": Gonçalo Amaral calls into question the statement of a McCann friend and believes that the solution to the Maddie case "may be in there"

Former inspector points out flaws in the German police investigation and defends Judiciary Police

The former inspector of the Judiciary Police (PJ), Gonçalo Amaral, said this Saturday during an interview with CMTV, that "nothing has been proven" so far in the case of the disappearance of Maddie from Praia da Luz, in May 2007, and believes that "Portugal is in a position to crack the Maddie case".

José Manuel Anes - CMTV, June 27 2020, 15:20


Our translation:

João Ferreira: In the studio I have José Manuel Anes, former president of the Criminalized Security and Terrorism Observatory [OSCOT] and also a university professor, good afternoon Professor for your presence...

José Manuel Anes: Good afternoon, João, thank you.

JF: Well, at a first moment the Professor was critical of the PJ's performance, in fact you were present in court in the process which Maddie's moved against Gonçalo Amaral and in court you even said that, that at first the PJ failed. Why?

Maddie case: “They don't seem to be very sure about concrete evidence”


Carlos Carmo, former coordinator of the Judiciary Police, analyses new developments in the investigation.

The former PJ inspector considers that the English police works with a budget that allows paying informants and that, therefore, “from time to time some suspects will appear”, but that there does not seem to be any certainty concerning tangible evidence about the German man considered as a formal suspect

Gonçalo Amaral - Jornal das 8, TVI - June 21 2020 20:00 (Part I)

 
Our translation:

José Alberto Carvalho: I now have in the “Jornal das 8”, the former inspector of the PJ, Gonçalo Amaral, the man who led the initial investigation into the disappearance of Madeleine McCann. He has not yet commented on the line of investigation launched in recent weeks by the German police. Very good evening, Gonçalo Amaral...

Gonçalo Amaral: Good evening.

Rogério Alves, Sexta às 9, June 19 2007


While we are transcribing the Gonçalo Amaral's appearance on TVI yesterday, we thought it would be important to publish first Rogério Alves' interview with Sandra Felgueiras in the programme "Sexta às 9" last Friday.

The reason we are doing this is because Amaral refers to it in his interview.

In publishing what we deem to be important in Sandra Felgueiras’ programme “Sexta às 9” aired on RTP1 at June 19 2020, we will skip its first part which we consider to have simply been the “making-of-a-monster” clutter, aimed at driving in the message that it was Christian Brueckner who killed Maddie, even though up to now, we have seen absolutely no evidence whatsoever to sustain this claim.

Joana Morais had the unthankful task of summarising it, starting in the following tweet:

We would like to thank and recognise Joana's effort.
