Madeleine McCann: Amaral Policing, Secrets Out And EastEnders
MADDYWATCH - Anorak’s at-a-glance guide to press coverage of Madeleine McCann.
DAILY EXPRESS front page: “MADELEINE: PORTUGUESE POLICE CHIEF IS SACKED AFTER AMAZING OUTBURST.”
Page 9: “Madeleine detective kicked off case after blasting British police” – Chief inspector Goncalo Amaral says: “The British police have only been working on what the McCann couple want them to and what suits them.”
Says Amaral: “The Ocean Club is in Praia da Luz, not in London…It won’t be an email, and an anonymous one at that, which will distract our line of investigation.”
Mr Amaral is making reference to the email sent to the official website of the Prince of Wales last week claming a vengeful nanny had abducted Madeleine.
Pages 30 and 31: “HAIR-RAISING TRUTH ABOUT THE PSYCHIC BARBER – During the day Gordon Smith cuts hair, at night he claims he communes with the spirits. So does he really think he can help the McCanns find Madeleine?”
THE WORLD’S GREATEST NEWSPAPER confirms that former EastEnders actress Michelle Collins is a “BELIEVER”.
DAILY MAIL page 7: “Off the case. Madeleine police chief demoted after amazing rant against McCanns and British detectives”
Say Amaral: “They [the English] have been investigating tip-offs and information created and worked upon by the McCanns”
DAILY STAR front page: “MADDIE: CHIEF COP SACKED.”
Page 10: “INSPECTOR CLUELESS GETS THE BOOT”
Page 11: “If Maddie IS dead she will tell me where he body is” – Says Gordon Smith
DAILY MIRROR front page: “Maddy copper is axed”
Page 7: “OFF THE CASE – Boozy cop is demoted after furious outburst against the McCanns”
THE SUN page 7: “MADDIE COP FIRED FOR McCANNS RANT – storm as bungler says family duped Brit police”
Comments Clarence Mitchell: “I can confirm that Kate and Gerry are aware of this development but we cannot comment”
THE GUARDIAN page 7: “Detective leading hunt for Madeleine sacked after blast at UK police” – Mr Amaral is 47. He has been demoted. He is 48 in the Sun. Such are the facts
Carols Pinto de Abreu, the McCanns’ Portuguese lawyer, says: “The McCanns cannot confess to something they did not do and cannot and should not lie to please the police”
THE INDEPENDENT page 8: “Detective leading Madeleine hunt dropped from case after outburst” – Amaral is being investigated over an alleged attack on the mother of a different missing girl. Read about that here
THE TIMES front page: “Detective in charge of McCann case sacked”
Page 9: “Madeleine detective sacked after outburst”
Alipio Ribeiro, Amaral’s boss, says: “The police should be discreet and keep quiet, but there is always someone who talks” – So much for those secrecy laws
DAILY TELEGRAPH page 15: “Madeleine inquiry chief sacked after attack on British police”
A “family friend” of the McCanns says: “What he [Mr Amaral] is saying is just plain wrong. Leicestershire Police are not doing anything on Kate and Gerry’s behalf. They are simply there for liaison. There is certainly no strategy to distract form the Portuguese investigation”
What investigation?

I think it is very unlikely that the McCanns will ever face charges. The supporters of the McCanns will claim it as justice whilst others will not.
Whatever the legal implications I think the refusal to answer questions asked by the authorities searching for your child is morally inexcusable.

Mornig peeps,this is my final post on the subject of Madeleine,God bless her,for the following reasons.I dont belive that there will ever be justice for Madeleine in this case,and that the people responsible will ever be charged.I think the length of time the FSS is taking is very suspicious and I beleive their results if ever known will be filed as inconclusive.There are forces at work here in this tragedy that I don’t even begin to understand,the British press are so out of touch with what the person in the street thinks,that it cannot be merely a coincidence.I can count the number of people on the fingers of one hand,who don’t think the McCann’s are culpable in some way,and frankly statements from their PR machine are an insult to human intelligence.I agree with Amaral that the McCanns appear to be orchestrating matters,and you can’t do that without powerful people in the background.Finally I followed Colombo’s link to the Vatican sites and as he stated not one mention anywhere of Madeleine or the McCanns,it is as if they never met the pope and Madeleine never existed,not one single cached page or anything anywhere on the site,all totally wiped,I for one find that frankly amazing,when it is the biggest story in the Western world at this time,thanks for your time and successful sleuthing,oh nearly forgot Colombo’s link is http://www.google.co.uk/url?q=http://www.vatican.va/phome_en.htm&sa=X&oi=smap&resnum=1&ct=result&cd=1&usg=AFQjCNEpClXWFrB_okvE43riqi6B7SuKiQ

I’m afraid it means that someone will insure they never get charged.

Amaral, co-accused in the beating of missing child’s mother, is at last out of the McCann inquiry. Though he openly broke the famous Portuguese “secrecy of the inquiry” by talking about it to the press, Amaral has not been sacked, but promoted. He is now at Faro’s Regional Direction service!
That officer has accused the McCann of doing what his own team is liable to do, as to make sure Portuguese police doesn’t have to investigate the criminal network lead and may concentrate the attention on ridiculous accusations on the McCann.
WHY NOT, IF SO MANY PEOPLE ARE READY TO BELIEVE NONSENSE?
As criminal networks and child exploitation are undeniable facts, there is not the slightest justification to wipe such lead out of an inquiry on a missing child. Let us hope the new detective leading the McCann case will consider:
- The von Aesch lead, as so many people assure to have seen him in Algarve at the time Madeleine has disappeared;
- A lie detector test to the widow of that convicted criminal with paedo contact on his computer;
- Inquire the walker in the Swiss forest he had tried killed for no apparent reasons, before digging a hole bare hands (no spade was ever found) to burry Ylenia;
More sensational news for nonsense amateurs: Leonor Cipriano’s lover, to whom she owes a 16 years sentence prison and now says she has not done anything, would have been “beaten” by the Amaral gang to testify before the court what led to believe she had chopped her daughter to piece and gave her to eat at the pigs.
Please consider before going on holidays in Portugal: there are no such things as Big Bad Wolves over there, but there are Big Bad Pigs to eat the little children presumed to disappear in criminal networks.
