Madeleine McCann: Goncarlo Amaral, Leonor Cipriani And Torture
MADDYWATCH - Anorak’s at-a-glance guide to press coverage of Madeleine McCann
DAILY MIRROR: “MADDY HUNT COP IN COURT”
Chief Inspector Goncarlo Amaral is in a courthouse in Faro
The man removed from the Madeleine McCann investigation is accused of lying to protect his officers. Leonor Cirpriano says police beat her into a confession
Cipriano is convicted of murdering her nine-year-old daughter Joana
Says a friend of the McCanns: “They met him once and thought he was just another officer”. He is
THE SUN: “McCann slur cop in ‘torture cover up’”
Amaral is “tubby”. Amaral weighs “18 stone”
The Sun says Amaral is involved in what “many say is Portugal’s worst miscarriage of justice”
No, not the naming of the McCanns as suspects, rather then case of Leonor Cipriano, who is convicted of murdering her daughter
DAILY STAR: “MADDIE TOP COPPER FACING TORTURE RAP – Dumped chief jail threat”
Amaral led the hunt for Madeleine when she first vanished
He was part of the police decision to name “GP” Kate McCann and “heart consultant” Gerry McCann as suspects

Definate Frank Cannon look alike. He was always the good guy.

The Portuguese cannot hide the guilty from the Elders, Justice will be ten fold on the ethereal plain.

Like the bigger font?

morning

I love the bigger font… (an age thing?) just wish you’d said! I thought it was me pressing wrong buttons again so I’ve been in and out of settings getting nowhere.

Great. I don’t need my reading glasses to see it.

what font are you using? garamond?

Thanks Anorak for the bigger font.
Do people honestly believe that a cop would leave such signs of violence.
We all know that there are ways of getting a confession that leave very little evidence. Does anyone honestly believe a cop would leave those markings.
Probably the same people who believe 50 meters is 50 meters.
I almost imagine that if he is acquitted on these charges he might well be jetting in with the rest of the PJ team.

So you think it is just make up? Or a fake photo? Or the photo was not made after her arrest?

Another no news day.

I thought I had heard it was the inmates that caused her injuries. More believable IMO

That would fall into the responsibility of the police as well. They are responsible for the security of their inmates. At least then the perpetrators should be named by the gaolers.

If it happened to her in prison, I think it would be the prison’s responsibility, not the police’s.

Errr….right. How about you explain the meaning of that to us simple souls?
February 12th, 2008 at 9:42 am
Its completely irrelevant to the McCanns abduction claim, they have no evidence and have a much worse thing to explain.

Well, yes. Anyway, I don’t think it’s acceptable that such things happen, and the responsable authorities could wash their hands of it, covering up for each other.

My corner shop man, the old lady, and the night shift man were all waiting for me this morning!
They wanted anorak news! They lynched me for info as I popped in for my roll.
I said I would drop in later ……………….WITH THIS????!!!!

I find it odd that they managed to bash her eyes to smithereens and her lips are untouched. They must have great aiming!

Could she have done it herself? do you mean?

chief inspector amerol, is overweight, this indicates that he does not have any self control and therfore is obviousley guilty. end of.

Whose idea was it for the bigger font? It’s really helpful and I feel so relieved to hear so many others say so as well! It’s so much easier on the eyes which have been twitching a lot lately, hopefully just due to eye strain/computers.

No idea, but it started last night, brilliant isn’t it?

But overweighted persons are often most peaceable. Apart from that, he is not accused of having no self control, but to cover up for his colleagues.

logic - be careful now - upsetting all your lecturers and getting twitchy eyes - you might find the abducter picture starting to look a lot like yourself!!
where were you on may 3rd btw?

Yes, when he’s not munching sardines, he probably sits stuffing donuts and cream cakes. Which of course makes him guilty of all things bad, in this “you-are-very-evil-if-you-are-overweight-country”!
February 12th, 2008 at 10:04 am
Logic - well its so obvious that anyone with a weight problem, does have a self control problem, just as ugly men are always preditory paedophiles…
