The former Madeleine case coordinator
is building a strategy for the disappearance of the little English girl
to be appreciated in a parallel process. For that, he is going to press
charges over defamation against the McCann couple.
Madeleine McCann’s parents have announced that they will move judicial
procedures against Gonçalo Amaral. But the former Polícia Judiciária
(PJ) investigator is going to counter-strike. And try to prove the
theory of accidental death and the parents’ involvement in the
concealment of the cadaver.
JN knows that, in order to fulfil that purpose, Amaral has already
gathered a team of lawyers who will help him in a process that is to be
filed and to defend him against the actions that may be proposed by Kate
and Gerry McCann.
Apart from António Cabrita, the lawyer who defended him in the process
in which he was recently condemned over false testimony over the
aggressions against Leonor Cipriano, in the Algarve, the work group
includes lawyers Henrique Pires Teixeira, from Lisbon, and Francisco de
Almeida Garrett, from Oporto.
According to a source that knows Gonçalo Amaral’s strategy, it is
foreseen to present a complaint, at the Public Ministry (PM) in Lisbon,
over aggravated defamation, against the McCann couple and their
spokesperson. Several statements that have been proffered over the last
few months, which are considered as offensive to his honour by the
former coordinator, are at stake.
In that process, the former investigator will add, as evidence, all the
volumes of the process of investigation into the disappearance of
Madeleine McCann, and documents that have been classified as “inedited”.
He will also require the hearing of “never before heard witnesses” in
the Maddie case, which was archived by the PM of Portimão in July last
year.
The former PJ coordinator is also expected to request that, in the
autonomous processes, experts, Portuguese and some English investigators
are heard. The goal is to prove the veracity, or at least the
reasonability, of the theory of the parents’ involvement in the
disappearance of their daughter, eventually already dead, on that 3rd of
May 2007.
