The
president of the bar [Order of Lawyers], Marinho Pinto, will be a
witness for the McCanns against Goncalo Amaral, in the civil case that
Madeleine's parents have brought against the former coordinator of the
Directorate of Judicial Police of Portimao, Correio da Manha has
learned.
Marinho Pinto has made himself available to testify, in person, against
the former coordinator at the trial that was scheduled to start next
week but was postponed by the judge, who granted the request of the
McCanns to hear several English witnesses by videoconference.
Goncalo Amaral was successful, in the Appeals Court, against the
injunction which prevented publication of his book "The Truth of the
Lie," where he defended the thesis that Maddie had died in the Algarve.
The judges held that the prohibition of publication of the book violated
the Constitution. |
