PJGA was
founded as a
quest for
justice and
backed by
supporters
from all
over the
globe, in
solidarity,
friendship
and above
all, in the
interest of
furthering
the
investigation
of the case
into the
disappearance
of Madeleine
McCann.
Within this
scope, with
the
relentless
support of
those who
will not let
this case
pass into
obscurity,
who do not
tolerate the
leaving of
unanswered
questions,
there are
many who
follow
Amaral’s
dissatisfaction,
and whom,
like him,
urge for the
day the
truth, or
some more of
it will
emerge.
During the
last months
of 2009, a
group of
Gonçalo
Amaral
friends
realised
that it
would be
impossible
for him to
face the
costs of his
defence in
the
civil suit
that was
filed
against him
personally –
as well as
against
others –
brought by
the McCann
couple and
their
children, in
response to
his book “Maddie,
A Verdade Da
Mentira”.
Lawsuits in
Portugal are
expensive,
like
anywhere
else in the
world, and
the
Portuguese
State will
only help
funding
legal costs
if one is
completely
destitute.
With part of
his pension
and the
total of his
assets
frozen,
Gonçalo
Amaral would
not be able
to cover the
legal
expenses;
what was
left of his
pension was
barely
enough to
meet
everyday
living
costs, but
it was more
than enough
for the
State to
refuse
financial
support.
Therefore,
his friends
decided to
open a
private bank
account,
where funds
would be
kept to pay,
whenever
necessary
and whenever
possible,
expenses
that were
presented by
Mr Amaral’s
lawyer.
Projecto
Justiça
Gonçalo
Amaral
was born out
of
solidarity
and
friendship.
The trial is
ongoing,
since 2009,
nothing has
changed,
pending
final
judgment. We
continue to
accept your
donations
only into
this one
bank account
and we
continue to
meet only
legal
expenses out
of that very
same
account.
