AMARAL\'S TV INTERVIEW ON SIC TRANSLATED AND POSTED BY PEDRO

Pedro Silva wrote:The Algarve is full of airfields which are used to rent gliding with engines, also where the brevets are taken, I know this, because, since child, I spent all summers in Algarve, around Faro, Portimão, Albufeira, so, every day, every hour I saw these kind of flying gliding through the Algarve skies, from these airfields, also planes with advertisements attached at the back of this planes, flying every day (in summer) through the skies on the beaches where tourists can see them. I know this because I have photos of me in those airfields, when I was a child. My point is: if no borders were closed, no marinas checked, so, how can these airfields being checked? They weren´t. And this obvious when Miguel mentioned about marinas.

May wrote:Pedro you are spot on, nothing was checked. Obviously Amaral treated this as he treated his previous cases, with utter disdain. He was lazy from day one. Unfortunately (for him), the McCanns would not roll over and and go away, they stood up to him and fought back. Not being Portuguese citizens and with the eyes of the world on him, he was unable to exert his usual "pressure".

Rosie if it is true that he drinks 25 bottles of wine a week he is incapable of doing any job! I am surprised he is still in the land of the living.

Pedro Silva wrote:Rosiepops my friend, those airfields are big enough for private planes / jets to land there without a proper surveillance, I have also maintained that possiblity from the first minute (which I sent to PJ, then to M3). Now, imagine this: a little girl is abducted, near the 5A a car waiting at the parking lot, then, once the child is in the car, the car took off and took her to one of those airfields, which can be explained why the GNR dogs (like Miguel told) picked up the scent of a living child, which the GNR dogs picked up until they reached the parking lot (this was another possibility I sent to PJ in the first minute followed the abduction, then to M3).

GA: no, I was listened always and as a witness... (Miguel says: let me ask you a question: you think that in this country (Portugal) many people believes that Leonor Cipriano killed her daughter? A very few people Mr. Amaral, very few people (GA says: You think?) very few people and we don´t believe: how can a woman without any instruction, without any proof, who was beaten hard by PJ (GA says: nothing has been proved, you are going to...) how can she managed, managed to be so clever, that she kills her daughter, hides the body and PJ couldn´t get a single trace? Miguel continues: where is the body? (GA says: the inspection which was carried 12 days after and then let´s see the circumstances in which he was, there is blood, washing of the apartment itself, a person who never washed the apartment, wash it at that time, there are a series of traces, if you want to talk about that case, let´s talk, I mean (Miguel says: no, some should exist for the court to condemned her, now there is also a revue of the sentence based on something) GA says: yes it was inferred the review of the sentence), Miguel says: it was inferred? I didn´t know that, look, I wish it had been, because that doesn´t convince me) GA says: why doesn´t it convince you?, Miguel says: because it doesn´t convince me, because I have a previous suspicion about defendants who reach court, after confessing to crimes made under beatings, which is obvious, I cannot accept that, therefore, I suspect). GA says: but, do you suspect of me? Miguel says: you signed the confession. GA says: Do you think so? In what time? Miguel says: it´s in the confession in the files, I don´t know or have assumed? What I know is: she was taken out of jail, during night, she was taken back to PJ facilities and they returned her beaten, it was during night, and besides, it was participated by the warden of the jail, right?).


GA says: at night? Took her at night. Yeah, it was, maybe it should be listened better, because you know... if we are going to talk about this case (Miguel says: but we are not going to talk about Joana Cipriano, let´s go back to Maddie´s case), GA says: Let´s talk, look, there is one thing essential, let´s focus here a very fast thing: I was accused in this process of omission of seeing and denounce and I ask: what does that lady do when she thought that she had someone there and she told that PJ doesn´t asked for forensics, didn´t inform the Public ministry, why does she asked to a worker, a person under her dependence, wait, let me finish this, why did she asked for a dependant medic by green tickets to make one medical exam attached to a psychiatric, this is interesting, because there are experts in Odemira, you doctor know where Odemira is and there are forensic experts there, it can be done there. It will not be a German psychiatrist in green tickets dependent of the lady warden that will make forensics

Miguel tells Amaral that actually very few people in Portugal believe Amaral over Leonor Cipriano, I think Amaral is taken aback at that remark., in actual fact I think Amaral is taken aback at the course the interview has taken, he certainly did not expect this.

Miguel asks Amaral how Leonor managed to be so clever that she killed her daughter, cut her up and disposed of her body without leaving a trace of her behind. Amaral tries to say that it was because the inspection did not happen until 12 days after Joana disappeared and that the place had been cleaned with bleach, Amaral bases this because he says that Leonor never washed her apartment. (How would he know this? Had he been there before?) However he still maintains there were traces of blood, which is not what the rumour mill of antis have it in Portugal, anyone would think there was a veritable blood bath there, to listen to them. However Amaral maintains there were traces of blood found, yet these traces were NEVER matched to Joana and they were never DNA matched either and they were discarded by the Portuguese forensic science lab too, so no further tests could be carried out.

Then Miguel tells Amaral that Leonor's confession does not convince him because she was taken from the Odemira prison at night to the PJ facilities and returned the next morning to the prison beaten up black and blue and that her confession was beaten out of her. He said it is obvious he cannot accept a confession gained under those circumstances and he has a deep mistrust of it.

Amaral is most annoyed about the Warden of the prison calling in an independent doctor to assess Leonor's injuries, as Amaral states the Odemira prison has a hospital and doctors that could have done this.
Yeah I bet he was angry about this he probably thought they could kick hell out of that small woman and that the doctor in Odemira prison would turn a blind eye to the injuries stated that they were gained when Leonor threw herself down the stairs, it really threw the cat among the pigeons when the warden of the prison did exactly what she should have done, and the only thing open to her and got an independent doctor to look over Leonor's injuries and give her expert opinion on how they were obtained. Once the Warden did this, Amaral knew he was in deep trouble, as he had no control over this independent doctor and expert witness.
I read that the warden was quite upset that photographs were not taken of Leonor's injuries immediately as they had subsided a little by the time the photographs were taken.

Leonor Cipriano's injuries (and these were taken when they had subsided a little!



I only hope that the hospital where Leandro Silva was treated after Amaral and his thugs had got at him, took pictures too! We'll see if the injuries were consistent with the above injuries of Leonor!

This is very possible, but this would mean that the person Jane Tanner saw was someone else. It certainly is very credible that she was taken by car to one of these private airfields, I wonder if anyone living near one of these airfields remembers a plane taking off around that time? Wouldn't a plane like this be picked up on the radar of nearest airport? There are so many scenarios and each one is another reason why Amaral should have attended the scene that night.

I would like to know when it was the first time that Amaral decided to attend the scene.

and then an Irish couple which told saw someone with the, with possibly with that, not sure, at 22h15
