Amaral Has New Jag Confiscated!

Here is the full news from Expresso, about Gonzo´s jag:

Justice takes Jaguar from Gonçalo Amaral. Court keeps with Jaguar of Gonçalo Amaral. Copyright and share of the former inspector of PJ at the company he created were also arrested.

The Civil Court of Lisbon, who, this week ordered the arrest of the copyright of the book of Gonçalo Amaral, about the disappearance of Madeleine McCann, a also the documentary which follow it, considers that the member company created by the former coordinator of PJ cannot produce, and remove the proceeds to him personally for the sales of books and videos.
Therefore, following the claim from the McCann family, decided through a trial process, arrested also the share of Amaral in the company, a third of his salary as a manager and even the jaguar he drives - but that belongs to the firm.

The car, with a displacement of 2700 cc and with a price of around 70 thousand euros new, was purchased in May and registered in the name of the sopciety Gonçalo Amaral Ltd, with a social capital of 5000 euros.
The company, created in November last year, offers consultancy, studies and analysis in the field of criminal investigation and is specialized in the dissemination, promotion and communication of technical work.

The notifications to the publishers who published the book "Maddie - the truth of lies" - followed at the beginning of last week to several european countries: Italy, Netherlands, Denmark, Germany, Spain and France.
The publisher Guerra & Paz "War & Peace" (which published the book in Portugal), (owner of Correio da Manhã, where Amaral has a weekly columnist), the Valentim de Carvalho and TVI were also notified of the arrest of the copyright are due to the former coordinator of PJ until a final decision on the ongoing process.

Contacted by the Expresso newspaper, Gonçalo Amaral declined to make any comment on the decision of the Civil Court, referring to its position to a press release issued on Wednesday. In that document, Amaral "fears to get prevented to defend his reasons in court and admits constraints related to his own defense".

Kate and Gerry McCann, who were considered "arguidos" during the process of investigation, and their three minor children. Sean, Amelie and Madeleine, are the applicants of the ongoing process in court. They require to the former inspector, a compensation of 1.2 million euros by defamation, due to claims "continued and blatant" about the investigation of ther case in 2007. However, according to the assessment made by the Court, the assets of Amaral does not offer sufficient guarantees for the payment in case of conviction.

The house of Olhão which he bought together with his wife in 2002, with a loan from the BIC, but it is only registered in his wife´s name - was arrested in 2005 due to a debt of around 130 thousand euros. A year later, the National Treasury recorded the seize of a house as a guarantee of payment of 16900 euros. Finally, two years ago, was the BES (to whom now BIC belongs) to go forward with a executive action against Amaral and his wife, for the recovery of more than 300 thousand euros - new seized
.
The book "Maddie- the truth of lies" was launched in July 2008 and, until the end of September, has 12 editions - in other words - 120 thousand books. However, in September, also, by Court decision, the book´s sales had already been banned. Gonçalo Amaral retired from PJ in July last year, after 26 years of service. At the time, he said he went out to have "full freedom of expression", after having been sacked, months before the investigation of the disappearance of the British child, due to statements made to the media. Currently, Amaral receives a pension for early retirement of 2039 euros. The inquiry was shelved in July 2008, without being cleared any responsability of the parents of the British child of three years old who disappeared at May three of 2007, at Praia da Luz. The couple McCann was cleared, and the "arguido status" removed.

Good Lord!

HOW many debts and all assets already seized by banks?

1 -Olhão house, seized by BIC in 2005 value 130.000 euro
2 - Another house (where/which?) seized by the Taxman in 2006 value 16.900 euro
3 - Court action by BES in 2007 for 300.000 euro 'now seized'

We will probably find out before the end of the year that there was something else seized in 2008.

So.....if the rumours are true...How could he afford shares in the new Race Track on the Algarve?

These do NOT appear to be rumours. Stunning news ok, but not rumours. And buying shares from anywhere is quite easy, banks will lend you the money, if you 'appear' to be solvent. May be that was the reason why BES sued him to recover 300.000 euro ...

Now Rosie, I haven't the paper with me but I completely trust Pedro's translation. And yes, it means he was in BIG financial trouble (already when Joana disappeared...)

It makes it look like he saw how Cristavao retired and wrote the Star of Joana and got rich, invited on TV, etc., and Amaral thought to himself, "I'm the one that solved that case, why's he the one getting rich?" And then waited around for his opportunity to do the same. And that opportunity was Madeleine.

I would agree with part of this, but what is imperative that is remembered here is that Goncalo Amaral actually headed the investigation into Joana's disappearance too!

If I was a cynic, I would think that these two girls were abducted to make some people a lot of money and it wasn't her poor parents, or Joana's mother!

Come on Portuguese judiciary time to do something about a certain person. Goncalo Amaral must be made to answer the great many questions about the totally inept investigation into Joana Cipriano's abduction and also Madeleine McCann's abduction, there ARE a great many questions for him to answer!

Now isn't that an eye opener Maria?
Should we be surprised? NO NEVER. a lot of things are making sense lately aren't they? I think the end is near for Gonc, and it can't come soon enough.

Maria, thank you for your kind words, I bought the newspaper, then translated to this forum.

You welcome my friend. No problem, this really deserves it´s own thread.

So, the chickens are coming home to roost! I have to admit though, I never expected these chickens to be from quite so long ago!

Cock-a-doodle-doo!

I DO feel sorry for his kids, who could end up out on the streets though.

Sorry Vee, but I don't. He or they should have thought of his child/ren before.
So This is why Sofia was moaning about him searching for Madeleine, she had to move on her own. Timing fits exactly!

Has he ever felt sorry for Joanna and Madeleine, even once?

Actually that is a good point. They should be reported to the social services, these children ARE at risk, and have been put so by their parents for YEARS!

True Maria, and they have only been together 10 years. I bet he's more worried about the Jag than the children.
Still a bike might help the fat lose some weight. I hope Sofia's got her sunglasses handy.

So the move Sofia was bitterly complaining about in her disgraceful letter to Kate was brought about by Amarals gambling.

Hey Admin, you must find a proper pig for us to illustrate the real one. This is too sweet!

pigs removed, as requested!

Well, well well... Firstly Thank you Pedro for bringing this story here and sharing.
It seems to me Amaral's days are numbered.
TB and co, you really did back a wrong horse this time didn't you?
But we always knew that, just took you lot of old and new 3as and MM forums a long time to register that Amaral is not a man to be trusted.
But I doubt it will stop your vile postings, make your lives empty and boring wont it?
I agree with Rosie, the Portuguese should arrest Amaral NOW and make him talk, IMO he knows an awful lot more.

Oh dear, a perjurer, an adulterer, an alleged gambler, and drunk, not looking too good is it and these are just the things we know!.

I think there is much more to come out and I have a feeling it is going to be even more damning.

No wonder he was removed from the case! Heaven knows what else is going to be revealed.

STORY TIME .... Bent copper, in trouble with money, needs money pretty sharpish, knows someone who wants pretty little girl, has photos taken of one matching requirements, has contacts in Ocean Club, arranges for watch to be kept on family, arranges the abduction of little girl, easy peasy, gets paid lots of euros. Now he is a suspect the authorities have to question the bent copper, put a great deal of pressure on him to find out where the little girl is. This man has a lot of secrets that have to be gotten out of him because by all accounts he has done this before!!!
