Amaral Has New Jag Confiscated!

jean wrote: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!!!

But they probably are NOT prevented of 'gambling' at the stock exchange. They certainly can participate in the capital of companies not registered at the stock exchange, as would be the case of the Algarve Race Course and that golf course. This is a quite expensive and risky way of gambling.

But on second thoughts. Amaral's ethics is one of that category that allows a cop to do illegal things! He could well be involved in illegal gambling or gambling illegally.

I'm a complete ignorant in these matters and only know about what surfaces on the papers. Apparently, the 'in' game here now is the 'bubble'. One guy starts it, finds for instance six friends who pay him a given amount of money. Then each of these six guys find another (six) guys who pay each one of them a certain amount, aimed at recovering whatever they paid the first guy and make some extra money. And the game goes on with the (36) finding each one another (six) who pay them, etc. The 'bubble' blows up when there is someone who can't recover the money, either because it is a very large amount or he doesn't have 'enough' friends interested in the game. Obviously the outside 'ring' go bust (you probably know more about that than me, sorry...). Not long ago the police invaded a property near Porto where they found around 700 people, rich ones, and seized an undisclosed amount of millions of euro in cash along with an astonishing 'collection' of jewels. Of course, they were NOT jailed. The police action was triggered by an anonymous phone call saying that there were signs of people being robbed at that property.

Hi Calcite, I think this is called 'Karma'! Looks like it has started to bite Amaral on his amply padded backside to me!

Yes it does Calcite.

But he didn't bank on Kate not being stupid enough to fall for his threats.
I wonder if they have confiscated his earring? It was supposed to be worth 10 grand, that would help pay his legal fee's

£10.000? What on earth was it made out of?

Anyone seen this?

The house in Olhao bought by Amaral and his wife in 2002 with a loan from BIC but only registered in Sophia´s name was siezed in 2005 due to debt of 130,000 euros. In 2006 the National Treasury records a seizure on the house as a guarantee of 169,000 euros. Finally in 2007 BES (now BIC) initiates action against Amaral and his wife for recovery of in excess of 300,000 euros - now siezed.

Amaral and wife are serious mortgage defaulters.

(Admin is it OK to bring this over?)

It's fine to do so Rosemary, just provide the link as a courtesy to PFA. However, I think this may be what Pedro so kindly translated for us the other day, which starts this thread off, but it can't hurt to have it again further down the thread, it gives people a chance to re read it.
