If Duarte can win on her performance, it proves something is seriously amiss with Portuguese justice. Socrates will try and control the media for political purposes. I predicted this woud be held off until after the British General election, as our politicians have put themselves in a tricky position; following their support of McCanns. Those who doubt conspiracies may look again at the evidence.

Er what the hell as the general election got to do with it? What is this poster on?

Perhaps she/he should have read this forum for a TRUE account of Isabel Duarte's *Brilliant* performance, then they would have been better informed, when are these numpties going to learn.

Anon, can you spell

Sorry to be defeatist but I'm afraid it's time for everyone to just give up now.
This vile pair are being protected by people very high up and always will be. They will NEVER face justice.
In short, they have got away with it.
I am now going to take no further interest. I will use the energy I have wasted on following and commenting on this case to spend time with my lovely grandchildren.

Bye dear........don't let us hold you back..............

McCanns 'Pleased And Relieved' At Book Ban

Hannah Thomas-Peter, Sky News Online
Kate and Gerry McCann have said they are "pleased and relieved" at a judge's decision to uphold a ban on a former detective's book about the Madeleine case.

Goncalo Amaral's book Maddie: The Truth Of The Lie claimed Madeleine died in the family's holiday apartment and her parents covered up her death by faking her abduction.
A judge granted Mr and Mrs McCann a temporary injunction last September halting further sale or publication of Mr Amaral's book and a TV documentary he made about the case.
Mr Amaral, who was the lead detective in the Madeleine investigation, launched an appeal against the ban last month, but a Portuguese judge has rejected his challenge.
The McCanns reacted to the ruling by vowing to continue looking for their daughter and appealing for help from the public.

The McCanns keep up their appeal

In a statement, the couple from Rothley, Leicestershire, said: ""By upholding the injunction against Goncalo Amaral's book and DVD, the judge has rightly agreed that there has been significant, ongoing damage to the search for our beloved daughter Madeleine and to the rights of our family.
"We are grateful to the judge for accepting that this injustice must not continue.
"The court case has demonstrated, once again, that there is no evidence that Madeleine has come to any harm.
"It has also clearly shown that no police force is actively looking for Madeleine, even, shockingly, when they are presented with new information and leads.
"As painful and personally damaging as the slanderous claims of Mr Amaral and his supporters have been to us and our family, our primary focus has always been, and always will be, to find Madeleine through our own best investigative efforts."

Former detective Goncalo Amaral

The McCanns said their main motive for challenging the former policeman is the
fear that people will stop looking for Madeleine if they think she is dead.
Mr Amaral's lawyers argued his book's material was contained in official Portuguese police files, many of which were made public when the case was shelved in August 2008.
His lawyers and the Portuguese television company that made and distributed the documentary based on his book have said they will appeal the decision.
In a separate civil case, the McCanns are seeking over £1m in compensation from Mr Amaral for defamation.
The McCanns are due to respond to the court's ruling at a news conference in London on Friday.

What great news this is!

I am so very happy for the McCanns. Now they can continue, uinhindered, their search for their daughter. Congratulations to Isabel Duerte, Carter-Ruck and the Portuguese Judge who, though young, has more common sense than Amaral/Moreass et all put together! Word of advice fatty........get yourself a job!!!!!!!!

Please pass on my congrats to Isobel. So glad that Amaral got his comeuppance.

'Maddie's dead'book ban stays


Legal bid ... Gerry and Kate McCann

KATE and Gerry McCann were 'totally delighted' today after former Portuguese police boss Goncalo Amaral failed in his bid to get a ban on his book about Maddie lifted.

Amaral had claimed in the book — The Truth of the Lie — that Maddie was dead and her parents had faked her abduction.

Kate and Gerry, from Rothley, Leicestershire, branded Amaral a 'disgrace' after hearing that the ban had been upheld.

In a statement they said: "The motives of those who have tried to convince the world that Madeleine is dead, and who've disgracefully and falsely tried to implicate us in her disappearance, need to be seriously questioned."

They will now press ahead with a £1million libel case against Amaral which is due to be heard at the end of the year.

Kate and Gerry, both 41, won a ban on Amaral's book last September claiming it libelled them and was harming the hunt for their daughter.

Amaral, 54, applied for the ban to be lifted but today Judge Maria Rodrigues threw out his submissions that he had a right to publish his book under Portuguese freedom of speech laws.


'Disgrace' ... Goncalo Amaral

The McCanns were said to be "hugely relieved and totally delighted" by the ruling at Lisbon's Palace of Justice.

They had attended three previous court hearings of the case but were not in the capital for the ruling.

Their spokesman Clarence Mitchell said: "They are very pleased, totally delighted and hugely relieved.

"The Judge has done the right thing by keeping the ban in place. She has recognised that this injustice by Amaral is utterly wrong and must stop.

"The judgement also recognises that what he has done is harming the search for Madeleine."

A furious Amaral, who was sacked from the Maddie inquiry after five months, stormed from the court building with a face like thunder.

He refused to comment but his lawyer later said his client would be appealing the decision.

Kate and Gerry had had to endure hearing harrowing evidence during previous sessions of the court case.

They listened as former police colleagues of Amaral claimed that Maddie had died on the night she disappeared on May 3 2007 from a holiday apartment in Praia da Luz, Portugal, shortly before her fourth birthday.

They also had accusations that they disposed of her body hurled at them and claims that they were "lying" about her abduction.

Amaral was the police boss first drafted in to head the hunt for Maddie.


Missing ... Maddie McCann

As it later transpired in his book, which he wrote in July 2008 after retiring from the police force, he began to suspect Kate and Gerry of lying about Maddie's disappearance within hours of her going missing.

As the inquiry continued instead of concentrating police efforts on finding Maddie, he appeared to have focused instead on proving the McCanns' guilt.

Amaral claims in the book that Maddie died as a result of an accident in the apartment, that her parents hid her body then pretended she had been snatched from her bed.

In court he claimed the allegations were based on official police files and called a string of former colleagues to back up his claims.

They supported his story, saying they too suspected the McCanns — pointing out that two sniffer dogs brought in by British police found the 'smell of death' in the holiday flat.

But the McCanns' lawyer Isabel Duarte claimed there was no evidence the McCanns were involved in Maddie's disappearance.

She also accused Portuguese police of failing to follow up many new leads and sightings of Maddie because they believed she was dead.

Amaral is believed to have made hundreds of thousands of pounds from the book and also from a DVD documentary based on it.


Seized

The DVD has also been banned under the court order. Since September's ban Amaral has had all his assets seized by the Portuguese courts.

The McCanns' statement told of their "relief" that the ban had stayed in place.

The couple, both doctors, said: "We are very pleased and relieved with the judge's decision in Lisbon.

"By upholding the injunction against Goncalo Amaral's book and DVD, the judge has rightly agreed that there has been significant, ongoing damage to the search for our beloved daughter Madeleine and to the rights of our family.

"We are grateful to the judge for accepting that this injustice must not continue. The court case has demonstrated, once again, that there is no evidence that Madeleine has come to any harm."

Talking about the evidence in the case the couple added: "It has also clearly shown that no police force is actively looking for Madeleine, even, shockingly, when they are presented with new information and leads."

They went on: "As painful and personally damaging as the slanderous claims of Mr Amaral and his supporters have been to us and our family, our primary focus has always been, and always will be, to find Madeleine through our own best investigative efforts.

"It is still incumbent upon the British and Portuguese authorities to ensure that every credible lead has been investigated and that a meaningful search for our innocent and vulnerable little girl is properly carried out."

Kate and Gerry ended their statement by calling on people to keep looking for their daughter saying: "We must and will keep looking for Madeleine and those responsible for her abduction.

"We implore the public, especially the Portuguese people, to help us look for Madeleine, to remain vigilant and to give us any information that could help us find our daughter."

There will be a full trial at a later date on whether the injunction banning the book should be made permanent, said Ms Duarte.

The McCanns are seeking 1.2million euros (£1.08million) in compensation for defamation in separate civil proceedings against Amaral in Portugal.

Speaking later an angry Amaral, who wears a diamond stud earring, said he would appeal the decision saying it violated his freedom of speech rights.

He also accused the McCanns of 'persecuting' him and his family.

He said: "It was an unbalanced decision and I will appeal.

"What is at stake is freedom of speech."

Ms Duarte welcomed the verdict. She said: "This decision will protect clients because they have suffered a living hell with this book and all these lies."

'Liar’ cop ignored Maddie tip-offs

From ANTONELLA LAZZERI, in Lisbon

Published: 12 Feb 2010

COPS in Portugal ignored hundreds of "sightings" of Madeleine McCann - because they believed she was dead, it was claimed yesterday.

Inspector Ricardo Paiva also neglected to show her parents "shockingly similar" photos the public had sent in believing they were Maddie - or act on tip-offs.

'Shocked' ... Gerry and Kate outside Lisbon court

Instead he put every bit in a dossier after writing on it: "Not relevant to the investigation". Maddie's parents, Kate and Gerry, only learnt the file existed this week.

Maddie, now six, vanished from a holiday resort in Praia da Luz, Portugal, in May 2007.

Paiva, the McCanns' family liaison officer, started collating the dossier in July 2008 after cops called off the hunt.

It contains information from police forces across Europe including sightings, photos of houses where people reported seeing Maddie and tips-offs.

Isabel Duarte, the McCanns' solicitor, asked to see the dossier after Paiva mentioned it at a court hearing.

Kate and Gerry, both 41, from Rothley, Leics, were shown it this week while in Lisbon for a different case brought by former police chief Goncalo Amaral.

The 50-year-old, who headed the initial hunt, is fighting for a ban on a book he wrote about Maddie to be lifted. In it, he claims Maddie is dead and her parents faked her abduction.

Mrs Duarte branded Paiva a "liar" in court when he claimed he would reopen the Maddie case if new information came forward.

She said yesterday: "Every piece was treated the same way - Ricardo Paiva writes on it, 'this is not relevant to the investigation'.

"He believed, and to this day still believes, that Madeleine is dead.

"I said to him, 'How can you find a person when you are not looking for them?'"

She said some pictures of girls in the file were "shockingly similar to Madeleine".

The McCanns' spokesman, Clarence Mitchell, said they were shocked at what was in the file, and that little had been done to investigate it.

He said: "Their private investigators will follow up everything they can."

Inspector Paiva declined to comment.

She will be in trouble big time one day manipulating stories of journalist. It is in breach of the international authors right law!! Now what was the reason this time? Because of what Isabel Duarte said...????


Isabel Duarte in Publico
Quote:

"No one can face a citizen or citizens who are not convicted in court. This was a good decision. I believe that my clients are now in a position where they can defend themselves in court, "said Isabel Duarte, alluding to other lawsuits against Goncalo Amaral, one for defamation, as it seeks damages of at least 1.2 million million, and another for breach of secrecy.

Isabel Duarte said he believed "those courts" and noted that Kate and Gerry "do not know where Madeleine is and even though they live daily with lies many, many fighting forces." "There are many people organized on the Internet, with hundreds of blogs, they call all the names. This is bad. My clients struggle against bandits and many need support, "he said.

The barrister said he had notified the court McCanns through written and telephone message that Kate said: "This is the beginning of a new situation that can reopen the search for Madeleine."

Book a former inspector of the PJ will remain prohibited
McCann wins case against Gonçalo Amaral

The book by former judicial police inspector Gonçalo Amaral "True Lies" will remain withdrawn from bookstores, ruled that Judge Maria Gabriela Cunha Rodrigues, hearing the injunction interposed by the McCanns.

Likewise, the video of Gonçalo Amaral's argument is that the parents of Maddie McCann is involved in her disappearance, will continue to not be issued.

Neither the ex-inspector of the judicial or TVI, might refer to the subject. The judge forwarded his decision this morning to lawyers in his office in the Courthouse in Lisbon.

This decision could still be appealed, as indeed is considering TVI's lawyer, Miguel Coroadinho.

In this procedural issue that is a protective order, then will be the main action aimed at the permanent withdrawal of the book market.

Madeleine
Gonçalo Amaral says that banning the book is "completely wished,"

Gonçalo Amaral today considered "completely wished," the court's decision to make permanent the ban on his book "Maddie - The Truth Lies", in which it is claimed the involvement of Kate and Gerry McCann in the disappearance of her daughter.

After stating that will appeal the ruling, said Gonçalo Amaral disagree with the judge's decision process, Gabriela Cunha Rodrigues, stressing that reflects "the state where freedom of expression is in Portugal." Of course, I disagree with the decision. If we had agreed not opposed to the injunction. This decision puts in question and continue to limit my freedom of expression. Therefore, it is quite wished, "said

Outside the courthouse, in Lisbon, Gonçalo Amaral reiterated that the sentencing today at 7. First Court of Civil Court, "is another step" in the fight that is fighting in court with the McCanns, parents of missing child in the Algarve in May 2007. "We are prepared to reach the European Court of Human Rights if necessary", he said, admitting that he is suffering "persecution" by the British couple, who have other cases against the former Inspector of Judicial Police.

Amaral, who was part of the research team of the PJ set up to find Madeleine McCann, said that "it is the survival" of their families is being questioned. For its part, the lawyer for Kate and Gerry McCann - who on Friday promote a press conference in London - was glad to have been "vindicated" by the decision to withdraw the book market and the video with the same title based on a documentary broadcast on TVI.

"No one can face a citizen or citizens who are not convicted in court. This was a good decision. I believe that my clients are now in a position where they can defend themselves in court, "said Isabel Duarte, alluding to other lawsuits against Goncalo Amaral, one for defamation, as it seeks damages of at least 1.2 million million, and another for breach of secrecy.

Isabel Duarte said he believed "those courts" and noted that Kate and Gerry "do not know where Madeleine is and even though they live daily with lies many, many fighting forces." "There are many people organized on the Internet, with hundreds of blogs, they call all the names. This is bad. My clients struggle against bandits and many need support, "he said.

The barrister said he had notified the court McCanns through written and telephone message that Kate said: "This is the beginning of a new situation that can reopen the search for Madeleine." The trial of the injunction, ordered temporarily to 9 September 2009, held in four sessions in mid-January. In addition to Gonçalo Amaral, were also covered the War & Peace, publisher of the book, TVI and Valentim de Carvalho, who sold the video aired a documentary on the TV station. All will appeal the decision.

yes me and vee got a nice pressie today from the portuguese lawyer x

Video from RTP about today´s court decision:

Translation:

Madeleine´s parents win at court. McCanns win process against former inspector.

Sandra Felgueiras: "It remains prohibited to say Madeleine died and his book the truth of lie, continues out of the market. To the magistrate Maria Gabriela Rodrigues the right of the good name of the couple McCann prevails over freedom of expression of the former investigator".

Mrs. Isabel Duarte: "The lady judge considered truly that book quoted parts of the process and calls with an intention of conducting to the final thesis".

Reporter: "So, the book decontextualizes somehow the investigation".

Mrs. Isabel Duarte: "That´s right, exactly".

Amaral´s words: "It is a possible decision, today is not know how the courts works, what´s happens at court rooms it´s not the final result, so..."

Reporter: "You feel censored".

Amaral: "Completely".

Sandra Felgueiras: "GA says that everything he wrote is grounded in the investigation he conducted for half a year at the Portimao PJ. As for the couple McCann, this time, they didn´t came to Lisbon, but already sent a message of thanks to their lawyer".

Mrs. Isabel Duarte: "Thank you. Kate, so, translating, my client says: this is the beginning of better conditions to find their daughter".

Sandra Felgueira´s words: "With this victory, Kate and Gerry McCann find themselves more comfortable to insist in the re-opening of the case to find Madeleine. For GA, the fight to restore the book in the market continues until when it´s needed or until the European court of human rights".

With the image of Pedro Ribeiro, Sandra Felgueiras RTP.

Another video with the title:

Translation:

"Court gives reason to couple McCann":

"The court decided that GA´s book will not go to the newsstands and gives reason to the injunction requested by the couple McCann who suspended the book and the documentary about the same subject displayed by TVI. Last week GA defended the re-opening of the process about the disappearance of the child, saying that hundreds of diligencies remained to be done. This morning at the entrance of the court, GA showed confident".

But at this time, Sandra Felgueiras, good afternoon, before the decision of the court, GA´s confidence collapses.

Sandra Felgueira´swords: "It collapses but GA left the court saying that he is going to appeal until wherever it takes, but with me is now GA, and I want to ask you: your expectations collapses, you defend you are a censored man in Portugal. GA says: "That is a fact, but the expectation, this was a decision among many possible decisions, so, if we are ready for this type of decision, and next is the appeal".

Felgueiras: "What do you think happened to the contribute given in hearing by your former PJ colleagues who reaffirmed your thesis that you are prohibited of repeating?"

Amaral words: "Look (Felgueiras interrup him by saying: was invalidated why by the magistrate?"), GA says: they noticed it was an injustice and noticed that many of the times what happened at hearing court doesn´t reflect at the sentences knowed, so, is it the Portuguese Justice system working".

Felgueiras: "But, do you believe at this moment, that the Portuguese justice, do you think that this decision of, undermines the possibility of going ahead and writes what you think is correct?"

Amaral words: "Exactly, this decision it is a very dangerous decision, it is a decision that, from now on, can undermine any other book, it underrmines the possibility of the Portuguese possibility of knowing, of having access to certain opinions and from himself the reader and the Portuguese citizen to create their opinion about what it reads and what it sees, so, from now on, it seems that the Portuguese people (I don´t understand the word because there is wind and people´s noise who cannot let me listen his word), and no more interests the rest, it only interests certain created opinions from those who creates public opinion sometimes or sell that opinion at the market".

Felgueiras: "The truth of lie continues to be prohibited, out of the market, GA continues prohibited of repeating the thesis, you told me already that will go until it´s needed, can you precise for how long time available to fight?"

Amaral´s words: "Until we reach the European court of human rights, there, we have no doubts, andf if we have to go there, but we have the phase of appeal, so, we will see what it will be the decision".

Felgueiras: "But still, with this decision, don´t you think that your ambition starts to lose some credibility in the country, because, last week you told you wanted to re-opened the process, but, at the same time, the couple McCann presented according them, evidences that your colleagues Faro or Portimao (better saying) have not investigated properly the search for the child?"

Amaral´s words: "Look, you are putting me two questions completely different: I don´t know what´s happening in Portimao, what I can tell you is the issue of the re-opening of the process is, requested by the couple, is a lie, because they have done everything to shelved the process, now it is not understood why they want to reopen it, so, it is so, as you know, the final dispatch itself from the prosecutor speaks about several hypothesis, to reopen the process is necessary to investigate those hypothesis and certainly that is not what the couple wants, to be investigated all hypothesis, as for the other part, no clues are followed, what always arrived at police and it is what is arriving at this moment, are clues of sightings, I suppose of that type, because I have heard the Doctor Attorney speaked about 50 children alike or similar, there are a lot more in the world children like that one".

Felgueiras: "Do you really believe that you have done everything in your power to find Madeleine McCann alive?"

Amaral´s words: "I have no doubts about that, besides, that work is reflected in the book the truth of lie, that is why it was written, and about that there is no doubt about the work performed after the book came out".

Felgueiras: "Thank you, so, it is the conviction of GA, and would risk to do a difficult manoeuvre, because there a cable here, anyway, it is important at this time to try to listen the couple McCann´s lawyer, the couple is not in Portugal, despite arrived at the previous hearings, at December and January, this time decided not to stay, to come to Portugal to listen the final decision, anyway, Isabel Duarte already told us the message sent by Kate Healy soon after released the decision of the court given was positive. Dra. Isabel Duarte live for RTP, I ask, what was the reaction of the couple about this, news?"

Mrs. Isabel Duarte: "I sent a message to my client Kate, my client is working right now, and she replied, as well as thanking to the persons who supported herand asking me to do it, told me this was, this decision was the reopening the conditions of find their daughter, efficiently and success, it is a good thing for Madeleine".

Felgueiras: "During this trial, rekindle the memory of the death thesis who came here to be silenced, with several inspectors repeating they believe the child is dead, you Mrs. Dra arrived here it this decision, do you think that the Portuguese public opinion is ready to forget that part of the story, to forget that there was a period when PJ indeed believed the child were dead?"

Mrs. Isabel Duarte: "What happened during this trial was brought to it the only persons who defended that thesis in reports at the process shelved in Portimao, were not brought to this trial persons who were not defended that thesis namely the inspectors who subscribed the last report who caused the shelve of the process, besides, Mrs. judge mentioned exactly that, enlighted us that she made a full read of the enquiry of Portimao before says this decision".

Felgueiras: "And what was the conclusion, what was the argument the magistrate gave to justify the maintenance of this injunction?"

Mrs. Isabel Duarte: "Are the same arguments much deeper, from the first injunction, so, this book, she weighed necessarily the rights of freedom of speech and the right to people to be treated with dignity and respected and from that weigh, from that valour, Mrs. judge understood that this book could not remained in the market because violated the rights much more important the freedom of speech".

Felgueiras: "As for the main process and to your will and the couple´s will to reopen that process, in which phase is where?"

Mrs. Isabel Duarte: "At our office, we are examining all the documentation which came from Algarve, selecting those who seems important and those who is secondary or absolutely unnecessary, in a way that I can gather with my colleagues and with my clients and all of us together take a decision about the reopen of the process, in which they have showned desire to do it, after seeing that there are several elements at the Portimao process unaware by them".

Felgueiras: "Thank you Mrs. Dra.

And so, it´s ended this trial, this saga, another saga in the process Madeleine McCann.
The book of GA it is definitely prohibited, at this moment it is prigibited. GA stays prevented of repeating his thesis that he defended or wroted in the book, a thesis he was feeding during the period he was in charge of the investigation, or believing that the child was dead and that the couple were behind the concealment of a body. The magistrate Maria Gabriela Rodrigues agreed to a request by the couple, held it in its ruling today, the right to good name prevails and therefore this cannot stay in business. It was no longer since September, now we know that it will continue to be out of business. But GA says he will appeal to wherever it needs, even to the European court of human rights.

Yeah, I was there, had the joy and happiness of knowing it in second place (Kate first, of course) but I missed all the fun and games here!!!

So so happy that only now tears come to my eyes.

Yes, I gave a very big hug to Isabel, and I thanked her. So over the moon that I forgot to congratulate her!

I was expecting to have on my mail the press release, but it is not there yet.

Off the topic, but I can't resist: Jo wasn't there neither was Cabrita, but the Gonçallettes were, along with a decent number of 'supporters'. The louder Gonçallette had a red carnation on her ear and a beautiful white rose on her hand. The rose wasn't delivered... Then she came down doing her job, that is, shouting. At a point in time she probably had a 'blank' and shouted furiously : 'Long live the portuguese justice!' (viva a justiça portuguesa) to which I imediately answered 'Long live!' (viva). I didn't shout, only spoke, but she heard. Watching her face has been hilarious!

Would love to have been there. Well done Isobel Duarte. Feel so happy for the McCanns and Portuguese justice.

Sorry to be defeatist but I'm afraid it's time for everyone to just give up now.
This vile pair are being protected by people very high up and always will be. They will NEVER face justice.
In short, they have got away with it.
I am now going to take no further interest. I will use the energy I have wasted on following and commenting on this case to spend time with my lovely grandchildren.

Well, mr or Mrs anon, I think you have wasted three years of your life that yes, would better have been spent with your grandchildren. I am sure Madeleine's grandparents would love just one day with their precious grandaughter, and people like you, have damaged the search for her by trying to force your belief that Madeleine is dead onto other people. I hope that when Madeleine is found you have the decency at least to apologise and admit you were so wrong. You have to live with your conscience like the rest of the anti brigade and hate forums the likes of you infest.
I doubt we will see any apologies coming forward when that day comes, but I can live in hope. You lot live with hate.

And good job explaining to your loving grandchildren why you HAVEN'T been spending that time with them for the past three years.

Brilliant, Maria, simply brilliant.
Ms. Duarte is true lawyer and true patriot. She took on this case because she knew her countrymen had done wrong and that everyone deserves justice. She did so knowing it could have ill affects on her and her business... I admire her fortitude and courage, and yours, too. :)

I, too, have tears in my eyes.
I hope this is the beginning of renewing the search for Madeleine and the focus no longer on the McCanns, the victims of a terrible crime and a miscarriage of justice.
Based on lies and misdeeds.

Bravo Maria, brilliant. Well done Mrs. Duarte, fantastic work.

Can someone confirm, apeals notwithstanding, that this ban is now permanent, and not still only temporary?

Oh, and thank you Pedro, for posting up that translation!

Vee

Happy birthday!

Sorry to disapoint you, the ban is not yet definitive. It will be when the main action is decided, the libel one.

Also, Amaral will appeal, however unlike other situations (Leonor's trial, when he was sentenced, that sentence will not take effect until the appeal is decided) this appeal does not have any suspensive effects, that is, no matter how many appeals there are and how long they take, this ban will be in force.

You welcome my friend Vee.
