The former inspector, who investigated the disappearance of Jane, daughter of Leonor Cipriano sued both by aludirem publicly that the alleged torture that was targeted during the interrogation of the Joana case.

Aragão Correia, Leonor Cipriano's lawyer, argues that courts have already found as a fact that his client was tortured, although the Public Ministry (MP) to maintain the charge in the libel suit that has Gonçalo Amaral as the complainant.

Gonc wanted to be heard by video conferencing

I think somebody is scared of Ms Duarte

I see his smug fat mate is in the background

I think he is afraid of The Lovely Sofia as well. She could kill him if she gets her hands on him now that everyone knows about him and her defrauding Gonc's Brother. Together. I wonder what they did with the money. They sure as hell didn't pay any of their debts.
Some fine marriage that turned out to be.

Marcos confirms postponement

He is really afraid of Dr Isabel Duarte!

They make me feel like this

Catkins, your words are mine.

Why was it postponed?

Catkins, I agree with you, dianeh, your words are mine.

Because Gonc doesn't want to face his witness's Di.
He wants to give evidence by video. WIMP!!!

Yeah Chris, I agree he is a wimp. Still the Portuguese legal system is just one big mystery, just because he wants to use a video link, is not a reason for postponing the trial. It seems to be one postponement after another, multiple appeals etc, and it seems to be like this for most things we hear about. Talk about bogging down the system. I thought our system was bad enough, but we have nothing on Portugal.
