“… a scathing attack by Sir Richard Branson on the Portuguese media…‘The Portuguese press have behaved abysmally, fed inaccurate stories by the Portuguese police, which all turned out to be a load of garbage,’ he told The Observer” 30 Sept. 2007

Have you been told the Portuguese police did ‘nothing?

NOT TRUE!

View the files below… In 11 days more than 1,000 diligences had been carried out!Scroll down this page to see EXACTLY what was done in the PJ effort to search for Madeleine.

THOUSANDS of diligences!

Have you been told they didn’t follow up on sightings?

NOT TRUE!

Read the Apensos below with nearly 4,000 files detailing the followups to the sightings, keeping in mind also that if a sighting was in another country, the local police force followed up and reported back to PJ.

Have you been told they were slow to respond that night?

NOT TRUE!

Did you know that by 1am there were 13 officers attending the scene and many of them off duty or raised from their bed?

Have you seen Goncalo Amaral the coordinator of the investigation DISCREDITED?

Gonçalo Amaral’s role as the CO-ORDINATOR in the investigation was not to get up in the morning and go out alone to solve the case!

He was not only the coordinator of the Madeleine case, he coordinated the whole CID. His job was to coordinate the Criminal Investigation Department of the PJ’s Southern Directory. There were other cases, other investigations at the same time.

In the Madeleine investigation, as with Scotland Yard, there were several lines of investigation running simultaneously and approximately on the fifth day of searches there were approximately 180 Policia Judiciária, 60 GNR officers and approximately 20 civilian volunteers on the ground, investigating the case. He assigned their duties for the day and after they reported back to him he would relay the information back to his superiors in Faro and Lisbon.

At one point there were 250 officers on the ground.

Hundreds of ‘sightings’ came in from all over the world 24/7, and each one had to be dealt with and coordinated. The PJ had to decide what was worth checking out, and then relay it to Europol or Interpol if the sighting hadn’t taken place in Portugal. There were hundreds of people to question, ground searches to execute and coordinate with the appropriate country and their police force. .

None of them amounted to anything worthwhile, there was not one result from the hundreds of sighting, except that they served the purpose: to distract from the investigation and to reinforce the abduction theory

To portray Gonçalo Amaral, after his 28 successful years in the PJ, as incompetent, and to discuss as if he was solely responsible for the investigation is beyond comprehension.

VANITY FAIR: THURSDAY 10 JANUARY 2008

by Judy Bachrach WEB EXCLUSIVE January 10, 2008

‘In the months following the child’s disappearance, the supposed incompetence of the Portuguese police was the subject of many devastating articles in the press, with an attitude wryly summed up by the Scotland Yard detective as “Johnny Dago is not good enough to do it.” This was at the precise time that, as Gerry explains, “we were relying on the Portuguese to find Madeleine, and it was not helpful at all.” However, since the media were, without a doubt, fed in part by the McCann camp, it is hard to know whom to blame.

It wasn’t true, for instance, that there were no fingertip searches performed at the villa, as reported by one British tabloid, or that the shutters were contaminated in the investigation, as reported by another; two on-the-scene reporters claim that personnel in Portuguese C.S.I. uniforms were seen taking fingerprints from those shutters early on, and then dispatched them to the Instituto Nacional de Medicina Legal in Porto and Coimbra. Nor did police treat Madeleine’s disappearance lightly.

As Woolfall explains, when he arrived a day and a half after Madeleine had vanished: “There were lots of police, I have to say. There is a big emphasis placed on children and family in Portugal. There was no doubt there was a massive effort trying to find her. And you had Portuguese policemen canceling leave and working over weekends.”’
