The only points where the civil damages trial touches the criminal investigation is where the court tries to establish: 1. "Because of the statements made by defendant Gonçalo Amaral in the book, in the documentary and in the interview to Correio da Manhã, the Polícia Judiciária stopped collecting information and investigating the disappearance of Madeleine MacCann?" (not proved); 2. "The criminal inquiry was reopened due to the appearance of new evidence?" (not proved); 3. "Are the facts that are reported by defendant Gonçalo Amaral in the book and in the aforementioned interviews, like he himself writes and said, facts that were established during the inquiry?" and "Does the documentary only contain facts that are also in the inquiry files?" (both articles: It is proved that the facts in the book and in the documentary, concerning the investigation, are mostly facts that took place in the investigation and are documented as such); As far as we know, the only document from the criminal case files that has been appended to the civil trial is the Public Prosecutor's final dispatch that ordered the shelving of the investigation.
