A Message from Gonçalo Amaral





Dear Friends,

The civil suit that was filed against me by the McCann couple is in its final stages, and the decision concerning material facts, which to me seems rather favourable, is already known. A period for legal allegations ensues, after which we will await the verdict, which I envision will translate into my longed for acquittal and the consequent lifting of the attachments that have caused me such extensive financial difficulties over the past five years. This means that it has been only due to your help that I have been able to financially sustain the ongoing lawsuit, which nonetheless cannot be said about my increasingly strangled personal life.

I say strangled because in reality I am experiencing a very serious crisis on an emotional as well as a financial level. This is due to those who have tried to asphyxiate me financially, wishing for my civil death and wanting to place me in a position where I would be unable to react judicially. After five years (counted since the civil suit was filed) the parents of the child that mysteriously disappeared on the 3rd of May of 2007 in the Algarve were not able to fully achieve what they intended. I am alive, I'm able to financially sustain the civil suit, although not much more than that...

Concerning my emotional crisis, I ask you to understand that for me, this whole struggle is not only about the fundamental discovery of the truth, because no matter how optimistic I may be, I can never forget the demand for damages amounting to 1.200.000 Euro that was filed by the couple, which, if absurdly it would be granted, will completely destroy me on all levels.

To all of you, thank you very much.


Gonçalo Amaral

    I thank God for people like you who do the honorable things for the right reasons no matter what the cost . May the Truth of the Lies come out and the people responsible be brought to justice. I cannot believe the amount of lies and story changes since this whole escapade began and still people believe them . I pray for Justice for you and for that poor child. And if you decide to counter sue them for damages then know that there are many many many people behind you .

    When Sr Amaral is exonerated, as justice demands he will be, certain people MUST be made to answer for the indefensible and scandalous depths to which they have sunk in their attempts to discredit and destroy an honorable police officer whose only crime was to do his duty...

      I agree wholeheartedly,we can support him financially as much as we can,but to have the emotional stress that this has brought on this honourable man in my opinion is evil.Evil against Madeleine & evil against Goncalo Amaral & others.

  34. There can only be one verdict after that embarrassingly cobbled together case the McCanns had years to prepare for yet failed miseraby to prove.

    They must have thought they could wing it; so typical of them and their absurd arrogance.

    The eyes of the world are watching and waiting for justice for you at long last.

    None of this should ever have been allowed to happen. The McCann's should be jailed for vexatious litigation. I hope laws will be changed so this can never happen again. Snr Amaral, you have more people on your side than you can count, that's what is important here, not money or lies. We know you are a decent, honourable man and you can hold your head high always. Good luck for the verdict, I will be celebrating alongside you.
