MCCANN STATEMENTS LEAKED BY M3, NOT PJ!

Hi All

I though today I would have a look at how the latest McCann campaign (forgive me) is being played out.

Firstly, as the article below confirms the statements that were leaked of both Kate and Gerry McCann were actually those given to their private investigators, Metado 3. It has been categorically confirmed they were not police statements from the official investigation.

So, the reality is quite shocking. On the very same day the McCanns headed to Brussels they also cynically leaked statements themselves in an attempt to discredit the PJ so they would have an excuse to avoid the reconstruction they had been asked to attend as the PJ's were arriving in UK to further investigate their fellow conspirators.

Is this what they call desperately seeking Madeleine and co-operating with the Police? Just like the lie detector test, we hear how they will co-operate but when they get the chance to do so, they run a mile (next Easyjet flight please and an immediate home visit from a very expensive extradition lawyer). There is no question here of an innocent couple wanting to clear their name either, is there?

Emphasis is very much being placed on Kate in all the latest spin. Why could this be? Two thoughts spring to mind, the most obvious being if it is clearly put into the public domain that Kate herself is being treated harshly and unfairly by the PJ, it is calculated this is far more likely to engender public sympathy than Gerry McCann.

Dumb Clarence Mitchell, on behalf of the increasingly desperate Kate and Gerry seriously believes he has come up with another cunning plan. First, they leak a statement where Kate is openly admitting serious negligence, then we are told this is what she will be prosecuted for. Clarence must believe we are just a load of old sponges. When leaking the statement of course it opens up the way again for an "abduction" and of course the leaker, very conveniently located, in Spain, tells us this " proves they are innocent". In short more of what they have been trying to tell us from day one. Yes we neglected our children and that is why Madeleine got abducted..

It has probably been cynically accepted the public like Gerry less still. At the same time as the leaked statements, we were also told by "friends" how "emotionally fragile" Kate is. She is unwell, she in vulnerable, why are the wicked PJ just picking on her? This, I believe, is the impression they seek to give. The other possibility of course is that Gerry, ever the manipulator, seeks to distance himself still further from accepting any personal responsibility.

Kate joins this circus and allows herself to be used, is she really so weak and fragile? Why does she not just do the decent thing, go to the police and tell the truth? Does she really care what the public think about her? It would seem not, the only thing she cares about is trying to avoid prosecution.

Continuing with the let's get sympathy for Kate theme, in the most lying rag, I think that graces the Sunday press in UK, and featured on Rosie's blog, although just for a change admitting it came from "The People", (because he/she has learned I would point that out!) on Sunday 20 April, tell us the perverse tale that PJ have no evidence to proceed with more serious charges and are therefore set to prosecute Kate, alone, for child neglect/abandonment (we lost but we will get them for something).

Not only is it too late for the PJ to prosecute her for this, there being a 6 month period when they must bring charges, and let's face it, they were not lacking in evidence, why on earth would they just prosecute Kate? From a legal point of view this is utterly perverse, both parents took the decision to keep walking out the door and leaving those children. Then of course, what of the remaining TAPAS who did just the same? The truth is from a legal point of view, the PJ had to investigate the whole case and then bring appropriate charges at the end of that process. There is no way, in law, they could have just prosecuted them for negligence and then proceeded to prosecute again for something far more serious arising from that negligence e.g. sedating their children so they could go out and leave them. If that is what happened, that is not neglect it is manslaughter or maybe even murder.

This same story, that Kate is to be prosecuted for neglect/child endangerment is then repeated in 24 Horas, a Portuguese newspaper, but one, as I have often reported clearly linked to American media, and often printing the rubbish that Clarence Mitchell gives them to print, in fairness, among other things.

What utter rubbish! Madeleine was not just neglected, she died, the parents are responsible for that and wickedly disposing of her body and that is what they are being investigated for and what they will be charged with. Quite posssibly also, very serious fraud.

I am sure we all recall, Detective Superintendent Prior of Leicestershire Police actually specialises in fraud. What is more, within about 10 days of Madeleine going missing the UK Serious Organised Crime Agency were called in by Portuguese Police to assist in the investigation. Senior UK detectives also immediately flew out to Portugal and have been involved ever since.

So much for Portugal, apparently, not asking for help! They have always wanted our help, and it has always been given. That is only natural when it is two British subjects, not without considerable means and intellect who even at that early stage it was obviously quite apparent, may well be involved in the disappearance of their own little child.

Remember the ridiculous lies they immediately told to the two Portuguese GNR officers who were first at the scene. They were utterly bemused to be told that a "predator" (pick the most sinister sounding word Gerry) had damaged the shutters, jemmied the window and stolen Madeleine. The reasons for their bemusement being quite obvious, absolutely no evidence whatsoever of any such break in. Silly Gerry had been glued to his mobile for two hours, telling all his friends and family just the same thing and of course Philomena gave Sky News a scoop for which they have always demonstrated their gratitude.

It is high time Kate and Gerry McCann stopped their sickening campaign and faced the reality of their situation. Sensible people the world over are not convinced by their self-serving propaganda or the "evidence" of their friends.

Jane Tanner, has simply made herself a laughing stock with her constanly changing bizarre tales. Initially describing a man of the same age, height and build and even clothing of Gerry McCann himself. Very interesting indeed. We have seen the pic of Gerry sitting on a sofa giving one of their many interviews wearing that dark jacket and beige trousers, but of course in later accounts he not only changed direction to head directly for Robert Murat's villa, he later even developed a face and grew long hair, he became a bizarre looking swarthy Moroccan with huge teeth, but immediately after the event, she could not put a face to this mystery predator. You could not make this stuff up unless your name was Jane Tanner and someone was pulling your strings who maybe knew some witness spotted him.

As we were recently reliably told from Portugal, justice will soon bring its results, no matter who it hurts.

We know that and I would just say one thing to Clarence Mitchell, Kate and Gerry McCann, they gave you the rope, you used it. We find your conduct repulsive. If PJ do actually sue Clarence Mitchell, it just serves him right and the Daily Mail too, who ran the most sickening story, also on Sunday 20 April.

Finally, it has been reported Robert Murat may get about £2M in libel damages from UK press who have joined the sickening campaign against him and the Portuguese Police. Good luck to you Robert and decent people in the UK understand what you have been through and think you deserve every penny. If the press want to print false propaganda then there is clearly a price to pay for that.

PJ of Portimão takes legal action against McCann’s spokesmanControversy: Kate's statement to detectivesThe declarations of Kate McCann remembering a conversation with her daughter Maddie, on the day in which she disappeared, on the fact that in the previous night Kate left the girl crying in the bedroom are not in the official process secured by the Judiciary Police, established the CM. They were reproduced by the Spanish TV channel Telecinco, the journalist Nacho Abad says to have proofs that they are true - but in fact, they are accounts given by Kate to private detectives.The process continues in secrecy of justice, but, 'on the day that the process is opened to the public, it will be easy to prove that those declarations are not there ', said a source close to the investigations. Therefore, this leak of information could never have appeared from inside the Judiciary Police.'On the day in which this situation is clarified accurately ', Clarence Mitchell will be the target of a process for the damages caused against the image of the elements of the Department of Criminal Investigation of Portimão, after they had been 'unfairly accused' by the McCann’s spokesman of passing informations that are part of the process to the Media.Besides, the British police also know that Kate's declarations, about her difficult relationship with the daughter, are not in the process. When the Spanish TV channel reproduced them a PJ’s team was in Leicester, in the period in which the McCann’s friends were heard, and the English authorities confirmed to be Kate's account to the private investigators. It is a company that worked for the couple before the Metódo3 agency and, in the end, they printed a report where these sentences are in. According to our sources, only three parts kept copies of these documents: the company, the McCanns and the British authorities.The problems with the international press do not end here, yesterday, it was the Telegraph turn to advance 'declarations' from Guilhermino Encarnação, where after a meeting with the Public Prosecutor, he would have said that ‘The investigation will bring its results, whoever they hurt', a source close to the responsible of the Faro's PJ guarantees to the CM that none of this is true.DETAILSASFIC SUPPORTS PROCESSContacted by the 'CM', the president of the Criminal Investigation Officers' Union, Carlos Anjos, guarantees to be available for the whole legal support that the investigators of Portimão need if they understand to sue the McCann’s spokesman Clarence Mitchell, McCann, for damages against the image of the department.RE-ENACTMENTCarlos Anjos believes that the controversy created around Kate's declarations, with accusations to the PJ for the eventual leak of information which damages the couple credibility, 'is nothing more than a stratagem in order that they do not have to collaborate with the Portuguese justice'. In question there is a re-enactment of the crime, requested by the PJ but that, according to the couple’s spokesman, will only happen if they stop being arguidos.Source: Correio da Manhã

We say it makes my blood boil...

See you later xxx

Anything that is bad for me I want to eat LOL xxx

Niki said...

Evening all!

I am sure that I read somewhere (think it was DE) that MW actually had the listening-service as a service in their program and that it was changed immideatly after the 3.May. Someone had printed the
page from the program.
It was stated though, that MW never worked the listening-service in PDL because it was a too wide area, and the whole complex a "part" of the village, not a closed holiday-village.
The McCanns could therefor get a reduction because of misleading information.
Anyway...With one and a half braincell, you would not make your own "listening-service" after getting the reduction for a non-existing service that was not safe!!!

Hope! I had my bikini on today, and I'm pink as a lobster:(( Can't sit:( Eat some more chocolate and keep your clothes on:))

Atardi, Holland is a liberate country, but I had no idea they sell "pot" at the garden-centers!!!!LOL

Niki

I am off to clean my kitchen then I start reading and dont go LOL...

Good advice re the Bikini I will go and have a biscuit...

Hope you had a good Easter...

Right I am now going will see you later my kitchen wont clean itself xxxx

SwedishMum said...

Yes Atardi,
I echo your "come on". I have to say one thing for K&G McCann though, they don't do much to improve their image. They seem to be brutally honest about what their priorities are - no matter how they appear themselves. Or perhaps they just aren't aware of how others interpret what they say.

I have to go now, my family isn't too pleased right now. May check in later.

Have a nice evening all!

atardi said...

LGC,

I got it. I always thought that "No stone unturned" was a thriller.

Thank you.

Did he took to PDL or did he buy it when he was in Washington?

SwedishMum said...

Hope,

Have an extra cookie for comfort. Because you're worth it!

Kate McCann 'would have used nanny service' for Madeleine
By Nick Britten
Last Updated: 7:43pm BST 23/04/2008



Kate McCann broke down in tears in a television documentary as she spoke of the night Madeleine went missing and her decision to leave her daughter alone because there were no baby listening services at the resort.

All the news on the hunt for Madeleine McCann
Mrs McCann, 40, gave a rare insight into the thought process that led her and her husband, Gerry, to leave their three children alone in their Mark Warner holiday apartment while they had dinner nearby, checking on them every half an hour.


Kate McCann felt regular parental checks would be enough
Although Mark Warner offered a listening service at its other complexes - where a nanny tours the rooms ever half an hour and listens for crying children - they have never offered it at the Ocean Club complex in Praia da Luz.

In an ITV documentary to be broadcast next week, Mrs McCann is understood to say that they would have used a baby listening service had one been available, but because there wasn't they decided instead to leave Madeleine and their twins, Sean and Amelie, and make regular checks.

The McCanns have previously used Mark Warner resorts where baby listening services were available.

In the aftermath of Madeleine's disappearance, on May 3 last year, her husband, Gerry, said they felt regular parental checks provided the same service, adding: "I would argue that what we were doing was actually more rigorous than that with multiple people from the group checking the apartments at staggered times.

"Obviously we were going into the apartment at regular intervals."

Clarence Mitchell, the couple's spokesman, said Mrs McCann was in no way being critical of Mark Warner.

He said: "I wish to make it clear that Kate McCann does not attack Mark Warner for the absence of a baby listening service at the Ocean Club in the forthcoming ITV documentary.

advertisement"For the record, she makes a brief factual reference to the absence of such a service in passing.

"In no way does she criticise Mark Warner or any of the company's services."

A spokesman for Mark Warner said the McCanns, from Rothley, Leics, knew before they booked to go to Praia da Luz that no listening service was available.

However, the company did have on offer an evening creche and baby sitting facilities.

The holiday firm withdrew its baby listening services at all its complexes last October over confusion about the level of security they provide.

A spokesman said: "All the nannies would do is listen at the door and then, if it was quiet, move on.

"There was a perception from customers that by booking baby listening it provided total security and their children would never be at risk, when we could never guarantee that."

Sources close to the ITV documentary, which is screened next week, said Mrs McCann broke down in tears on a number of occasions during filming.

One said: "It clearly shows her as a caring mother who misses her daughter very much. This is a woman grieving and is clearly more emotional than she has ever been."

An ITV film crew followed the couple for almost two months as they campaigned for a new alert system to be implemented in Europe when a child goes missing.

Meanwhile, it emerged that the police officer who led the investigation to find Madeleine is to leave the police force.

Goncalo Amaral, 48, is retiring less than a year after being removed from the inquiry.

He is facing a trial for allegedly covering up police brutality towards a woman later convicted of killing her young daughter.

Viv and everyone -

Just in case you didn't know, Radio 4 are interviewing the McCanns tomorrow night at 8.00pm or 9.00pm my time here in Spain, so I shall be listening to that to see what they have to say - let's hope they manage to speak for themselves and don't use their puppet CM!

The announcer said that they would be having a witness with them who was actually there on the night Madeleine went missing!! They didn't say who it was, but it sounds as if he/she is new on the scene, so we'll have to wait and find out. Strange that he or she hasn't come forward before eh! But then the McCanns and CM do have a habit of suddenly pulling something else out of the bag!

I'm off for the night now as I'm going to watch Man U and Barcelona.

So goodnight friends and see you tomorrow - have a safe and enjoyable evening!

Nancy xx

bath theory said...

Atardi, surely the point about Kate being fragile etc is this...

She is alive and able to feel different emotions whether it be fragile or whatever. Madeleine her daughter a 3yr old has vanished all because Kate wanted to feel'happy' and 'free' and Kate's need just had to come first.

At least she is alive now to feel fragile !!

Niki

I remember reading somewhere, that MW had let the Tapas know, with their booking information, that the listening service was not available for their apartments as they were outside the area. It was also stated that they could have babysitting at £10 or use the creche during the evening.

I wonder, Jane Tanner was said to be the only one to use a baby monitor, do you think all the children were put in one apartment, after Mrs Fenn complained about the crying, and smoething went terribly wrong.

bath theory said...

Niki, May I ask what country was warm enough today for you to be able to wear a bikini ?

bath theory said...

Di, Weren't the McCann's in an apartment owned by a cousin and therefore did not go through MW for the booking? I would like to know who the organiser of that whole trip was? and who Ruth McCann the owner really is?

atardi said...

Di/Niki,

The "pot" thing started I think 2 months ago when Hope4truth went to a garden-center to buy a pot for a tree.

She received comments from the Pro side stating that she smoked pot.

bath theory said...

I say this cos I am sure I read somewhere early on that the McCann's decide at the last minute to join the group. I may be imagining this but it is my memory on this point.

bath theory said...

And Niki I ask about the warmth cos even though it is spring I have been freezing cold today and wet from the rain. ie The idea of beaches and bikini's is just a dreamy vision.

nancy said...

Isis -

Thisis one final blog to comment on the article you just posted.

Gerry said:

"I would argue that what we were doing was actually more rigorous than that which multiple people from the group checking the apartments at staggered times were"

This man is beyond belief - why can't he ever say something in plain English, and at the same time add something like:

"But of course we realise we were very wrong to leave our children alone and we would advise all parents never to leave their children alone on holiday"

He is a wierdo - and he shows it every time he opens his mouth! I can just imagine him reading a book called 'No stone unturned'!! Obviously that's where he got the title with which to head his campaign - if that isn't something stranger than fiction I don't know what is!!

Hasta manana amigas y amigos!!

If Gina comes on tonight - I hope you are feeling much better today!

Niki said...

Hi Di! After reading the above article from Isis, I understand that either the page printed from a MW holiday-resort was from a different one than PDL, or I have been dreaming...

Payne was said to be the only one using a baby monitor according to McCannfiles.com. Tanner/O'Brian are child-neglecters of worst sort! They left a vomiting child alone!
I have been thinking that the twins might have been in one of the other appartments the 3.May to keep the coast clear for the "abduction-scenario". One of the nannys said that the twins were moved before she entered 5A.

atardi said...

bath theory,

Your post at 20.00 made me shiver.

It brought me back to Kate's click of the tongue.

It's time Kate and Gerry stop making silly documentaries, silly Christmas videos, silly interviews.

It's time to stand up and say "We and no one else are responsible for the disappearance of Madeleine".

I'm off for a while.

Cláudia said...

*Soon, very soon the world will know the "Truth about the Lie" and "we will gain truth and justice for a little girl who has no voice", dead on the evening of May 3rd at apartment 5A, Ocean Club, Praia da Luz, Algarve, Portugal"*

Best regards,
Gonçalo Amaral

The tsunami I've been talking about.

Hello, everybody.

Niki said...

Bath theory,

I'm in Greece and we have easter-holidays now!:)

Atardi, you said:

It's time to stand up and say "We and no one else are responsible for the disappearance of Madeleine".

AMEN!

I'm off too, can't sit any longer....
Good night:)

ta ra said...

Boa Noite Portugal, our oldest ally, y Good Evening England (Goedevond Atardi and Slan Isis).

Just a thought. If we now accept that the McCanns have expensive advisers intent on manipulating public opinion, then the following may be of some interest to us.

The McCanns and their advisers can dismiss blogs now because they know they have lost the battle, but they may still hope to sway wider public opinion. IMO, they are failing there too.

Anywhere that discusses poor little Madeleine's fate now receives very negative comment regarding the motives and methods of all the adults in Portugal with her parents when she went 'missing'.

The latest McCann charm offensive of an ITV documentary due to be aired soon has backfired already - even before it is aired!

Just one comment from a 'blokey bloke' of my acquaintance who said months ago that he wanted Madeleine to be found or someone to be charged, and he had no interest in this story until that happened.

Tonight, he said: 'So they (the McCanns) knew there was no baby listening service, and they still left their children alone at night? They should have taken more care to be with them, not less. Not just going out with their friends, and checking on the children. They should have been with them or paid for a baby sitter.'

Clarence: you second rate appratchik. How could you allow your clients to get into this mess?

Kate and Gerry: get better advice.

Also: I warned McCann supporters on the DE last year not to imply that Mark Warner was in any way culpable for what happened to Maddie. That is libel.

Last week, Clarence was foolishly quoted in the Daily Fail as suggesting that the McCanns checks on the children were 'better than the baby listening service'.

There was no baby listening service at the Mark Warner resort in PDL. Again, Clarence: are you arrogant or ignorant? Or are you just a bullying chancer, hoping polite companies and people won't call your bluff?

Whatever your answer, you're busted. McCanns: you're next. Tsk. Arrogance is expensive, and you had better options, like the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.

Count your pennies, Clarence and McCanns. You are going to need every one of them.

BTW: hello Darling posters! Just had to get that out of my system :-)

Leigh, my friend, good things come to those who wait.
The tsunami, my friend. Remember? It's coming! :-)

ta ra said...

Hello Claudia,

The tsunami has the power of Mr Amaral, and Portugal, the UKs oldest ally.

Whatever it takes, however long it takes, 'whoever it hurts'.

Justice for Madeleine Beth McCann, dead aged 3, the beloved sister of twins, aged 2 - all left alone, night after night while Mum and Dad were at the bar with their holiday pals - pals who also left their defenceless babies asleep in foreign apartments.

Even if there had been a MW baby listening service in place in PDL it would not have prevented the so called abduction. GM has stated that the Tapas checks were more frequent than the baby listening service would have offered anyway. Just like if there was an Amber Alert system in place, the police were not called for supposedly 40 mins after the discovery that M was missing, a mile a minute in abduction. When the police arrived on scene they supposedly said she had not been taken as there was no sign of a break-in. What would have prevented the disappearance is adult supervision of 3 children aged 3 years and under ie no neglect the catalyst as to the situation M may find herself in, IMHO.

Cláudia said...

Grandma Leigh, I can't wait! :-)

Goodness me guys, just got back and started reading from where I was this afternoon. If this message from Goncalo is genuine, it is absolutely dynamite and devastating for the McCanns. Does anyone know if it is definitely for real?

If he has been forced to retire it is very sad, once again, I have to say, he sounds to me like the most lovely man, very devoted to his duty and the cause of victims who he served. He is yet another victim and one deserving compensation and I wish him a big top up to his retirement fund x

We will always support you Goncalo!! Love from the UK,Portugal, Australia, Sweden, Denmark, Greece, Spain and other nationalities who contribute to this blog which is international in its support of you and what you worked so hard to achieve xxxx

Message from Gonçalo Amaral

As you can understand, I can't do any comment about the investigation on the "McCann Case"... (I have omitted the next part, in the interests of privacy but this did not in any way compromise the judicial secrecy laws)

Looking towards my freedom of speech, I asked for my retirement last month. All the insults, false accusations and lie's from the past year are now being brought to court from my lawyers (the very last one is from Daily Mail, yesterday).

I would like to say thank you to the thousands of persons that every day, for the last year, are supporting me all over the world. I would like to answer all the phone calls, emails and letters, but is not possible...there are so many! As you can imagine, most of the days are not that easy, and these messages have been a great support not only for me, but also for my family. Once again, thank you all!

You're allowed do display this message on you site, and I thank you for that. One last thing:

*Soon, very soon the world will know the "Truth about the Lie" and "we will gain truth and justice for a little girl who has no voice", dead on the evening of May 3rd at apartment 5A, Ocean Club, Praia da Luz, Algarve, Portugal"*

Best regards,
Gonçalo Amaral

Cláudia said...

Viv, I can GUARANTEE you it is ABSOLUTELY genuine, my dear, dear friend! :-)

Cláudia said...

Oh, and Viv, he wasn't forced to resign at all.
I'll e-mail you in a few minutes.

Unknown said...

Hiya Claudia

It is simply wonderful and I think the tsunami is sending in those first big waves already xxx


I always had a feeling Goncalo would prove to the world he was right!

Luv Viv x

Cláudia said...

Viv, you got mail! :-)

bath theory said...

How many times must a man turn his head and pretend that he just does not see....

It seems we are reaching a point where the asnwer is no longer blowin' in the wind. Fantastic.

Viv & Claudia. When I read it on McCann files I smiled a smile that used my eyes as well.

Unknown said...

Hiya Baththeory

It is true to say, Claudia and I are ecstatic:-)

Viv x

ta ra said...

Bath Theory...

I agree: 'fantastic'. Enough to restore one's faith in honest inquiry perhaps, whatever it takes :-)

Calm, channelled - as you used to advise on the DE.

Cláudia said...

Bath Theory, :-)
I've been waiting all this time. All I could say was it was a tsunami. And now, here it is! :-)

ta ra said...

Zodiac.
I agree with you, as usual :-)

Cláudia said...

As I sai, justice may not be done in the way we expect. But some people are willing to risk a lot so the world knows.

Does this make sense to all of you now? :-)

Viv, e-mail again.

Unknown said...

Guys, Goncalo's message just has to be the subject of a new thread:-)

Ana said...

Evening everyone,
Like I said before, we will know soon the all true and nothing more than the truth in the next days maybe week or so, no matter who it hurts...I had had a dream!:)
Gonçalo Amaral had resigned, but only because he was tired, he has served PJ for 38 years and he is tired for all the lies that have been said about him and his family, including the lies on DM´s articles and he will take actions about that...

Cláudia said...

Ana, agree with everything you said. But he hasn't worked for the PJ for 38 years. He would have started at ten! He's only 48. :-)

Cláudia said...

Oh, and he didn't resign. He retired! :-)

ta ra said...

Yes, Viv. Go for it. It's the world weird web, and as Claudia says, the truth comes out in ways we may not expect.

This is the 21st Century. Power to the people, I think. Power to honest inquiry pursued by honest, albeit flawed people.

'Every Saint has a past; every sinner has a future.'

I believe in redemption. I believe in honest inquiry, and for that, you sometimes have to get your hands dirty because you deal with dirty deeds committed by soiled souls.

The trick is: look up. Remember the qualities of service for the public good, and rise above the dirty deeds done by those only serving their private good...and doing bad because of it.

Go for it, Viv. Our oldest ally needs us now, just as we need them.

Ana said...

Well Cláudia, I will read de JN´s article again :)

ta ra said...

Dear Ana,
It only takes one good man or woman to stand up, and speak the truth. I know you agree. I've read you for quite a while now :-)

As you say, this will still take quite a time to reveal the truth.

Ho hum. I guess we'll wait, and be happy for the wait.

Cláudia said...

Ana, JN got it wrong! ;-) They mention 38 years! :-)

Ana said...

Cláudia darling,just read it again and yes is more than 38 years on service,and yes he retired...
Here the link

Cláudia said...

Ana, believe me, he is 48. JN got it wrong.

Ana said...

If he has 48,he must had starded at 18...

Ana said...

I meant Started not starded...Lolol

Cláudia said...

Exactly, Ana. He has 30 years, more or less, of work in the PJ. Enough to retire.

Ana said...

Cláudia,
Lol

ratonthebeam said...

I thought it was a lovely message. It spoke volumes, and showed him to be a true gentleman! :-)

Cláudia said...

Ana, JN got everything right except the number of years he worked as a PJ. :-) The guy is very smart but he did not start at ten! ;-)

Unknown said...

Hiya Claudia

It is the same here in UK police officers can retire early on full pension when they have served 30 years. It is a tough job and that is long enough for anyone!

Emailed you back and put new thread on, in honour of Goncalo and Madeleine x

Luv Viv x

Cláudia said...

Rat, he is a gentleman indeed. :-)

Guys, there is a new thread in Gonçalo's honour! :-)

Cláudia said...

Thank you, Viv.
He deserves it. :-)

Ana said...

Leight
Exactly,Yes we must wait and IMO, it will be worth the waiting.. :)

Unknown said...

Hiya darlings

Yes, Goncalo certainly does deserve to be honoured, he had the decency to stand up for what was right, decent, lawful and make these two Arguidos, for Madeleine and for all abused little children. He represents defenceless little children, not abusive parents like Kate and Gerry McCann or anything they choose to throw at him x For that we will always honour him.

Luv ~Viv xxxxxxx
