THE disgraced ex-cop kicked off the Madeleine McCann probe is still advising officers on the case, it is claimed.

Goncalo Amaral, 57, who botched the initial stages, wants former colleagues to question Maddie’s parents again.

Disgraced ex-cop Goncalo Amaral is still advising officers on the Madeleine McCann case
A source said: “He is still a respected face in the Portuguese police community.

“He continues to meet with pals who are part of the Portuguese side of the investigation.

“He boasts that he knows the case inside out and that it would be foolish not to listen to his advice.

Top cop Pedro do Carmo said earlier this month that Kate and Gerry, of Rothley, Leics, were not suspects.

The deputy director of the country’s judicial police declared: “The parents are not suspects. Full stop.”
Scotland Yard have also ruled out the McCanns as suspects in their daughter’s disappearance.

He has also called for Maddie’s parents to be interviewed again
Assistant Commissioner Mark Rowley said: “That was dealt with at the time by the original investigation by the Portuguese.
“We’re happy that’s completely dealt with and there is no reason whatsoever to reopen that or start rumours that’s a line of investigation.”

Their daughter was three when she vanished from their holiday flat in Praia da Luz, the Algarve, in May 2007.

Thanks Bluebell and WUD

If you take away the adjective "disgraced" and if you replace the phrase "botched the investigation" with "led the investigation" it's actually quite an interesting article as it shows Amaral hasn't gone away and is still respected and valued by his peers. I think the tabloids are still using the hackneyed phrases because they are hedging their bets but on the plus side that's cold comfort for the McCanns when Amaral is not someone they would want to be seen as back on the scene in advisory  capacity. So I'd say a bit of both Bampots!

Strange and incoherent article.

"Kate and Gerry McCann recently spoke on the tenth anniversary of Madeleine’s death (Picture:Joe Giddens/PA Wire)"

""Goncalo Amaral has been locked in a legal battle with Kate and Gerry McCann over unfounded claims made in his book ‘The Truth of a Lie’ which was later banned."

Good points Chatelaine.   Is this what they call 'creative license' ? (May otherwise be understood as fiction )

Why would it have been updated to add that line in?
