Regarding Amaral, do you think there is a possibility that he could be the victim of a smear campaign?
Cheers Roch.
I have read it and brought this little bit from it:
"The latest Scotland Yard squad is apparently working on the theory that Madeleine was abducted by burglars who were also involved in drug trafficking. Mr Amaral said the same theory was put forward by a Yard detective seconded to his team seven years ago.
“It was discussed and completely set aside because it made no sense,” he said. “Nobody has proved the house was broken into, that there was a theft, there are no traces of a break-in. No money, cameras or anything else was taken.”
Amaral is correct it was discussed at the onset. But, the PJ did not follow up on the possibility that it could have been a burglar that had taken Madeleine in order to sell her. OK nothing was missing, passport, money etc. Except a child went missing and when Amaral was told this, he stayed in the restaurant and finished his dinner and turned up at the scene the following morning.
I think if MI5 did meet the dog handlers then NSY would have this information already, but it might be that the public are not to be told.
To be fair I don't dislike Amaral, but at the end of the day he is using the MM case to fuel further book sales. Its all PA stuff to me.
