Portuguese Detective Gonçalo Amaral Heading Madeleine McCann Case Is Sacked

Reportedly the Portuguese detective Gonçalo Amaral who was heading the search for Madeleine McCann has been sacked after accusing her parents of manipulating the British police.

Sky sources have said that Gonçalo Amaral had been relieved of his duties as head of the regional Policia Judiciaria (PJ) in Portimao and that he also ceases to head the investigation into Madeleine’s disappearance.

Earlier, Mr Amaral accused Kate and Gerry McCann of calling the shots by identifying the lines of inquiry Leicestershire Police should take.

Mr Amaral said that British officers had overlooked the fact that the couple remain suspects. And he accused the McCanns of releasing new information each day to try to distract and confuse the inquiry. He said that “The British police have only worked on what the McCann couple want them to work on and what suits them.”

Mr Amaral went on to say that “This situation has no credibility whatsoever for the Portuguese police. British police have investigated tips and information worked on by the McCanns, forgetting that the couple are suspected of causing the death of their daughter Madeleine.

What do you think have the McCann’s been manipulating the British police?

At the end of the day all everyone wants and I am sure that you do is that Madeleine is found.
