Gonçalo Amaral, the former leader of the investigation into the disappearance of Maddie, doesn't want to hear talk about the case that has put him on the brink of poverty. He is sick and barely has money to eat.

"At this point, I do not want to even hear about the case." This was the reaction of Gonçalo Amaral, former Inspector of the Judicial Police (PJ) and SIC commentator, when contacted by VIP to comment on the searches being done in the Algarve. And the reason is simple: the former investigating officer is facing serious financial difficulties, allegedly because of the Madeleine McCann case. Moreover, he suffers from a serious illness (diabetes in the ultimate degree) that has weakened him a lot.

The Truth of the Lie, the work that Gonçalo Amaral wrote recounting his version of the Maddie case, after he was removed from investigation, is allegedly the source of the difficult financial situation in which the former inspector currently finds himself.

In the book, Gonçalo Amaral argues that "the child Madeleine McCann died in the apartment in the Ocean Club, in Vila da Luz, on the night of May 3, 2007; there was a simulation of an abduction; Kate Healy and Gerald McCann are suspected of involvement in the concealment of the corpse of the daughter; death may have occurred as a result of a tragic accident; there is evidence of negligence in the custody and safety of the children. We are conscious of having given our best to solve the case. Our beliefs are based on professional experience, on facts and evidence collected and their interpretation in the light of the law."

These were statements that led the child's parents to sue the former inspector, freezing all his assets [as security against possible future payment of costs] and pushing him into the financial situation he has nowadays. The book was withdrawn from the market in 2009, in compliance with a court order, resulting from a proceeding brought by Madeleine McCann's parents. The British couple froze all his bank accounts, as well as both the movable and immovable property of the investigator, who was living on only his pension salary - which was also later frozen in part by the couple.

With the cut in his salary, and the expenses which result from the treatments his failing health requires him to take, Gonçalo Amaral, assured sources from the PJ, is broke: "He only survives thanks to the solidarity of colleagues and family."
