The trial of lawyer Marcos Aragao Correia and of the university teacher Antonio Pedro Dores, over defamation of former PJ inspector Goncalo Amaral, within the case of Leonor Cipriano, which was to take place on Thursday, in Faro, has been postponed to the 29th of March.

 

Isabel Duarte, Marcos Aragao Correia’s lawyer, has told Lusa Agency that by a dispatch from Faro Judicial Court, the trial was postponed to the 29th of March, at 9.30 a.m.

 

Despite not having had Access to said dispatch yet, the lawyer said that she had been informed, by telephone, that the postponement was due to a pending appeal, which was filed by the other arguido in the process, Antonio Pedro Dores, the president of the Association Against Exclusion through Development, whose defence attorney is Jose Preto.

 

For the trial in Faro, Marcos Aragao Correia has called Antonio Marinho Pinto, presently the head of the Lawyers’ Order, and Ana Maria Calado, the former director of Odemira Prison, as defence witnesses.

 

Former Judiciary Police (PJ) inspector Goncalo Amaral – who investigated the disappearance of Joana, the daughter of arguida Leonor Ciprinao – has criminally sued Marcos Aragao Correia and Antonio Pedro Dores, because they publicly alluded to the alleged torture that Leonor Cipriano was a target of during the Joana case’s questioning stage.

 

Marcos Aragao Correia, lawyer to Leonor Cipriano, alleges that the Portuguese courts have already decided that it has been proved that His client was tortured, yet the Public Ministry (MP) continues to uphold the accusation in the defamation lawsuit that Goncalo Amaral has filed.

 

He further recalls that, within the alleged case of torture of Leonor Cipriano, Goncalo Amaral was condemned over the crime of false statement, to a one-and-a-half-year prison sentence, which was suspended over the same period of time.

 

The defendant of Marcos Aragao Correia in the defamation lawsuit is lawyer Isabel Duarte, who is equally the lawyer for Madeleine McCann’s parents, who has pending lawsuits against Goncalo Amaral.

 

The trial in Lisbon over the defamation lawsuit that has been filed by the parents of Madeleine McCann, the little girl that disappeared in the Algarve, in May 2007, which was equally scheduled for Thursday, has also been postponed, without a new date, according to lawyer Isabel Duarte’s indication to Lusa.

 

That process concerns Goncalo Amaral’s book, “Maddie: A verdade da mentira”.
