My opinion – GA put a lot of effort into trashing the German investigation into MM disappearance. I am sure he must have had his reasons for doing so although I cannot think of even one good reason why he should attempt do that.RSBM
GA has a theory about what happened that night. He has made public statements about it. As the lead detective on the case he likely knows more about it than us.
Similarly, HCW has a theory about the case. He has also made statements about his theory. Again, he may know more about it than us.
Neither theory has ever been tested in court. These situations are very similar except GA has gone on the record to explain his theory.
What I find hard to understand is why GA is vilified and HCW blindly trusted in very similar scenarios, especially when we fully understand GA’s theory but are completely ignorant of HCW’s.
Only time will tell the outcome but it is feasible that HCW could end up in the same position as GA.
He broke confidentiality of the investigation when he made sure the media knew what and who the German investigators were pursuing. He was so beside himself with destructive determination to destroy the confidentiality of the case it is almost palpable.
Former Madeleine McCann policeman says wrong paedophile linked with her disappearance
Former Portuguese police chief Goncalo Amaral previously claimed a German paedophile is the prime suspect - but says speculation he was referring to strangler Martin Ney is wrong_____________________________________________________________
Now GA, the original lead investigator in the McCann case, has fuelled new speculation about his identity by telling a Spanish TV programme: “A paedophile who is German and serving life for killing children has been spoken about.
“What I know is that the suspect is not him, it’s another man. He’s also in prison in Germany. He’s also a paedophile.

“Years later, many years later, it appears that in an Internet chatroom there is a conversation between that person and another person where they talk about Madeleine.”
He responded: “It can’t be him” when he was shown a photo of Ney.
Martin Ney’s name emerged after Mr Amaral told the podcast: “They are preparing the end of the investigation, with a German paedophile who is in prison right now.
“I don’t know how they will start it, but that will be the big ending, if it ends.”

He did not identify the mystery German at the time, although Correio da Manha went on to claim Ney was not the suspect.
The 49-year-old was jailed for life in 2012 for abducting and murdering three children between 1992 and 2001.

Police in the UK and Portugal, who are leading separate investigations into Madeleine’s May 3 2007 disappearance from the Algarve holiday resort of Praia da Luz, declined to comment on Portuguese reports earlier this year that investigators had a “new lead and a new suspect.”
The Policia Judiciaria said in a statement released in May: “The investigation into the disappearance of an English child in Praia da Luz in 2007, remains open within the framework of an investigation supervised by Portimao’s Public Ministry.

GA broke the story of CB with malice aforethought once the genie was out of the bottle it would stay out and the investigators were stuck with a situation not of their making but entirely at the instigation of GA.
