Let's have a look at what Robert Murat has to say, being the first victim of the McCann spin -


05 March 2010
Robert Murat continues to receive death threats and has lost the sense of life Público
His life has been "shattered". He wanted to help, he alleges, but ended up as an arguido. Now he tries to find a direction. But that night in 2007 continues to persecute him.

Robert Murat, three years after Maddie's disappearance, in Praia da Luz, still has his life "shattered" because he was "at the wrong place, at the wrong time".
The first suspect of being involved in the child's disappearance was this English man, aged 36, for whom being made arguido earned him a condemnation from public opinion that he never freed himself from. In an interview to Público, the first one that he gives to a member of the media since the English child's disappearance, leaves a question in the air that robs him of his sleep until this day: "Three of the McCanns' friends were at the PJ, saying that they had seen me there, that night [May 3, 2007]. What I ask is why did they lie?".

Why did they lie? Or are we still claiming everyone else is lying except the Tapas?

:banghead:

no one who actually knew murat and was there that night and that includes all the police officers who knew him as he worked as a translator for them, said he was there that night

The only people apart from the tapas lot who said he was were a couple of questionable witnesses, you know, the kind that have memory revelations a year or two later

I think the tapas mob were either lying or confused with the next morning when he was there

Murat has now come out of the shadows to make a counter accusation of his own - which is that they were lying.

As he is the victim in this baseless accusation and has actually lodged two criminal complaints about it, I tend to believe him, especially as the lead investigator also says they were lying...as did the GNR officers and the rest of the PJ and the British Police and the dogs.
