Dr. Goncalo Amaral was the leading police officer of the initial 2007 investigation to the Maddie Case by [[policia_judiciaria_pj|PJ]].

See a Vita of Dr. Amaral at ->[[http://goncaloamaral.webs.com/gonaloamaral.htm|his Homepage]].

Gonçalo Amaral’s wrote his book **//[[the_truth_of_the_lie|‘The Truth of The Lie’]]//** (Portuguese titel: 'A Verdade Da Mentira') about the case, which was published in July 2008. 
Nearly a year later, the McCanns’ lawyers filed a libel suit in the Lisbon Court claiming that his book had damaged the search for Madeleine 
and had caused them immense emotional distress. They demanded 1 Million Pounds (1.2 million euros) compensation from him.
