Tony Bennett Today at 9:22 am
Last night the following statement was put out by the 'Citizens for the Defence of Rights and Freedoms: Project Justice Goncalo Amaral' on their 'pjga' website:
++++++++++
As of 12 June 2010 no donations made by Mr. Anthony Bennett or by the «Madeleine Foundation» had arrived to the ‘[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]’ PayPal account or Bank Solidarity account.
Whatever [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.], and[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] proposals (click on the left image to read) are not supported in any way by the ‘Citizens for the Defence of Rights and Freedoms - Project Justice Gonçalo Amaral’ nor by Mr. Gonçalo Amaral.
The unauthorized use of the [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] by the «Madeleine Foundation» and/or by Mr. Bennett as if that organization and/or individual partakes with the ‘Citizens for the Defence of Rights and Freedoms - Project Justice Gonçalo Amaral’ is undesirable and unwanted.
++++++++++
In response, The Madeleine Foundation wishes to make the following brief statements:
1. We had been in correspondence with Mr Amaral about our intention to make a donation direct to him. On 5 June we sent him an International Money Order for 578.35 euros, that is, £500.00 at the current rate of exchange. This was sent by AirSure i.e. by registered post. In view of the letter from Mr Amaral below, we will now arrange for that sum to be sent via the PayPal donation button on the PJGA site.
2. In response, we received by e-mail, sent at 13.54 on Friday 11 June, the letter below - direct from Mr Amaral. We had not intended to release a copy of his letter, as correspondence between him and us is confidential. However, for the written record and to clarify matters, we now do so:
Dear Mr Bennett,
Thank you very much for your continued interest in the cause of Justice.
Nonetheless, I do not wish to accept any finantial support myself, which I am sure you will understand.
I would suggest that any donations that you wish to make to help sustain legal assistance, are directed towards the solidarity account that has been opened by Project Justice Gonçalo Amaral.
PJGA's solidarity account has the following bank details:
BPI - Banco Português de Investimento, Sete Rios, Lisboa
BPI – Banco Português de Investimento, Sete Rios branch, in Lisbon
NIB: 0010 0000 438 0385 000 1 62
IBAN: PT 50 0010 0000 438 0385 000 1 62
Swift: BB PI PT PL
Best regards,
(Gonçalo Amaral)
3. We shall continue to recommend that those who wish to support Goncalo Amaral personally in his defence of the various claims against him do so via the PJGA and there is already a prominent link to the PJGA and the PJGA Fund on our website. As a matter of record, since our announcement of our proposals for a Goncalo Amaral Day, several people have already notified us that they have made new donations to this fund in support of Mr Amaral.
4. Individual members of The Madeleine Foundation Committee contributed to the £500 donation sent direct to Mr Amaral. A personal donation made by a Madeleine Foundation Committee member in March was sent with the accompanying message: "With best wishes from The Madeleine Foundation".
5. Again, just for the record, we have sent Mr Amaral a copy of all our publications, including our recent booklet: "The Madeleine McCann Case Files: Volume 1" and our new leaflet "Your questions answered about Goncalo Amaral". We also has a matter of courtesy sent him the biography of him which appears on our website, in our section on Goncalo Amaral, inviting correction if we had made any error in what we said. We do not invite his support or comments on any of our campaigns as we recognise that it could harm his defence if he was seen to be actively involved in any way e.g. if it was known that he supported any particular leafleting or other campaign. However, we make sure we keep him informed about our actions.

Did you all notice that bit about the donations being refused by Amaral? Yet Bennett lets everyone believe that Amaral accepted the payment, yet he knew LAST WEEK it was refused.
Bennett once again has been caught out lying, yet asks his disciples to hang on whilst he prepares to cover his back
I will reply later

As I expected, this thread is attracting many comments.
I have decided to let the thread run for a few more hours, and see what further issues and questions are raised by members here. I will then be more than happy to answer all the points as fully as I can, as I invariably do on here.
