Sufficient

Dear friends,

Since it was started on April 29, 2015, by Leanne Baulch, the gofundme page dedicated to Gonçalo Amaral's defence has collected donations in excess of 50 thousand pounds. These funds have been transferred to the bank account that is held by Dr Paulo Sargento and other friends of Mr Amaral. Less than half of this amount has been spent on legal expenses for the defence of Gonçalo Amaral.

The Paypal account that is associated to the bank account has received over 6 thousand euro during the same period. Donations totaling a smaller amount have also been made directly to the bank account.

We believe that it is time to close the gofundme page, as the bank account currently stands at an amount that seems largely sufficient to face eventual future expenses.

As we await the verdict of the Appellate Court of Lisbon on the appeal that has been filed by Mr Amaral's lawyer, the remaining funds will be kept in the bank account. They will be used if necessary in the future. Any unused funds will, as we stated in 2009, be donated to a Portuguese children's charity.
 
May we use this moment to wholeheartedly thank those who have expressed their support of Gonçalo Amaral's right to an appropriate defence? Whether you have contributed financially or by sending a support message - you have made an impact. You have made a difference.
Thank you so very, very much.

The gofundme page will be closed on the 28th of October, 2015.

    Good luck Mr Amaral! I am happy and proud to be one of the so called 'sick trolls' that contributed to the fund designed to make sure you get justice. Millions of British £s have been spent on trying to find Madeleine. The British public need to know how it has been spent, and why SY is dragging it's feet when it comes to securing a conviction. Everyone else can see what happened, yet we still get reports in the British media from Clarence. Stop waisting tax payers' money I say.

    It is a very long time for Dr Amaral to be kept waiting for the verdict. I do hope everything is all right with him and he is keeping well. Here in UK a veritable media blizzard of McCann stories is taking place and this normally happens when the couple are desperate to distract public attention from something disagreeable to themselves. Unfortunately for them, the tide has turned and many people are incensed about this long running charade. I hope all this augers well for Dr Amaral, who is often in my thoughts and prayers.
