- Is the proprietor of Refugio, a
restaurant situated in Burgau,
for about one year;
- The witness states that on May 1,
2007, day off, at around 16H00, a
couple appeared motivated by adverts
in a lock of apartments in 'Sol e
Mar' in Burgau, in order to reserve
a dinner table. The couple reserved
the table closest to the door for
19H15;
- At that time the couple appeared
and occupied said table;
- Almost immediately, the women
began to photograph the interior of
the restaurant without asking for
permission. This situation captured
the attention of the witness because
his clients, tend to be of a 'posher
class' and are more discreet in
their conduct. This couples
clothing was of a vulgar fashion;
- The women proceeded to photograph
everything, people and objects for
around 10 minutes. When she stopped
photographing, the witness brought
her a menu. They began to speak
English, regarding fishes and as she
could not identity the tamboril (a
fish) she asked the witness if he
knew the name in German. He
responded no, that he did not. At
the next table, there sat a German
couple who gave the woman the name
of the tamboril fish in German;
- From that sequence of events, the
witness presumes that the client was
not German, asked her nationally, to
which she replied, Polish;
- Meanwhile, the client ordered an entrée and drinks (half a bottle of
red wine of Monte Velho) and a
bottle of water without gas;
- Witness adds that while he served
the drinks, the woman took many
pictures of the witness, without
asking his permission. The witness,
bothered by the situation, in an
ironic form, told her that in order
to continue taking pictures, she
would have to pay after which she
stopped;
- This woman took her pictures with
a digital camera, or small
dimensions, but he did not catch the
brand or characteristics;
- He served her entrée: Mexilhao a
Provencal and 'Alabote with caper
sauce' to the male who devoured the
entrees within 5 minutes. The woman
took a bit longer and did not eat
everything. They did not have desert
and did not have coffee;
- The individual asked for the bill
and paid cash. After and hurriedly,
the couple left the restaurant
without saying goodbye to parts
unknown;
- He noticed that they left on foot.
They did not go by car as if they
had the care would have been parked
well away from the restaurant;
- He describes the woman as
Caucasian, around 32/33 years of
age, blonde and in a pony-tail with
clips. He believed it was not combed
often. She also had dark eyes and
was of normal height. She had a slim
face and was around 170 cm tall and
slim. She was wearing a printed
beige dress and a bordeaux coloured
jacket. She also wore trousers but
he did not record the details. He
did not look to her shoes;
- The male, also Caucasian, was
around 35 years, about 180cm in
height, dark hair combed to the
back, slim face, dark eyes,
rectangular glasses with transparent
lenses in black frame. He was
wearing a black shirt and a black
jacket. His trousers were also
black. He does not remember other
details of his clothing;
- He had the sense that the couple
were people with money and of
culture;
- Confronted with a photograph in
the file, the witness identified the
two people who could be found behind
the individual, as the couple who
ate in his restaurant ton May 01,
2007;
- States that the couple did not
return to the restaurant after that
time and he did not see them again;
- States that the couple did not
comment on their visit to Portugal.
States that they only spoke of fish.
Nothing more. During drinks, he saw
the couple speaking to other
clients;
- States that the individual, when
he reserved, did so in the book and
the witness offered to make a page
for authorities.
