Witness testimony of Joao Crisostomo Vieira Olim Junior 2007.05.14

To the case at hand, he said:
--- He comes as a witness based on the fact that he works part-time and out-of-hours for the previously identified L.F.D.Antonio.
--- Following this, and due to his professional relationship with the above person, the deponent states that he habitually drives the VW Passat licence 5.-..-.P, owned by L.A., in virtue of having to assiduously go to areas bordering Lagos in order to perform his part-time work for that individual [L.A.].
--- Asked, he states that that activity translates into the expansion of private swimming pool cleaning and disinfection business [operations] in the area of Praia da Luz.
--- Asked, he states that L.A. had established the business several years ago, adding that he had worked for him for about 2 years.
--- The question asked, he clarified having met L.A. and his wife about five years before on the occasion of a meeting of a religious cult which they both profess - namely the cult of Jehovah's Witnesses.
--- Concerning the wife of L.A., the deponent knows only that she is German-born and a Portuguese national, named M.W., and that she works in real estate.
--- Asked to clarify the circumstances under which he was using the vehicle in question, he revealed that, despite it appearing to be owned by L.A. (because it is usually parked near to his home in Rua Adelina ...) it is strictly speaking a service vehicle [for the business] and he uses it in accordance with the planned time table of daily visits.
--- Relating to the events under investigation in this case re: the disappearance of British minor, Madeleine McCann, on 3 May 2007 from Ocean Club Garden - Praia da Luz - Lagos, the deponent stated he knows absolutely nothing about any incidents that might have possibly surrounded the occurrence.
--- He explains that on that date he was in Almadena in the morning doing his part-time work described above.
--- Having spent the morning cleaning and disinfecting several private pools in that area he stopped work at 12h00.
--- Then he will have gone to L.A.'s house to park the car there, then he will have walked home on foot to Rua da Estrema ... in Lagos, where he will have rested, as usual, given that he had a night shift from 24h00 to 08h00 as nightwatch at the Valverde campsite.
--- Later, at 18h30, he would have prepared himself for a Jehovah's Witness meeting which he attended between 20h30 and 22h30.
--- He states that at a time he does recall exactly, but between 18h30 and 20h00, he will have eaten his dinner at home.
--- The above [prayer] meeting being over, he will have returned home where he changed into his uniform and left for the Valverde campsite where he would have been the entire early morning of 4 May fulfilling his job as nightwatch.
--- Therefore, he reiterates knowing nothing about the disappearance of Madeleine McCann, wishing to add that he found out about its proportions and the related incidents only the following day from what was said and written in the Press.

[Letter to Amaral re: Luis Antonio]
Another suggestive letter from the National Directorate in Lisbon, this one
dated 18 May 2007, in which it states that the British authorities have
advocated the phone surveillance of Luis Antonio in order to assess his possible
involvement or knowledge of the events of 3 May 2007.

Again the Directorate ventures to suggest obtaining the relevant legal authority
to obtain past call history for, and to monitor future calls on two telephones,
and politely leaves the appropriate actions to be taken up to the consideration
and determination of the Coordinator of the Investigation.

i.e. confirmation notes by MoPo on having seen the National Directorate suggestions, along with  the placement of phone surveillance -

Luis Filipe Duarte Antonio
Date: 24 May 2007; Time: 11h00; Place: In this Department
Officer: Joao Carvalho, Inspector

To the matter in hane he said:
--- Because it was asked, and after it was explained the reason for them (for
photographic identification) he accepted and gave his voluntary consent for
several photographs to be taken of him. They were taken by an employee of this
Department of the Policia Judiciaria, Pedro V., Assistant Specialist.
--- He has a business company in his own name for about 10 years, it being
dedicated to the maintenance and repair of swimming pools.
--- In the maintenance and repair is included everything related to pools and
its perfect usage after its construction, from cleaning/suction (of the pool and the filters) through treatment of the water with application of appropriate
chemical products, and to the maintenance and repair of motors that drive the
water circulation [pumps].
--- From memory, he began servicing the "Ocean Club" tourist complex in Praia da
Luz - Lagos, between 1998 and 2000, not remembering precisely the exact dates.
--- It was his client until his services were dispensed with, he thinks because
his wife Michaela Walczuch having been ill (later being determined that she was
pregnant) and having failed to maintain the pools several times, having been at
home. The person who had contacted him, the person responsible for that service
in the "Ocean Club", was an employee named Silvia (he thinks that she still
works there). She had told him that his services were no longer required.
--- Asked he responded that he held no grudge against anyone, advancing that
that type of pool (in tourist complexes) give much work due the the number of
people that use them, it being, in monetary terms, less profitable than working
on private swimming pools.
--- He can prove this claim because he is currently responsible for 37 or 38
private pools having only the St. James resort, in Praia da Luz, and a
condominium "Building B1 4-A, in Lagos.
--- In the past two years he had a boy, called Joao Junior, as a part-time
employee who helped maintain some of the pools, he having during this past week
(probably because of the deponent having been involved with the police), refused
to continue to help him in his work.
--- Asked about days 2 and 3 May 2007, he said:
-----> On 2 May he did "normal work for the day", Wednesday, and that during the
morning that is doing two clients in Mexilhoreira Grande, another one near to
"Penina Resort" - National Route Portimao-Lagos. He doesn't remember if he took
lunch or not on that day, but if he did then he surely went to "The Tavern", in
Alcalar, close to the car showroom of Rui Avo.
-----> In the afternoon he was "doing" 3 pools in Urb. da Globo, in Senhora do
Verde, until around 17h30. Around 18h00/18h30 he remembers having gone to mount
a motor, which he thinks he had bought the day before (but that can be confirmed
with the invoice, if necessary), in Vale da Lama, close to Odiaxere, to a man
named Mark who is not a client but he [LA] had been asked by a mutual
acquaintance and had accepted the job. That consisted of unmounting a motor that
had been installed previously to "disentangle from the client" and mounting the
new one. Around 19h30 he still went to his German client, named Lier, in the
same area, Lote 6.
-----> At 20h45 he must have been home, not remembering if he passed by the
Lagos tennis club,in Urb. Marina Sol near the "boat roundabout". Once in a while
he passes by [drops in] there at the end of the day "to give two fingers of conversation" and to drink "a glass", or to take breakfast. This happens because
his friend, Jorge Arvelos, works as in the tennis club bar. He slept at his
house, at the address given above. Because he had a cheque of that date (2 May),
which is in the case file, he said that possibly he went to te
client/administrator of the Condominium "Predio Bl. 4-A, in Lagos.
-----> As for day 3 May he thinks that at 10h00 he took breakfast at the Lagos
tennis club, having stayed that day a little longer that usual because "it was a
day he had no appetite for work". At 11h30/12h00 he left, not remembering where
he ate lunch. Also he does not remember what he did in the afternoon, having in
principle done his usual work and visits of Thursday in the Lagos area. He has
the notion only that around 18h30 he went "to do" a pool close to the small
roundabout next to the Lagos Health Centre, Lote 5, on the Atalaia road, at
client Paulo Saraiva. He left around 19h30 and went to his next client, Anabela
Valente, Lote 45, near the Private Hospital S. Goncalo de Lagos. He remembers
these two clients because he received from them cheques for payment of his
services. Copies of those cheques are in the case file.
--- He wants at this point to correct that:
--- 1. He does not remember id he ate lunch at "The Tavern" in Alcalar because
at times he picks up something to eat in the car and therefore does not go to
any establishment [eating place].
--- 2. The time taken with each pool can be longer or shorter depending on the
maintenance and/or problems found, and their resolution.
--- 3. Due to the fact that there already having passed some time since 2 and 3
May, he cannot guarantee with all certainty the actions and times indicated it
being, however, that these client visits are made every Wednesday and Thursday.
--- 4. His clients do not always want their pool treated, they are not always at
home or they are not always aware of his presence he having the freedom and
authority to enter the access gates, possessing the gate keys for several homes
for that purpose.
--- 5. Customarily he gets up every day around 08h00, some days taking his 8
year old daughter, C.S., to the primary school in Ameijeira, Lagos by 09h00.
--- 6. He is a regular client, at lunch time, of the "Bem Bom" restaurant in
Atalaia, Lagos.
--- 7. At the time (the date of the events) he had an "assistant/helper", called
Joao Junior (already mentioned previously), who works Monday-Wednesday. He is
trusted in in his work, at times not having full control over him when his work
was done on those days.
--- As to his relationship with M.W., he said that they had come to a mutual
agreement that was better than a divorce, both agreeing to safeguard the
interests of their daughter. That agreement has already been delivered to a
lawyer to be rendered effective. While they live in the same house, in separate
bedrooms, each is free to live their own life. Neither interferes in the life of
the other, there existing a mutual respect.
--- As for Robert Murat he knows him as a colleague of his wife, thinking him an
empathetic person, relationally easy and accessible. He doesn't know much about
him although he [RM] has dined occasionally in his [LA} house at the invitation
of M.W., and the deponent has, once, treated his swimming pool.
--- He has not seen him for some time, not having spoken with him since his
becoming an arguido in this Inquiry. From memory the last time he saw him was
when he [LA] came home and he [RM] being with M.W., recalling that they spoke a
little, the deponent learning that Robert Murat was helping in the searches. He
does not recall the date.
--- Questioned about the number of telephone calls received daily he responded
that it is usual for him to always be on his mobile phone responding to clients,
suppliers and family members.
--- Asked if on 2 and/or 3 May 2007 he was inside the "Ocean Club" resort in
Praia da Luz, Lagos, he responded "absolutely NOT". He advances that from memory
since the Complex ceased being a client he has never been in there, that is in
the pools area, bras/restaurants, shops, etc. In that time he also does not
recall having been in the vicinity of the Complex nor even in Praia da Luz.
--- Asked about if he frequently/usually goes to "Baptista Supermarket" near to
"Ocean Club" he says that in Praia da Luz he has no fixed place where he usually
eats, it also not being often that he "passes by there", but that sometimes he
goes buying something to eat, "up until the things there are no longer appropriately cheap."
--- As for the disappearance of Madeleine McCann he said that, from memory, on
day $ May he learned of it first through the car radio.
--- He did not participate in the searches to find the the missing girl, nor
later being, at any time, in the place of the happenings.
--- Attached are two pages showing copies of three cheques mentioned above.
