Luis Filipe Duarte Antonio<\/strong>
Date: 24 May 2007; Time: 11h00; Place: In this Department 
Officer: Joao Carvalho, Inspector <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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 [<\/em>LA<\/em>]<\/em> 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 4 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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
