While inmates in Portugal, both Fernando Farinha Simões, in 1995, and Carlos Miranda, in 1998, received visits from prosecutors or Judicial Police agents, aid was offered to them if they remained silent about the Camarate attack. José Esteves, in 1996, was also contacted by the Judicial Police in the same direction. The contacts made with Farinha Simões and José Esteves will have been made by the prosecutor of the Public Ministry, Fernando Vaz Ventura.

As mentioned above, Major Canto e Castro, heard by the Commission via teleconference, perpetually denied any involvement in the attack on Camarate, as well as mecting any of the alleged agents.

Both Americans put Sturgis on CIA sphere, although formally outside it, a fact previously mentioned by Farinha Simões. The CIA, in response to the X CPITC, formally denied the possibility that Frank Sturgis worked for the agency.

It is unanimous opinion of Farinha Simões, José Esteves, Elza Simões, Carlos Aliranda and Victor Pereira who, thrce of them, Fernando Farinha Simões and José Esteves participated in the Camarate attack as their material authors, although in different degrees.

These deponents also consider that both the Judiciary Police and the Attomey General's Office Republic never wanted to investigate the plane crash, intimidating anyone who defended the thesis of the attack, thus concealing evidence that pointed to an attack.

Some of these difficulties originated from the deliberate concealment of information by several entities, others that resulted from the inexorable passing of time, with the consequent loss of reſerences and memory in relation to the facts that occurred about 34 years ago. In some cases, the passage of time has also served as a comfortable alibi for the omission of information.
