Judge bans book on missing Madeleine
A PORTUGUESE judge yesterday banned the further sale or publication of a book by a former police officer, which claims Madeleine McCann is dead, a spokesman for the missing girl's parents said.
Clarence Mitchell said Kate and Gerry McCann were "absolutely delighted" that a judge at Lisbon's main civil court had banned any further publication of The Truth of the Lie, by Goncalo Amaral.
He said the book had hampered the search for missing Madeleine and added to her parents' distress.
Mr Amaral worked on the investigation into three-year-old's disappearance from an apartment in Praia da Luz in May 2007 during a family holiday.
He was removed from the investigation after criticising British police.
Mr Mitchell said Mr Amaral's claims that he believed Madeleine was dead were "threatening the search".
