A Portuguese court on Wednesday banned sales of a former police officer's book on the disappearance of girl Madeleine McCann, her parents' lawyer said.
In his book "A Verdade da Mentira" ("The Truth of the Lie") Goncalo Amaral claims that the girl, who went missing from an Algarve holiday flat where her family was staying in 2007, is dead and that her parents hid her body.
The decision by a Lisbon court came after a complaint by Madeleine's parents, Gerry and Kate McCann. Amaral's book has also been adapted for television.
The former Portuguese police chief backed up his claim citing the investigation launched into the parents in September 2007. Amaral was taken off the case a month later and the McCanns were cleared by a Portuguese court. Portuguese police have since said they are no longer actively investigating.
