Madeleine McCann book banned

A Portuguese judge has banned further sales or publications of a former policeman's book which claims Madeleine McCann is dead.
Clarence Mitchell said Kate and Gerry McCann were "absolutely delighted" that The Truth Of The Lie by Goncalo Amaral will be taken off shop shelves.
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 Madeleine'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.
The injunction, granted today after a hearing last week, means he has to ensure that all unsold copies of the book are removed from shops and warehouses across Europe or he faces a 1,000 euro-a-day (£877) fine.


///Read a few interviews with this guy in the portuguese press and he seemed legit enough, maybe misguided, obviously keen to promote his book also.  Went on at length about the initial interviews and his interpretation of evidence from sniffer dogs. Obv the judges now don't think his interpretation was so great.

this seems a touch harsh. so he's responsible for every shop and warehouse in europe and if there's just one of his books in 1 shop or warehouse anywhere in europe then he's fined 1k/day? shouldn't think that one's going to be too hard to appeal

Don't understand this. There are far worse and more damaging books than this that haven't been banned.
