The detective leading the McCann investigation was charged over an alleged attack on the mother of another missing girl. Goncalo Amaral is one of five men accused of "scenes of aggression" against Leonor Cipriano. Her nine-year-old daughter, Joana, vanished in September 2004. The little girl's body was never found but Cipriano and her brother, Joao, were charged and convicted of her murder. It is claimed the attack on Cipriano happened when she was questioned. Mr Amaral was "very angry" about the allegations. Three officers were charged with torture in June.
