Manchester City Whistleblower Pinto Leaves Portugal Over Safety Fears

Rui Pinto, the founder of Football Leaks who exposed Manchester City's financial dealings, has announced he will leave Portugal after authorities terminated his participation in the country's witness protection program. The decision came two days after Manchester City were found guilty of 115 charges by the Premier League in an investigation prompted by Pinto's leaks.

Portuguese authorities informed Pinto of the decision on Wednesday, prompting the whistleblower to claim he is facing 'the serious risk of an assassination attempt against me' after receiving 'multiple death threats.' His lawyers have stated his situation is 'critical' and plan to appeal the decision to remove his witness protection status. trojkonferencja2024.pl
