Threatening to publish dangerous leaks condemning Manchester City
Sudan Events – Agencies
The Portuguese hacker, Rui Pinto, founder of the “Football Leaks” website, which specializes in leaks and scandals from the world of football, threatened to publish dangerous information that would condemn Manchester City before the Financial Fair Play Law, he said.
Pinto’s previous leaks were behind the European Football Association (UEFA) imposing a surprise penalty on City, suspending European participation for two years in 2020, due to violating financial regulations, in addition to a fine amounting to 25 million pounds sterling, and Manchester City subsequently succeeded in canceling the penalty before the International Sports Court.
“The documents I published regarding City revealed sums of money paid by the club, which were not mentioned to the football authorities. These documents are part of the investigation that the English Premier League is conducting with City. I have now presented 5 hard drives to the French and German authorities, containing millions of documents, including more about City, and describing the contents of each.” Pinto said, from his safe hideout.
“We have been contacted by investigators, in order to share information related to Manchester City, which has not been published before.” Pinto’s legal representative said.
“We have not published the information yet, but we have a huge file of documents related to Manchester City. These files will be published at some point. We cannot specify when, but we will do so.” He added.
It is noteworthy that Pinto, 35 years old, has been placed in the witness protection program since 2020.
