Man City whistleblower Pinto to lose witness protection amid death threats
World3 sources3 countries🔦 Under-reported21m ago
Rui Pinto, the whistleblower behind the Football Leaks project, is set to lose his witness protection status in Portugal. His legal team announced the decision shortly after the Premier League issued a guilty verdict against Manchester City, a case supported by evidence Pinto previously brought to light.
Pinto has stated that he intends to go into hiding indefinitely due to ongoing death threats. The loss of official protection follows the conclusion of legal proceedings regarding his own activities, leaving him to manage his security independently despite the high-profile nature of his disclosures.
