Pinto to Leave Portugal Over Safety Fears

Football Leaks founder Rui Pinto is preparing to leave Portugal after his witness protection status was removed following multiple death threats.

Rui Pinto, the founder of Football Leaks, has revealed he will leave Portugal due to safety fears after his participation in the country's witness protection programme was terminated. 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 leaked documents. rouesnews.click

Pinto's lawyers will appeal the decision to remove his protection status, describing his situation as "critical." He claims to have received "multiple death threats" and is facing "the serious risk of an assassination attempt against me" after being informed by Portuguese authorities on Wednesday.
