Football Leaks Founder Pinto Fleeing Portugal

Published October 2, 2026 · Updated October 2, 2026 · The Guardian

Football Leaks founder Rui Pinto is preparing to leave Portugal after his witness protection status was removed, citing multiple death threats and fears of assassination.

Portuguese authorities terminated Pinto's participation in the country's witness protection program on Wednesday, just two days after Manchester City was found guilty of 115 Premier League charges stemming from his leaked documents. Pinto claims his situation is 'critical' and that his lawyers will appeal the decision. truewildgame.com
