The
Man City whistleblower whose hacked emails played a role in sparking the
Premier League's investigation into the club's finances has lost his witness protection in
Portugal‚ and is looking to raise over £2.55million to 'relocate within the next few days'. Through his Football Leaks site‚ Pinto released thousands of confidential documents‚ including confidential emails from
inside Man City‚ which formed the basis for reporting by Der Spiegel in 2018. This in turn launched probes from both
UEFA and the
Premier League into the club's practices‚ the latter's investigation coming to a head this week with the confirmation of a guilty verdict on all of their serious breaches of the league's financial regulations.
