Manchester City whistleblower Rui Pinto loses protected witness status in Portugal

Original: Manchester City whistleblower Rui Pinto no longer a protected witness in Portugal

Rui Pinto, the Football Leaks founder whose leaks underpin the case against Manchester City, is no longer classed as a protected witness in Portugal. The change alters the legal safeguards around him as his prosecutions there continue, and draws fresh attention to the ongoing financial fair play proceedings involving the English champions.

Why now: His status affects the legal jeopardy of a key figure in the high-profile Manchester City case.
