Manchester City whistleblower seeks UK protection deal
Original: Manchester City whistleblower ready to help UK authorities in return for protection By Exclusive by Miguel Dantas Rui Pi
Miguel Rui Pinto, the Portuguese hacker behind the Football Leaks disclosures that led to Premier League charges against Manchester City, says he is ready to assist UK authorities probing the club — but only if he receives protection. He faces the potential loss of witness safeguarding in Portugal, prompting him to seek guarantees in return for cooperation.
Why now: The whistleblower's condition that he be protected in exchange for testimony puts fresh pressure on the ongoing Manchester City case.
