Manchester City Whistleblower Pinto Leaves Portugal

Rui Pinto, the founder of Football Leaks who triggered the investigation that led to Manchester City being found guilty of 115 Premier League charges, has announced his decision to leave Portugal. The whistleblower revealed his participation in the country's witness protection programme was terminated on Wednesday, two days after the Premier League's verdict against Manchester City.

Pinto described his situation as "critical" after receiving "multiple death threats" and facing "the serious risk of an assassination attempt against me." His lawyers have confirmed they will appeal the decision to remove his witness protection status as Pinto continues to fear for his safety. ipl-today.in
