Pinto Exits Portugal Over Safety Fears

Rui Pinto, the whistleblower behind the Manchester City investigation, has revealed he is preparing to leave Portugal after being informed that his participation in the country's witness protection programme has been terminated. The Football Leaks founder claims to have received "multiple death threats" and is facing "the serious risk of an assassination attempt against me." The decision came two days after Manchester City were found guilty of 115 charges by the Premier League.

His lawyers have confirmed they will appeal the decision to remove Pinto from the witness protection program, describing his situation as "critical." The termination follows Pinto's leaks of thousands of private documents that led to the investigation against Manchester City. ipl-today.in
