The hacker behind the explosive Football Leaks scandal has threatened to release a raft of Manchester City emails and documents - and is confident they will prove that the club deliberately cheated Financial Fair Play Rules.
Rui Pinto, who gained access to thousands of City emails and leaked a large number to the media in 2018, has alleged he has provided authorities in Germany and France with 'millions' of damning documents that he claims will show 'criminal relevancy'.
The 35-year-old has been in a witness protection programme since 2020. He was handed a four-year suspended sentence by a court in Portugal last year but avoided prison despite being found guilty of attempted extortion and illegal access to data.
