The Portuguese hacker whose release of a cache of documents led directly to Manchester City being charged with 115 rule breaches has avoided prison, according to a report.
In 2018, Rui Pinto released hundreds of thousands of documents and emails to media organisations across Europe, including those of City, which allowed the Premier League to impose charges on their current champions.
The charges were confirmed by the Premier League in February, which related to financial information regarding revenue, details of manager and player remuneration, UEFA regulations, profitability and sustainability and co-operation with Premier League investigations.
