Football Leaks hacker Rui Pinto will help the Premier League's inquiry into Manchester City as fresh evidence of club's 'inflated' sponsorship deals brings new heat in their cash cheat probe

The controversial figure at the heart of the 'Football Leaks' organisation that exposed wrong-doing across global football is willing to assist the Premier League as they continue to investigate Manchester City for alleged breaches of their rules.

Portuguese Rui Pinto, 32, is currently in a witness protection programme in his home country, where a trial against him for alleged hacking and other charges is likely to resume next month.

A self-styled whistleblower, Pinto did a deal with Portuguese judicial authorities to hand over hundreds of millions of documents in his possession that might assist them with various corruption investigations.
