Manchester City whistleblower loses protected status

The 37-year-old, who operates the website Football Leaks, has been advised to "exercise caution with family contacts" and avoid social media. Pinto provided information concerning City's finances and previously called City's decision "historic for English football." His protection status was removed by Portuguese authorities on Wednesday, according to documents seen by the Guardian.

Pinto had been a protected witness since 2020, following his arrest and subsequent agreement to grant Portuguese authorities access to millions of files gathered prior to his detention. saltysenoritaaz.com
