Who Is Man City Whistleblower Rui Pinto and What Has Become of Him?
Pinto says Infantino helped Manchester City and PSG avoid tougher UEFA sanctions after documents showed overvalued sponsorship deals and more than 70 million leaks.
- On Wednesday, Rui Pinto, founder of Football Leaks, alleged that FIFA President Gianni Infantino intervened while serving as UEFA General Secretary to help Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain avoid sanctions.
- Manchester City faces potential penalties after being found guilty of breaching financial rules over a nine-year period, with irregularities originally exposed by Pinto's website through confidential documents.
- Allegations claim Infantino abused his authority to outmaneuver UEFA's investigatory chamber, ensuring both clubs received only fines rather than facing deeper investigations that could have resulted in Champions League bans.
- FIFA President Infantino faces mounting pressure following these claims, with the Swiss Football Association becoming the latest organization to withdraw its support for the president amid governance concerns.
- As Portuguese authorities revoked Pinto's witness protection on Wednesday citing low risk, Manchester City remains steadfast in denying wrongdoing and is expected to lodge an appeal by Friday.
