Football Leaks hacker Rui Pinto has threatened to release hundreds of damning club emails and documents that will show Manchester City deliberately cheated Financial Fair Play rules.
Manchester City are due for a hearing into their 115 alleged breached of FFP in November with some of the emails Pinto handed to authorities in 2018 forming part of the evidence.
Pinto confident of criminal relevancy
The previous leak included details of Roberto Mancini s contract, image-rights agreements involving Yaya Toure s agents and emails about club sponsorship.
Pinto, who has been in a witness protection programme since 2020, told the OffShore-Alert Marbella Conference via video link from his safe house: The Man City releases showed amounts of money being paid into by the club that were not mentioned to the football authorities.
These documents form part of the Premier League investigation into City. I have now handed five hard drives to French and German authorities with millions of documents, including more on City and I have described what is on each.
I am confident they will find criminal relevancy.
