It is sickening that the USA is now lifting sanctions on Russian fuel, and transparently ridiculous to blame Ukraine for the spike in prices that obviously began with the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. Putin is murdering innocent Ukrainian civilians every day. The Ukrainians are fighting for their lives. And yet the White House is apparently determined to force American drivers to bankroll Putin’s slaughter. It won’t work and I doubt it will make much difference to the price of fuel.

If we want Russian oil and gas back on the world market then let’s end this war - with a free, sovereign and independent Ukraine.

Today, Russia expressed its thanks for the lifting of sanctions on diesel exports by dropping five glide bombs on residential buildings in Zaporizhzhia. As of now, sadly, twelve people have been confirmed killed, including three children. My condolences to all their families and loved ones. Another fourteen people have been injured, and two of them are in critical condition – the doctors are fighting to save their lives. The status of twelve more people who may have been there is still being verified. All emergency services are at the scene, and search-and-rescue operations are underway. Overnight, thirteen of our regions came under attack. Residential buildings, infrastructure, and railway facilities have been damaged.

Last night confirmed once again that in Russia, they take any easing of pressure to mean they can keep fighting, to mean they can keep dropping bombs on cities. Different signals are needed. Russia must understand that it needs to stop the war, and for that to happen, Russia must feel its losses. Right now, it is our long-range capabilities that are ensuring this. And we will respond to Russian strikes. I thank everyone who is helping.

24 hours after the launch of the campaign, I want to take a moment to sincerely thank everyone who has taken the time and made the effort to contribute to this cause.

Every donation, regardless of its size, is a meaningful act of solidarity and trust. This is particularly important at a time when many people are facing their own financial difficulties, amid economic uncertainty and rising costs of fuel and essential goods.

I feel it is important to provide an update and, above all, to be as transparent as possible about the situation and the needs that may lie ahead.

In the worst-case scenario, what does it actually cost to live in hiding for an indefinite period of time, and to deal with everything that comes with it?

Honestly, I don't know.

The maximum target of the campaign is merely indicative. It reflects the uncertainty surrounding the situation and the fact that, at this stage, it is impossible to know how long this may last or what the total cost will ultimately be.

Living in hiding is not simply a matter of finding somewhere to stay. There are accommodation, food, transportation, documentation, communication and other basic living expenses to consider, all of which become considerably more complicated when normal life is no longer possible. One thing, however, is certain, it will not be cheap.

That is why your support, no matter how small, can be truly crucial. When we do not know how long this situation will last, every contribution helps provide some stability and makes it possible to deal with whatever comes next.

There is also another important matter that needs to be taken into consideration. The legal costs associated with the Football Leaks proceedings in Portugal. At this stage, the figures I am dealing with are:

Case 6255/15.9TDLSB: a minimum of €19,078 in compensation claims.

Case 1178/19.5TELSB: a minimum of €1,000,000 in compensation claims should the acquittal be overturned.

Case 456/20.5TELSB: the legal costs remain undetermined, as the case is still under investigation in Portugal.

These are significant amounts, and they help put the financial reality of the situation into perspective. These are not abstract figures, they concern legal proceedings that continue to have very real financial consequences. Everything is being handled with the greatest possible transparency and in coordination with my legal team.

Thank you to everyone who has contributed financially, shared the campaign, helped spread the word, sent a message, or simply chosen not to remain indifferent.

Not everyone can help a great deal, but when many people contribute what they can, even in small amounts, the collective impact can be enormous. Every contribution matters. And right now, it truly matters!

O comunicado de imprensa dos meus advogados, Francisco Teixeira da Mota, Luísa Teixeira da Mota, William Bourdon e Vincent Brengarth, relativamente às acções vergonhosas tomadas contra mim pelo Estado português na quarta-feira:

COMUNICADO DE IMPRENSA

Lisboa e Paris, 2 de outubro de 2026

Fim da proteção de Rui Pinto: os seus advogados apelam às autoridades portuguesas para que reconsiderem uma decisão com consequências gravíssimas

Rui Pinto, o denunciante que esteve na origem do Football Leaks, foi notificado, na passada quarta-feira, de que o programa especial de segurança de que beneficia desde agosto de 2020 terminará no próximo dia 10 de outubro. Dentro de poucos dias, sem ter sido previamente ouvido, como a lei exige, perderá a residência protegida e confidencial que lhe foi atribuída e será obrigado a encontrar, com urgência, uma nova habitação, sem qualquer garantia de que a proteção policial se mantenha.

A sua situação é agora crítica. As ameaças de que é alvo não são meramente teóricas: em abril passado, foi agredido em Lisboa. As suas revelações envolveram figuras poderosas e dotadas de vastos recursos, e muitos dos processos judiciais delas decorrentes continuam ainda em curso, como demonstra a decisão proferida há apenas alguns dias pela comissão independente da Premier League relativamente ao Manchester City. Privado abruptamente da sua residência protegida e colocado numa situação de extrema precariedade, Rui Pinto ficará agora mais vulnerável do que em qualquer outro momento desde 2020.

Rui Pinto cooperou com a justiça portuguesa, e foi precisamente essa cooperação que justificou a sua integração num programa de proteção. As suas revelações, utilizadas por numerosas autoridades judiciais, fiscais e desportivas em toda a Europa, a começar por França, contribuíram para reforçar a transparência e a integridade no futebol. Os Estados que beneficiaram da sua atuação não podem simplesmente virar as costas à pessoa que assumiu os riscos necessários para trazer estes factos à luz do dia.

Nos termos da lei, será interposto recurso administrativo desta decisão, com efeito suspensivo. Os advogados de Rui Pinto, confiando em que as autoridades portuguesas dariam a devida consideração à sua situação, solicitaram, na passada quarta-feira, ao Ministério da Justiça que reconsiderasse esta decisão, que divulgasse os elementos da reavaliação do risco em que a mesma se baseou, que o seu constituinte fosse ouvido e que garantisse, em qualquer caso, a continuidade da sua proteção. Até ao momento, não foi recebida qualquer resposta.

Esta decisão e a forma como foi tomada, não respeita, lamentavelmente, o Estado de Direito e constitui um ato de terrorismo de Estado. Não podemos aceitá-lo.

Football Leaks was launched exactly 11 years ago. On 29th September 2015, the first revelations emerged from a project that promised to expose, without filters, the corruption, fraud and other criminal practices that had been kept hidden behind the curtain. Back then, the game we all love was rotten. Third-party ownership was widespread, and even FIFA, football's international governing body, was facing a corruption scandal that sent shockwaves around the world.
Eleven years later, much of what was brought to light remains part of football's reality. Football changed, the money grew, the game became a global business, but beneath the glamour, the same questions about power, money and accountability remain.

[Rui Pinto @RuiPinto_FL]

It's official. The statement released today by the Premier League ultimately confirms, unequivocally, the truth of everything that was revealed through Football Leaks. The Independent Commission is also particularly harsh in the way it characterises the actions taken by Manchester City executives, who, without a shadow of a doubt, acted with complete impunity, challenging everyone and everything. From the very beginning, they have demonstrated a complete lack of respect for the rules, for the bodies responsible for overseeing and regulating the game, for the integrity of the competition, for the other clubs and, above all, for the fans.
Years and years of cheating, lying and manipulation will finally have consequences.

[Rui Pinto @RuiPinto_FL]

É oficial. O comunicado divulgado hoje pela Premier League acaba por confirmar, perentoriamente, a veracidade de tudo aquilo que foi revelado através do Football Leaks. A Comissão Independente é também especialmente dura na forma como classifica as acções praticadas pelos dirigentes do Manchester City, que, sem sombra de dúvida, actuaram com a maior impunidade, desafiando tudo e todos. Demonstraram, desde sempre, não ter qualquer respeito pelas regras, pelas entidades de fiscalização e regulação, pela integridade da competição, pelos outros clubes e, acima de tudo, pelos fãs.
Anos e anos de batota, mentira e manipulação terão, finalmente, consequências.

[Rui Pinto @RuiPinto_FL]

Roberto Mancini, who never answered the questions from the journalists who analyzed the Football Leaks documents, is now rushing to minimize the issue of his Consultancy Agreements, signed with his companies 'Sparkleglow Holdings' in Mauritius and 'Italy International Services' in Rome.

"Not my concern. It’s their issue, not mine", he says.

The idea may have come from Manchester City executives, but knowingly accepting such a side arrangement raises a serious moral question, to say the least.

Na quinta almocei num restaurante no Sul e ouvi a conversa do lado: “Vamos dar três no Dragão. Não jogam nada, não têm hipóteses”.

Sou pessimista, mas fiquei com a convicção de que íamos ganhar. Tantas décadas disto e ainda não perceberam que a fanfarronice só nos beneficia.

Attitude détestable de Sabalenka à la fin du match, fracassant sa raquette, envoyant balader ici le caméraman, et évitant de regarder Rybakina soulever le trophée.
C’est toujours facile de faire la ‘belle’ dans la victoire, mais c’est plus compliqué d’être digne dans la défaite.
