On Wednesday, just hours after the verdict officially confirming Manchester City’s guilt, the Commission responsible for Portugal's witness protection programme informed me of its decision to terminate my participation in the programme and withdraw my police protection, thereby knowingly placing me in a life-threatening situation.
Given these circumstances, I have no alternative but to relocate, within the next few days, to an undisclosed location for an indefinite period of time, due to the multiple death threats I have received and the serious risk of an assassination attempt against me.
For this reason, I have just set up a GoFundMe campaign and I am asking for everyone's support to help me survive this serious situation created by the Portuguese State, which, as I have already stated, has knowingly decided to place my life at risk.
I would like to take this opportunity to extend a special thanks to everyone who continues to support Football Leaks, and I can give everyone one guarantee: the fight will most certainly continue!

BREAKING: The independent panel found Sheikh Mansour was unaware of what they describe as a series of ‘sham’ deals. In the appeal, #ManCity are likely to argue that such a notion - that Mansour was unaware of around £830M of his own money being used - is implausible.
The use of the word ‘sham’ is also thought to form part of @ManCity’s argument, likely to claim that ‘sham’ is not simply a word for something which appears suspect, but instead a legal term and that, in this case, it has been mis-used.

Executives at a number of Premier League clubs have told @guardian_sport that a points deduction to relegate #ManCity to the Championship for a single season would be insufficient given the scale of verdict.

FINALLY a big content creator has said what we’re all thinking about women in UT.
It’s not sexist to not be interested in women’s football.
It’s not sexist to not want players from a sport we don’t watch in the game and see them outperform R9 Ronaldo.
Well said🙏🏻 @NickRTFM
#ManCity whistleblower Rui Pinto will no longer be a protected witness by Portuguese authorities. Pinto has been advised to “exercise caution with family contacts” and avoid social media, while Portuguese police have deemed the risk to Pinto’s safety to be low.
