Football hacker threatens to release incriminating emails that prove Man City breached FFP rules

Manchester City are currently facing a 115 breach of the FFP rule with an investigation still ongoing on the case.

The Citizens are being charged with violating FFP regulations by hiding payments made to other parties under the guise of sponsorship income.

However, City fiercely contested the misconduct but they will likely have to appear in court on the 115 Premier League charges they are facing.

According to reports, Pinto has obtained access to thousands of City emails and exposed many of them to the media in 2018.

Pinto is thought to have retained most of the records about City's financial operations, after revealing shocking information on the team's sponsorship revenue in the past.

According to Daily Mail, Pinto revealed from his safehouse, saying, “The Man City releases showed amounts of money being paid into by the club that were not mentioned to the football authorities.

“These documents are from 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.”

Additionally, a lawyer representing Pinto stated: "Investigators have asked us to share previously undisclosed information about Manchester City.

“We haven't released the information yet but we have a massive file of Manchester City-related documents that has yet to be released. The files will be published at some point, we cannot say when but we will do it.”

In 2020, Pinto's leaked documents caused UEFA to impose a shocking two-year European ban on City for violating financial constraints with the team also fined over £25 million.
