CAS judgement: UEFA ban overturned, City exonerated (report out p603)

The story was that they obtained and used the log in credentials of a former colleague at City. Their own had been cancelled. Still woeful cyber security though.

The WarGames film wasn't real bud.

As said earlier, the scouts who left and went to Livarpool used a (still) current employees log in details. And yes, I've no doubt security could have been tighter.

I’ve no real idea whether states are involved in the football leaks or whether Pinto and his mates were just seeing what they could find, under guidance from the group of journalists who seem to to be sponsoring his work.

As a side issue, I never had a problem with him hacking City emails or any of the other stuff he’s accused of and, as such, am pleased that City didn’t ‘get off’ because the emails weren’t admissible but because they could prove they weren’t guilty. Let’s be honest, if he’d found hacked evidence of Liverpool and Utd agreeing to fix matches or some other such misdemeanours, nobody on this forum would have been calling him a criminal.

Whilst I appreciate that War Games wasn’t real, Gary McKinnon was, and he did a bit more than hack a few football teams....
 
For those few posters who seem the most knowledgeable on this subject @projectriver @Prestwich_Blue - what would the main reasoning for the final judgment still not being released be?
To go from a couple of days to well over a week, will there be any significance or is it likely nothing more than sitting the I’s and crossing the T’s ?

The allegations against Pinto so far seemed to suggest his business model was to steal/hack information and sell it to the highest bidder, including blackmailing the victims. Based on what has been published in Portugal the case seems very strong. He even hacked into the police officials who were investigating him. The City emails are a tiny fraction of the Footy Leaks haul which apparently includes hundreds of millions of caches of data. I don't think City's emails are even part of the 90 charges laid against Pinto.
It seems possible that Der Spiegel were keen to highlight City because they were keen to appease Bayern Munich who were suing them over a previous story. It is also possible the Qataris were also just customers of Pinto.
It should be a fascinating court case...if it ever happens. Pinto may just do a deal and start blabbing. He is facing a lot of jail time.

The quills need sharpening.

Liverpool got in not because the people who left used ‘log ins’ that weren’t stopped... they used the details of somebody still working at City, on hundreds of occasions.
