Perhaps he's a Porto fan, and took umbrage about us calling Hulk "not incredible" when we played them.

Actually he is a fanatical Porto fan who hates their rival clubs in Lisbon, Sporting and Benfica. It has been reported that his original motivation for the hacking was to target the Lisbon clubs who he perceived to be corrupt He was apparently caught in a sting operation trying to extort money from agents connected to Sporting Lisbon. His defence is that he is a whistleblower trying to expose corruption in Portugese football. However he appears to have got a bit carried away.

Hope you have a microscope.

Preferably an electron microscope.

He sounds like a really impartial bloke who was just simply doing it for the greater good. Didn’t he say that he didn’t want to go back to Portugal as he’d been getting death threats from Benfica fans?

The article about City's spending would have been far more emphatic if the currency were Zimbabwean dollar.

City's spending hits 360 billion.

Missed opportunity for the BBC.

He was caught bang to rights on tape in a sting operation by undercover police as he demanded money from Portugese officials in exhange for not leaking their data to the media. He had huge sums of money in Swiss bank accounts. He has been accused of blackmailing organisations and wealthy individuals across the world and that's why he has been charged with extortion. I think it is far-fetched to suggest he is a whisteblower. The reason he is being held in prison is that Pinto has now been accused of hacking into the office of the Portugese Attorney General whose team is currently investigating him. City's emails are a tiny fraction of this entire saga.

Gone very quiet on this.

It will be in every news paper, tv channel whenever City win something.

They tried to take away the beautiful moments from us by publishing negative news about City whenever they see City fans celebrating.

Didn't he also steal a big wedge from Deutsche bank?

It said in the Portugese press that Pinto hacked into a Deutsche Bank account in the Cayman Islands in 2013 and took 310,000 Euros. It belonged to a client of the bank. But Pinto was never charged after he returned the money. I wonder if he was blackmailing the person he hacked. He must have had some dirt on them for no charges to be brought. I don't fancy UEFA's chances of building a strong case against City if they are just basing it on a few hacked emails from Pinto.

As you say, he appears to be anything but a whistleblower.

Makes me laugh all these opposition fans wanking themselves into a frenzy over the the possibility of City getting a CL ban. The thick mouth-breathing ****s don’t seem to realise that there could well be shit on their clubs too.
