PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

Why did Pinto get a suspended sentence? If he was bang to rights (which, it seems, he very much was), why would the law even discuss any bargaining position..?

You think he craves the attention of people on Bluemoon?

His only cravings are to be right and be told by other idiots he is right, which is why I, for one, am enjoying the car crash that will inevitably end with his personal and professional self-destruction when the result eventually comes in the club's favour.

He gets engagement from outraged citeh fans and rivals hoping for our downfall. Harris is a sad lonely miserable **** who will become a statistic in the next few years most likely. Best to just ignore him and let the towers of pepsi max bottles and frozen pizza boxes crush him.

Whistleblower Rui Pinto given four-year suspended sentence in Football Leaks trial amid ongoing legal woes - ICIJ

Dozens of charges against Pinto — who is also the source behind ICIJ’s Luanda Leaks — were dropped due to a recent amnesty. He faces 377 charges in a separate case tied to the exposé that revealed the dark underbelly of the global football industry.

The fact he has allied himself with someone who is a convicted criminal who admitted extortion in return for a suspended sentence says it all. Pinto was caught in an undercover operation by police forces from several countries. The had his bank accounts, phone conversations, even the details of a meeting between Pinto's accoplice and representives of Doyen Sports where his victims were supposed to hand over money. Pinto admitted asking for money in return for not publishing sensitive commercial information but his laughable defence was: "I did it to test them. To see if they reacted." But this sort of blackmail strategy has been his MO in previous cases. In once incident he received £300,000 from a bank in the Cayman Islands into one of his own hidden accounts.
All this came out in the 12 month-long court case . The evidence was overwheming which is why Pinto did a plea bargain. The UK media has ignored the evidence and chosen to promote crazy conspiracy theories. The question any sane person would ask is: "Is it really plausible that all the senior people at City, and their sponsors, and their auditors, and IT people would conspire to commit fraud?" At the same time is it also plausible that all the police forces in Portugal, France, Germany and Italy (as well as Interpol) have all conspired to frame Rui Pinto? Really?

Absolutely,it's obvious Harris and sanity have long since parted company.

Because Pinto agreed with the authorities in Portugal, France, Germany, and Italy to provide details of everything he had hacked and stolen over the last decade. However the investigations into his activities are still going on and he faces further prosecutions and trials. He even hacked the Portuguese police and the prosecuting authories so he could see what evidence they had on him. Pinto hides behind the convenient mask of "whistleblower" but the evidence in his trial showed his primary motive was financial.

Please stop giving this idiot (Harris) the exposure he relishes

Who, Pete?

Pete's actually making Harris look like an idiot. The X/Twitter link goes to Pete not Harris. I wish people would stop complaining about Harris getting exposure. He's being discussed on this thread continually, almost daily, so another City fan exposing Harris for what he is, isn't giving Harris any positive exposure at all. It's turning City fans against Harris and the stupidly he posts on X/Twitter.

The **** has certainly lost the plot and needs sectioning.
