I think they claim not and that he only gave them only some of the info, this is from what Football Leaks claims to be around 70 million documents and more than 3.4 terabytes of information which is a hell of a lot of hacking.Sorry for my ignorance, and it may already have been mentioned in this 850+ thread (There is no way I'm trawling back through all this), but if Der Spiegel gave any money or incentive for Pinto to give them this data, surely this would be at a minimum, handling stolen goods. They are basically supporting illegal activity.
If Pinto gave it over free of charge, under the guise of whistle blower, I suppose this would negate my above comment mind.
He wanted the stories hidden in the material to be told – entire stories and not just fragments. So he handed his data over to Spiegel: eight portable hard drives containing 18.6 million documents, including original contracts complete with secret subsidiary agreements, emails, Word files, Excel charts and photos. The data reaches into 2016 and takes up a total of 1.9 terabytes of memory. That is roughly the equivalent of 500,000 Bibles.

It was Pinto's lawyer who claimed Pinto "should not be in jail." His most famous previous client was Julian Assange. That didn't go so well.
What is interesting is that the football leaks cache has been described as one of the world's biggest ever data hacks but only a small fraction has been published by Der Spiegel. I wonder what is in the rest of the data? This saga would make a great movie.
I wonder if City are mentioned anywhere within the 147 charges. Presumably the charges will be published somewhere at some point. Given the extension granted to Pinto's custody period and the millions of documents involved you can only assume that this is the tip of a very large iceberg. The UK media have already started to make Pinto out as some sort of saint despite him being caught with 300,000 Euros which had been hacked from a Cayman Islands bank account. Whistleblower my arse!I’m sure there’s plenty of dirt in those emails. Hopefully some of it will see the light of day. We all know the old elite have plenty to hide.
Not seen this story before. It suggests strongly that Pinto has used a false identity to demand money from Doyen Sports. If this is part of the evidence the police have got Pinto is going to jail for a long time.I think they claim not and that he only gave them only some of the info, this is from what Football Leaks claims to be around 70 million documents and more than 3.4 terabytes of information which is a hell of a lot of hacking.

This Gulf News story suggests that one of allegations suggests he demanded between 500,000 and 1 million Euros from agents for Sporting Lisbon to stop pubication in the media of data he had stolen.I’m sure there’s plenty of dirt in those emails.

I do wonder. Perhaps that's why City have always been so confident that the UEFA action would go nowhere. Unless Pinto is cleared, and that seems very unlikely, UEFA can't possibly act against City without also taking action against any other clubs mentioned in the 70 million documents. That's assuming the flawed process even gets off the ground.You wonder if he tried similar with PSG and ourselves...?

When you look on Google this story is huge news across the world but the UK media are strangely silent. It just doesn't suit the anti-City narrative does it? Just weeks ago the British media were running ridiculous stories that UEFA were set to sanction City. They must be total morons.
