Reading of Rui Pinto judgment postponed

The reading of the judgment of the Football Leaks case, which has Rui Pinto as the main defendant, was postponed to July 13, at 2 pm.

After non-substantial changes made by the panel of judges, chaired by Margarida Alves, a period of ten days was given for the defense of Rui Pinto and Aníbal Pinto to pronounce. If that happens, there will be a new court session on May 26, at 10 am, for the production of evidence.

Rui Pinto, 34 years old, is responsible for a total of 90 crimes: 68 of improper access, 14 of violation of correspondence, six of illegitimate access, targeting entities such as Sporting, Doyen, the law firm PLMJ, the Portuguese Federation of Football (FPF) and the Attorney General’s Office (PGR), and also for computer sabotage to Sporting’s SAD and for extortion, in the attempted form. This last crime concerns Doyen and was what also led to the pronunciation of lawyer Aníbal Pinto.
