Football Leaks. Rui Pinto sentenced to four years with suspended sentence
Rui Pinto was sentenced to four years in prison, with a suspended sentence, in the trial of the Football Leaks case, the presiding judge announced this Monday during the reading of the ruling held at the Central Criminal Court of Lisbon.
The main defendant in the case was convicted of committing one crime of attempted extortion, three of aggravated violation of correspondence and five of illegitimate access, the remainder falling due to the application of the amnesty law approved under the Pope’s visit to Portugal and for lack of evidence.
Aníbal Pinto was convicted of the only crime he was accused of: attempted extortion, which earned him a two-year suspended prison sentence.
Rui Pinto, aged 34, was accused 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 Football Federation ( FPF) and the Attorney General’s Office (PGR), and also for computer sabotage of Sporting’s SAD and for extortion, in the attempted form. This last crime concerns Doyen and was what also led to the indictment of lawyer Aníbal Pinto.
