The court finds that #RuiPinto can't have whistleblower protection because he committed the crimes himself. #RuiPinto #FootballLeaks #LuandaLeaks

First mention of #LuandaLeaks in the verdict, I didn't catch the context though. #RuiPinto #FootballLeaks

Heading back to Lisbon, folks. https://www.dw.com/en/football-leaks-hacker-rui-pintos-trial-set-to-end/a-66188443 #RuiPinto #FootballLeaks #LuandaLeaks The corruption of Portuguese football and Portuguese law enforcement will be on full display.

The case of #RuiPinto continues to make its way through the Portuguese court system. This week, a verdict was postponed because the judge thinks a new amnesty law in the works to coincide with the visit of Pope Francis may impact Rui's sentencing: https://www.reuters.com/sports/soccer/football-leaks-ruling-postponed-light-new-law-popes-visit-2023-07-11/ #FootballLeaks #LuandaLeaks #MaltaFiles

Courtroom before the defendant and the judges entered the room #RuiPinto #LuandaLeaks #FootballLeaks

Ok the verdict has actually been pushed until July. In May the parties will have a chance to present any new evidence https://www.publico.pt/2023/04/28/sociedade/noticia/adiada-leitura-sentenca-rui-pinto-processo-football-leaks-2047655 #RuiPinto #FootballLeaks #LuandaLeaks

Rui has entered the courthouse in a long sleeved blue shirt with white polkadots, and green athletic shoes.#RuiPinto #FootballLeaks #LuandaLeaks The audience has quieted down and the TV cameras have left the room.

Because of how often the verdict has already been postponed and delayed, it is mostly Portuguese press here so far. Reuters, Der Spiegel, CNN Portugal, SIC, Observador, Luso, TSF, & Record are taking photos of the empty tribunal desks, as Rui doesn't want photos of himself after he enters. #LuandaLeaks #FootballLeaks #RuiPinto

Will be able to live-text the hearing. The rumour in the Portuguese press is that the verdict will not be read today and that the judge will just announce they are still deliberating. This might be a quick and short thread. But I have been allowed into the hearing and am sitting waiting for it to start in the courtroom. #RuiPinto #FootballLeaks #LuandaLeaks

At the #Lisbon courthouse for the #RuiPinto verdict today. Doors open at 9, there are about 10 media reporters here so far. #FootballLeaks #LuandaLeaks

From January 2023: "Police last week descended upon the Lisbon offices of the global consulting firms Boston Consulting Group and PricewaterhouseCoopers, according to media reports. Police also searched the headquarters of Eurobic, a bank once partly owned by dos Santos." #LuandaLeaks #FootballLeaks #RuiPinto https://www.icij.org/investigations/luanda-leaks/police-search-pwc-boston-consulting-group-offices-in-angolan-corruption-probe-against-isabel-dos-santos/

Verdict in #RuiPinto trial is expected tomorrow in Lisbon: "A trial lasting more than two years ended in Portugal last month with the accused, who has uncovered some of the most outrageous wrongdoing in football, waiting until the end of April to learn if he will be sent to prison." #FootballLeaks #LuandaLeaks https://inews.co.uk/sport/football/man-city-allegations-rui-pinto-2133076
