The Portuguese hacker whose release of a cache of documents led directly to Manchester City being charged with 115 rule breaches has announced he has split with his now-ex-girlfriend.
In 2018, Rui Pinto released hundreds of thousands of documents and emails to media organisations across Europe, including those of City, which allowed the Premier League to impose charges on the former champions.
The charges related to financial information regarding revenue, details of manager and player remuneration, UEFA regulations, profitability and sustainability and co-operation with Premier League investigations.
Details of former manager Roberto Mancini's contract were leaked, as well as image-rights agreements involving Yaya Toure's agents and emails about the club's sponsorship income.
