Rui Pinto, the Portuguese whistleblower who exposed corruption in European football, will continue to receive police protection following threats against his life. Pinto's lawyers have recently raised concerns about irregularities in the legal proceedings, highlighting the serious risks their client faces.

The whistleblower, who leaked documents to German magazine Der Spiegel, has been under police protection since 2019. Pinto's revelations led to the resignation of several high-ranking officials in European football governing bodies.
