A statement from the attorney general’s office Thursday said Rui Pinto, who is in custody in Lisbon after being extradited from Hungary, is accused of alleged crimes connected to the release of secret information about the financial dealings of clubs. The accusations include illegal access to data and attempted extortion. The statement says the Football Leaks website published confidential information about players’ and coaches’ contracts and transfer fees, among other things. No trial date has been set. The Football Leaks website began in 2015. European media started publishing documents the website posted, igniting scandals. _______________________________________________ BreachExchange mailing list sponsored by Risk Based Security BreachExchange () lists riskbasedsecurity com If you wish to Edit your membership or Unsubscribe you can do so at the following link: https://lists.riskbasedsecurity.com/listinfo/breachexchange
