A Portuguese computer hacker, instrumental in exposing documents that initiated the Premier League’s investigation into Manchester City, is reportedly set to lose his witness protection status. This development comes despite ongoing concerns for his personal safety. The individual, whose hacking activities unearthed evidence that prompted the league’s inquiry into alleged financial irregularities by the football club, has been operating under a protection program. However, reports indicate this protection is nearing its end, raising fears about his vulnerability. The nature of the documents released and the subsequent investigation have placed the hacker in a potentially precarious position, leading to apprehension regarding his security once witness protection is withdrawn.
