The intention to withdraw protection and housing from Rui Pinto remains

The CPES intends to revoke the protection granted to hacker Rui Pinto, despite recent threats against him. Following a risk assessment by the PSP, the commission decided to end the state-provided protection that Pinto has had since 2020. His defense argued that he was not given a chance to respond before this decision. Pinto has reportedly received multiple death threats on social media, particularly after revelations about Manchester City's financial violations. The situation remains tense as the commission's new decision is expected to align with its initial stance to terminate his protection.
