Rui Pinto was attacked in Lisbon

SIC reported this Friday that Rui Pinto was allegedly assaulted in Campo Pequeno during an outing from the house where he lives under police protection. According to the television channel, the computer hacker — who was acquitted in April of 241 crimes in the ‘Football Leaks’ case — was left with a bruised eyebrow. The PSP was informed of the incident, although no complaint was filed.

It should be recalled that Rui Pinto lives in a residence at a secret location under a witness protection programme.
