The Judiciary Police (PJ) is going to recruit hacker Rui Pinto, creator of Football Leaks and source of the Luanda Leaks case, to be a state investigator, this Sunday reports “Correio da Manhã”. The newspaper says that Rui Pinto will collaborate with the PJ in major corruption cases, “making his computer skills available”.
Rui Pinto’s collaboration with the PJ “may, according to” Correio da Manhã “,” contemplate a new identity, with salary, house and expenses paid “. The hacker will have unlimited access to the Internet and must provide “all the data that the investigations need”.
The news of Rui Pinto’s collaboration with the authorities comes after it was reported that the hacker Portuguese, 31, will be released from house arrest, a coercive measure in force since April. Rui Pinto is accused of 90 crimes and must await trial in freedom.
After completing preventive detention between March and April, the criminal investigating judge Cláudia Pina justified the decision with the “critical sense and a willingness to collaborate with the justice” demonstrated and the “reduced danger of escape”, especially given the context of the pandemic .
