Rui Pinto decrypted hard drives in exchange for immunity, advances to Saturday

Essay

Hacker was released this month, following a change in enforcement measures.

Rui Pinto, recently released for “continuous and consistent collaboration” with the Judiciary Police, as Judge Margarida Alves explained, will have received the guarantee of immunity to the decryption of hard drives, advances the magazine.

The creator of the Football Leaks platform will have received this compensation – the other being the release from pre-trial detention – to accept decrypting the files contained in the seized material.

Because it was obtained illegally, the material in question could never be used as evidence in the investigations, serving only as “information”. Now, says Saturday, the sequence of Rui Pinto’s agreement with the Justice, it also cannot be used in inquiries in which he is suspected, such as the complaint filed by Benfica for the theft of emails.

The publication adds that it is likely that the agreement will be challenged in the courts, since the said guarantee may violate the principle of legality, since Portuguese law does not provide any guarantees for the reward of any collaboration. Benfica’s lawyers will also assess the legality of the decisions.
