The lawyers claim that their client should benefit from the status of an informant in the image of Edward Snowden and Julian Assange.
Two days ago the news of the arrest of a of hackers Portuguese following an international cooperation operation initiated by the Portuguese public ministry and the judicial police. Virtually several social media have started to associate this detention with the hacker Rui Pinto, which was remarkable for the revelation of a series of dirty secrets world football in Football Leaks, but who here has become more known as "the hacker of Benfica" – or Porto, depends on perspective.

The weight of public opinion is always a nuance at stake in cases like this.
