Gerard Couzens reports:

A Portuguese hacker named as the cyber criminal behind Football Leaks has been arrested in Hungary.

The 30-year-old, who media in Lisbon are claiming is a university dropout called Rui Pinto, was held following a lengthy investigation by Portugal’s Policia Judiciaria.

Pinto has been forced to deny he is the mystery individual who revealed the rape claim against Ronaldo, alleged breaches of financial fair play rules by Manchester City and the infamous Beckham emails in which he allegedly branded the honours committee ‘unappreciative c#### for missing out on a knighthood.’
