The French financial crimes prosecution unit the Parquet National Financier (PNF) is seeking to get full access to all the Football Leaks documents in order to pursue its investigation into alleged corruption in professional football. Mediapart and our Portuguese partner Expresso have learnt that the PNF wrote to the Portuguese legal authorities on September 9th announcing that it would soon be sending a formal request for a European investigation order seeking access to the confidential documents obtained by whistleblower Rui Pinto. The French authorities also want to question Pinto, whose documents are behind the Football Leaks revelations and also the Malta Files and Luanda Leaks.
