Rui Pinto, the Portuguese whistleblower behind the "Football Leaks" revelations, has turned his hard disks over to French and European investigators even as he fears his life is "totally stuck".
The information could open up a whole new raft of potentially damaging revelations for football in Europe.
"I am sure that there are still many things that have not been investigated," Pinto said in an interview with AFP and other French media.
Since the leaks were first published online in 2015, the salaries of superstars Lionel Messi and Neymar have been revealed and the world learned of a rape allegation lawsuit against Cristiano Ronaldo that was dismissed by a US judge.
Accusations also emerged that European champions Manchester City used a complex strategy to get around Financial Fairplay rules. The club deny any wrongdoing.
The revelations he has overseen have come at a high personal cost to Pinto, 35, who was arrested in Hungary in January 2019 and given a four-year suspended prison sentence in a Portuguese court last year for attempted extortion and unauthorised entry into computer systems.
Last week, Pinto was questioned by French anti-corruption investigators near Paris, with magistrates specialising in financial crimes also in attendance.
That interview was in relation to a French investigation into the original Football Leaks revelations that was opened in late 2016.
Also around the table were investigators from Germany, Belgium and other countries.
