Portuguese television broadcast images of the arrival of Pinto at 18 h 06 GMT on a TAP flight from Budapest.
"His arrival is expected today in the late afternoon" a spokesman for the prosecutor's office said earlier. Pinto, a Portuguese national, has been involved in a series of leaks revealing troubled transactions in European football.
the Portuguese prosecutor indicted Pinto with "aggravated extortion attempt" and data theft. He is accused of stealing data, in particular from the Portuguese State, and after trying to blackmail a sports agency, Dean, before making his revelations. The 30-year-old thinks his home country wants to "sabotage" the investigations he's helping in various European countries.
"I collaborated with the French authorities, starting a collaboration with the Swiss authorities and probably to start a new European collaboration, and Portugal suddenly sabotaged everything," he said. "I do not trust the Portuguese authorities," he added.
Pinto had been living in Budapest since 2015 and was trying to fight against his extradition. He could face 10 years in prison.
