"Police have swooped on one of the UK's biggest illegal TV streaming gangs serving millions of viewers. Four suspects - including two women aged 21 and 40 - were arrested and 10 servers worth 750,000 seized in the war against households using dodgy fire sticks to watch shows, films and sports. One man, 49, from Bolton, is alleged to have generated more than 3 million in revenue from the operation, City of London Police said."
"Detective Constable Jordan Day, of the force's intellectual property crime unit, said: Criminals continue to provide illegal IPTV streaming services to consumers. These services are not harmless alternatives; they are examples of organised criminal operations generating millions in illegal profits. It is more important than ever that our team works to protect the integrity of broadcasting and the millions of people who rely on it."
Police seized ten servers valued at 750,000 and arrested four suspects in a major crackdown on an illegal IPTV streaming network serving millions of viewers. One suspect from Bolton is accused of generating more than 3 million in revenue. Another man from Blackpool was detained on suspicion of conspiracy to distribute infringing articles and money laundering and later released under investigation. Sky alerted detectives to suspicious activity tied to the illicit service. Investigators identified suppliers of Sky Sports, Netflix, Amazon Prime, BT and Disney+ without subscriptions. Experts warn that cheap set-top boxes can lead to large scam-related financial losses.
