Legal authorities in Europe have cracked down on a network of pirated TV. 11 people in Croatia have been arrested after making, among other things, sports broadcasts available to up to 22 million users. Sweden has also been involved in the crackdown.
– Two house searches have been carried out at addresses in Skåne, says Kristoffer Nordström, senior prosecutor at the national unit for international and organized crime at the Public Prosecutor’s Office.
However, no arrests have been made in Sweden.
On its website, Europol writes that 102 suspects in the network have been identified and that 29 servers have been seized in what is described as “one of the largest illegal streaming networks inside and outside the EU”.
In addition to shutting down the broadcasts themselves and arresting suspects, police in various countries have also seized weapons, drugs and the equivalent of 1.6 million euros in cryptocurrency.
