The individuals behind three pirate streaming organisations, which offered illegal access to watch Premier League matches, have today been jailed for a total of 30 years and seven months.
In what is understood to be the world’s largest-ever prosecution of an illegal streaming network, five people were sentenced at Chesterfield Justice Centre after being found guilty of conspiracy to defraud, money laundering and contempt of court.
Trading under the names, Flawless, Shared VPS and Optimal (also known as Cosmic), the fraudulent operations generated in excess of £7million in just five years.
The illegal-streaming businesses involved more than 50,000 customers and resellers, and 30 employees, one of which was positioned undercover at a specialist anti-piracy company. The organisations offered illegal access to watch Premier League matches, hundreds of channels from around the world and tens of thousands of on-demand films and TV shows.
All but one of the defendants, including Mark Gould, 36, who masterminded the operation and was one of the original co-founders, eventually pleaded guilty to all charges against them. Gould, who was described by the judge as the driving force of the conspiracy, was sentenced to 11 years in prison.
William Brown, 33, from Stoke-on-Trent, who pleaded not guilty, falsely claimed to have been an undercover informant acting in the interests of law enforcement authorities and broadcasters.
However, he was instead using his expert technical skills to hack legitimate customers’ accounts to access and copy streams and intended for them to take the blame if identified by the authorities. In February this year, following a seven-week trial, Brown was unanimously found guilty by the jury.
The investigation and prosecution by the Premier League also found significant evidence of other serious criminality. Christopher Felvus, 36, from Pontypool, has subsequently been convicted of multiple unrelated offences, including being in possession of indecent child imagery.
In addition, materials seized from Gould resulted in his further arrest by the Metropolitan Police as he attempted to leave the country. He is now the subject of another ongoing separate criminal investigation, which the Premier League is assisting.
In handing down the sentences, the Judge described a sophisticated offence involving significant planning and expertise, which involved the hacking of legitimate customers in the UK and abroad.
Pep is world-class, no doubt about it, but he's been given all the tools he needs by way of big money transfers & facilities, whereas Emery had to do it with what he inherited from the previous Management regime.
Watch: Jose Mourinho slams referee Anthony Taylor in car park after Europa League final defeat.
Roma boss Jose Mourinho has once again hit the headlines after confronting referee Anthony Taylor in a car park following his side’s defeat to Sevilla in the Europa League final.
The Italian side fell to a penalty shootout defeat to the Europa League specialists after a game that was dubbed by many as the worst in recent history. Littered with fouls, it produced an astonishing 14 yellow cards, including members of both benches and constantly threatened to boil over into a full-on melee.
The man charged with keeping everybody in order was Englishman Anthony Taylor, and many thought that he did a good job of preventing chaos, while he was also quick to spot a dive for a penalty in the first half and overturn a penalty decision in the second.
Jose Mourinho, however, felt differently.
“I must say we are used to it but seeing this kind of refereeing in a European final is really, really hard”, he told the media after the game.
Waiting in the car park after giving away his runners up medal, the ex-Chelsea and Tottenham boss then proceeded gave Taylor and fourth official Michael Oliver a piece of his mind, labelling the referee a ‘f*cking disgrace’ in a foul-mouthed rant following the display.
Arrrrrrggggggggghhhhh. Just seen our new home kit and it's fkn horrible. Might buy the blue GK shirt but no way am I spending £50 on that cheap, lazy, design. Stripes too narrow, collar is g4sh and the big white panel on the back like wtf dude.
Hope the away kit is decent otherwise it GK shirt or nothing.
