According to the indictment, the person is alleged to have sold IPTV subscriptions for over six years and had revenues of nearly nine million kronor. The criminal suspicions concern aggravated accounting fraud, gross obstruction of tax control, and gross tax offenses between 2018 and May 2024.
Investigators have secured assets in both cryptocurrency and ordinary bank accounts totaling nearly 600,000 kronor, according to the press release.
The prosecutor is seeking to have the defendant also subject to a five-year business ban.
IPTV is a technology that, somewhat simplified, works slightly differently than regular digitally received TV. With IPTV, the channels "reside" on a server that users access, instead of being sent out to customers. Whether the technology is legal is somewhat of a gray area.
