Europol has struck against a network of pirate TV. 11 people have been arrested after making, among other things, sports broadcasts available to up to 22 million users.

On its website, Europol writes that 102 suspected individuals 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 within and outside the EU".

Raids were carried out in Turkey, Italy, and the United Kingdom. But more countries, including Sweden, participated in the preparations.

Besides shutting down the broadcasts themselves and arresting suspects, Europol has also seized weapons, narcotics, and the equivalent of 1.6 million euros in cryptocurrency.
