Legal authorities in Europe have struck against a pirate-TV network. 11 people in Croatia have been arrested after making, among other things, sports broadcasts available to around 22 million users. Sweden has also been involved in the operation.
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 Swedish Prosecution Authority.
No arrests have been made in Sweden, however.
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 within and outside the EU".
In addition to shutting down the broadcasts and arresting suspects, police in various countries have also seized weapons, narcotics, and the equivalent of 1.6 million euros in cryptocurrency.
Corrected: Correcting in which countries and how the operation was carried out in the case.
