Police in Spain have released details about a raid on an internet service provider suspected of hosting an illegal TV streaming business.

Y Internet allegedly provided unauthorised online subscription services for pay-TV channels.

The investigation was initiated by the Premier League as part of a crackdown on illegal redistribution of its live football broadcasts.
