A man was jailed on Thursday for two and a half years for providing illegal ‘firesticks’ to customers which showed Premier League matches.
Steven Mills, 58, ran the organisation which sold ‘fire sticks’ via a closed Facebook group and claimed to have more than 30,000 subscribers.
Trading under the names Pikabox and Eyepeeteevee, his organisation received more than £1million in five years.
Mills pleaded guilty in June to multiple fraud offences at Shrewsbury Crown Court and was sentenced following a joint investigation by the Premier League, West Mercia Police, and anti-piracy organisation FACT.
