Illegal Premier League streamer handed £1m fine and jail term after broadcasting games

Premier League bosses have successfully forced a criminal to pay £1m after being involved in an illegal streaming operation.

Steven King, of Coventry, was jailed for seven years and four months in March 2019 after being convicted of running Dreambox which showed English top flight games to more than 1,000 pubs, homes and clubs in the UK.

Warwick Crown Court has now ruled that he must forfeit the proceeds of his criminal activities and pay back £963,000 to the public purse within three months, or face having his prison sentence extended by an additional six years and eight months.
