A fraudster pocketed hundreds of thousands of pounds by selling pirated subscriptions to stream Premier League and Champions League games before fleeing the country with his dog.
Mark Brockley, who remains on the run and is believed to be living abroad, was handed a lengthy prison sentence at Liverpool Crown Court today, Friday. His exploits potentially cost BT Sport millions of pounds in lost revenue.
A trial, prosecuted by Dominic Hockley, previously heard that the 54-year-old, formerly of John Bagot Close in Everton, was involved in a "pyramid selling scheme" alongside an unidentified man known only as Freddie - who sat at the top of the operation. Brockley advertised the services of the illicit Infinity IPTV platform on social media and "recruited and controlled others below him".
