A man who made nearly a quarter of a million pounds from illegally streaming football matches and selling IPTV subscriptions is believed to be on the run from police in France. Mark Brockley, 54, failed to attend Liverpool Crown Court in March.
The man was found guilty in his absence of supplying articles for use in fraud and the fraudulent evasion of income tax by selling the subscriptions that allowed users to watch content broadcasted by giants BT Sport, including Premier League and UEFA Champions games, reports the Manchester Evening News.
Brockley sold the deals through a service called Infinity Streams and was sentenced to five years imprisonment on Friday, May 5 at court but his current whereabouts are said to be unknown to investigators.
