Men who set up illegal streaming of Premier League matches jailed for 30 years

An illegal streaming gang who offered lower price subscriptions for Premier League matches to more than 50,000 people have been jailed.

The Premier League said five men were convicted of conspiracy to defraud, money laundering and contempt of court after generating more than £7m in five years. Mark Gould, from London, was reported to have masterminded the operation and was handed an 11-year prison sentence at Chesterfield Crown Court on Tuesday.

The 36-year-old and co-defendants Steven Gordon, Peter Jolley, William Brown and Christopher Felvus offered illegal access to matches from hundreds of channels around the world, as well as tens of thousands of on-demand films and TV shows.
