The Electronic Crime Prosecution Directorate proceeded to the arrest of a 56-year-old man, against whom a case file was filed for violation of the legislation on intellectual property and on the protection of subscription services on a continuous basis.
There was a complaint, according to which an unknown person, using specialized means and applications, was decoding and illegally retransmitting subscription TV channels, for a monetary fee in the form of a subscription, while at the same time advertising his services on the internet.
The Police brought the above information to the attention of the Athens District Attorney’s Office and a preliminary examination was ordered, while the investigation and the analysis of the resulting digital data established the involvement of the 56-year-old in the case.
A search of his home revealed the use of unauthorized equipment, suitably modified to relay the content of two subscription companies, without the legal subscription and permission. At the same time, a mobile phone, an Android Box device and 3 USB sticks were found and confiscated.
The arrested person was taken to the competent prosecuting authority.
