Illegal streaming site shut after Europol action

March 14, 2021 20.00 Europe/London By Julian Clover

The Premier League is claiming another victory in its fight against online piracy.

The website Mobdro, whose online catalogue included of live TV and video content from around the world, including sports, was referred to Spanish Police and Europol by the Premier League and the Alliance for Creativity and Entertainment

Premier League Director of Legal Services Kevin Plumb said: “Mobdro’s criminal enterprise amounted to long-running and large-scale theft. These raids show we and our colleagues at ACE are committed to taking action against piracy, regardless of location.”

Charles Rivkin, chairman and CEO of the Motion Picture Association, added: “We are proud of our cooperation with the Premier League in this investigation and we send our congratulations to the Spanish National Police Cybercrime Central Unit and Europol.

It’s the latest in a series of actions undertaken by the Premier League against the pirates.
