The operation targeted 102 individuals, leading to Croatian authorities executing precautionary custody orders for 11 suspects under investigation.

The piracy activities inflicted damages exceeding €10 billion ($10.5 billion) on affected broadcasting companies, highlighting the significant financial impact of such illegal operations.

The two-year investigation revealed that the criminals employed encrypted messaging apps, false identities, and forged documents to conceal their activities and avoid detection.

Authorities discovered three main administrators of the operation located in England and the Netherlands, along with 80 control panels for streaming services found in Italy.

The operation resulted in the seizure of approximately 30 servers, 270 IPTV devices, and the takedown of 100 domains, alongside the identification of 560 resellers.

In addition to the piracy operation, authorities confiscated over €1.6 million in cryptocurrencies and €40,000 in cash, along with drugs and weapons during the raids.

Prosecutors estimate that the operation generated approximately $264.3 million in revenue each month, totaling around $3.2 billion annually.

Italian police, in collaboration with Eurojust, Europol, and various European police forces, have successfully dismantled a massive transnational video piracy network that served over 22 million users across Italy and Europe.

The illegal streaming service operated a sophisticated hierarchical organization that captured and resold content from major platforms including Netflix, Amazon Prime, and Disney+, generating an estimated €250 million in monthly revenue.

More than 270 postal police officers conducted 89 searches across 15 Italian regions, along with 14 searches in the UK, Netherlands, Sweden, Switzerland, Romania, and Croatia.

The suspects from the dismantled network are expected to face serious charges, including copyright infringement, computer fraud, unauthorized access to computer systems, and money laundering.

The Audiovisual Anti-Piracy Alliance praised the operation as a significant victory against sophisticated international piracy networks.
