Italy's Guardia di Finanza has announced yet another multi-location pirate IPTV crackdown in at least four regions of the country. Law enforcement operations against pirate IPTV networks are now a regular occurrence, particularly inside the EU. An announcement this week by the Guardia di Finanza, revealing a multi-location operation targeting a pirate IPTV network, is the latest in a series of similar operations over several years. The pizzeria allegedly screened PPV events on-site via illegal set-top boxes, which didn’t go unnoticed by GdF investigators who took a keen interest in the IPTV network supplying the content. The Guardia di Finanza describes an initiative of “strategic importance” due to a new approach and new set of targets.
