A convicted criminal found guilty of providing illegal access to thousands of Premier League matches has been ordered to repay nearly £1million or risk a further six years and eight months in prison.
Steven King, who masterminded the fraud while trading under the names Dreambox (unincorporated), Dreambox TV Limited, and Digital Switchover Limited, was jailed for seven years and four months in 2019.
At Warwick Crown Court on Monday, King was ordered to forfeit the proceeds of his criminal activities and pay back £963,000 within three months.
The Premier League has confirmed it has requested the returned money go to the public purse.
