Here are the facts, none are directly related to IPTV (at this time):

Three individuals in Brazil were sentenced to a total of 14 years in prison for laundering over R$3.2 million obtained from a pirate IPTV service (MeuPlayer 2.0) that operated from 2017 to 2021.

  • RMDS (software provider) received 5 years.
  • TMDSB (sister) received 5 years.
  • GFL (associate) received 4 years.

Money was moved through personal and third-party accounts and used to buy luxury goods and investments. Over 5,000 users paid for access. Investigation was part of Brazil’s Operation 404 and supported by Alianza Contra la Piratería Audiovisual. This is the country’s most severe sentencing tied to IPTV-related laundering. IP-related charges are still pending.
