A loosly thrown around term. I'm not aware there is any allegation these guys are involved in drug or people smuggling, prostitution, the drugs trade. All crime is 'organised' unless it is opportunistic.Football without Origi is nothing -
one of them got sent up on a bunch of unrelated charges, underage images of sexualized children, that sort of thing.
otoh, one out of 4 or 5 was charged with that stuff, not sure how that stacks up against the populace at large.dave of mutilation

Though I do agree with Nev's comment about how the sentences seem out of whack, if it is only for the illegal broadcasting and tax avoidance, when compared to what people get for rape, battery, gbh etc etc.
If what they did warrants the sentences they got, then the sentences for other crimes should be scaled upwards also but that is a chat for a different thread methinks.I don't hate people. I just feel better when they aren't around.

If you have a problem with how much Sky/BT charge then you have a problem with how much players earn/demand.
No one has a right to watch live sports. The market has, over 35 years or so, decided that live sports cost money. I'd like a brand new SUV, doesn't mean I'm entitled to one.
Sky IS too expensive, but that's because the players earn too much money.Comment

Makes it sound like they're out on the streets roughing up any other illegal streaming providers, Peaky Blinders style
