A police operation is currently underway to combat the illegal use of Dreambox decoders with two arrests made in Larnaca so far.

According to initial reports in the Cypriot press, Police raided the Larnaca premises of a business who had allegedly been providing a service relaying dozens of TV channels to customers. These channels included Pay TV channels providing sports content, films, documentaries as well as Greek television channels.

It is reported that the police investigation was instigated following a complaint by Nova Greece to the EU for illegal use of a trademark.

The operation is being conducted across the Republic of Cyprus, investigations are continuing and further arrests have not been ruled out.
