A DERBYSHIRE man who ran a website selling products that gave illegal access to Sky television has been ordered to pay back £18,000.
An investigation began in December 2012, when police were contacted by BSkyB investigators regarding a website registered to an address in Derbyshire offering reduced price subscriptions to their premium channels.
Inquiries revealed the website was registered to Paul Chambers, of Bennett Street, Long Eaton, who was arrested at his home address.
He was later charged with supplying articles for use in fraud and concealing criminal property.
Chambers, 49, pleaded guilty to the offences at Derby Crown Court and was given an 18 month sentence, suspended for two years in August 2013.
At a hearing at Derby Crown Court, it was assessed that Chambers' criminal benefit was £18,000.
He was handed a confiscation order for the same amount. He has six months to pay the order.
