Sports streaming services are popular worldwide, with different regions having their local favorites. <\/p>\nSports streaming services are popular worldwide, with different regions having their local favorites. <\/p>\n
In Latin America, the Magis TV brand is particularly popular but another name also popped up more frequently: \u2018Al \u00c1ngulo TV\u2019.<\/p>\n
Al \u00c1ngulo was available through various domain names as well as an Android app, offering access to a variety of pirated sports streams. As its logo suggests, football was a particularly popular sport on the service. <\/p>\n
The streaming service stood out as its alleged operator, known online as \u2018Shishi\u2019 (real name Alejo Leonel Warles), was both active and visible on social media. Just a few days ago, Al \u00c1ngulo\u2019s official X account celebrated 100,000 followers<\/a>, a figure that has since skyrocketed to over 125,000 today. The reasons for the increase aren\u2019t what Warles had hoped for. <\/p>\n Yesterday, Warles was arrested by local authorities in the city of Paran\u00e1, Argentina. The arrest, carried out by the San Isidro DDI, was approved by a local court following a month-long criminal investigation led by the Specialized Cybercrime Investigation Unit (UFEIC) of San Isidro, Buenos Aires.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n The investigation received key support from international organizations, including the Alliance Against Audiovisual Piracy (ALIANZA) and Spain\u2019s professional football league, LaLiga, which were both directly affected by Al \u00c1ngulo\u2019s activities.<\/p>\n At the time of writing, the main domain of the service, which received over three million visits in July, is unreachable. This suggests that the operation was effectively shut down by the law enforcement operation.<\/p>\n According to a report from Infobae<\/a>, Warles previously acknowledged the illegal nature of the service, while informing followers that \u2018no one could catch him\u2019. The alleged operator had also appeared in press interviews and was active<\/a> on YouTube as W4RLES<\/a>.<\/p>\n With this and other information, the authorities were able to connect the dots and then arrest the presumed brain behind the operation. Warles now faces charges for violating Law 11.723, Argentina\u2019s copyright law, risking a multi-year prison sentence. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n \u2018Al \u00c1ngulo TV\u2019 reportedly generated revenues through advertising and direct user donations through virtual wallets and cryptocurrencies. During the raid on Warles\u2019 home, authorities seized computers, cell phones, electronic devices, and various funds stored in the virtual accounts.<\/p>\n The defendant is represented by attorney Fernando Madeo Facente, who will file a request for Warles to be released on bail, arguing that he has no prior criminal record. The attorney sees this case as a \u201cDavid versus Goliath\u201d battle.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s similar to the case against the F\u00fatbol Libre site. They\u2019re multinational companies, and the Spanish LaLiga is involved in this. It\u2019s David versus Goliath. A very powerful company versus a kid from a humble family,\u201d Facente said, quoted by Infobae.<\/p>\n Shortly after the arrest, a fundraiser was launched to cover legal expenses and travel costs. This effort, purportedly<\/a> backed by the family, is widely shared on social media<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n According to Warles\u2019 attorney, this swift action demonstrates that powerful forces, including LaLiga, are driving the case. Rightsholders, in turn, will see it as evidence that Argentinian authorities are taking piracy seriously.<\/p>\n From: TF<\/a>, for the latest news on copyright battles, piracy and more.<\/p>\n![\"arrest\"](\"https:\/\/www.cryptocabaret.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/arrestal.jpg\")
