Creator of Al Ángulo TV Arrested in Paraná in Sports Piracy Case

The takedown follows a UFEIC-led probe supported by Alianza with LaLiga.

Overview

  • Alejo Leonel Warles, known online as “Shishi,” was detained on Aug. 20 in Paraná after a court-ordered raid led by the PFA’s DUOF and Buenos Aires Province’s DDI under Judge Esteban Rossignoli.
  • Authorities seized computers, mobile phones, other high-end equipment and cryptocurrency wallets, and the justice system ordered the platform blocked.
  • Investigators report the operation relied on roughly 14 mirror domains and a recently launched Android app to retransmit football, Formula 1 and other events without authorization.
  • The platform monetized through informal advertising, donations and crypto, a setup officials say exposed users to malware infections and theft of personal data.
  • The case is handled by UFEIC in San Isidro using data provided by Alianza and LaLiga, with forensic reviews of seized devices and financial tracing now underway.
