A FRAUDSTER who sold 400,000 set-top boxes which could receive TV subscription channels for free cost Virgin Media £144million a year, a court heard yesterday.
Munaf Zinga, 41, set up Rayyonics Ltd in 2005 to sell Eurovox devices for £100.
Mukundan Pillai, 42, was the technical expert and Salim Patel, 47, the delivery driver, Snaresbrook crown court in London was told.
Zinga, of Plaistow, East London, and Pillai, of *Hainault, Essex, got eight and six years in jail respectively after being found guilty of conspiracy to defraud.
Patel, of Plaistow, admitted the same charge and was sentenced to a year.
The judge called the scheme “audacious”.
