In a series of tweets, the Ministry of Public Health has published their tales of recovery from the virus. THE controversial £300m Saudi Arabia-funded takeover of Newcastle United appears to be in serious doubt after the World Trade Organization (WTO) ruled that the country is behind a pi- rate satellite TV, beoutQ, and streaming service that offers illegal access to sporting events, according to the Guardian. While the WTo’s 130-page final report will not be published until mid-June, it is understood that the independent ruling firmly establishes that the Saudi government is behind beoutQ. It can also be revealed that the Premier League, which received the WTO report this month, made submissions against Saudi Arabia as part of the legal process. In April last year, Qatar’s Ministry of Com- merce and Industry announced that it had filed its first written submission in its challenge to saudi’s failure to protect intellec- tual property in accordance with its international obligations as a member of the WTO. Previously FIFA, UEFA, the Premier League, La Liga and others have tried to take legal action against beoutQ in Saudi Arabia for illegally streaming matches. Subsequently, a case against Saudi Arabia was taken to the WTO.
