Germany’s Beta Film has boarded world sales on the series Other People’s Money, set to world-premiere in the Panorama strand of the upcoming Berlinale (13-23 February – see the news). The show tells a story inspired by Europe’s biggest tax fraud ever, which took place when a criminal network of megarich investors, bankers and lawyers stole €146 billion from European taxpayers.

The eight-hour series follows the culprits as well as two women from two different countries trying to put a stop to it – but the states and the banks seem to hinder their efforts at all costs.

The project is the latest addition to Beta’s Berlinale slate, led by the opening film The Light by Tom Tykwer and the Panorama title Cicadas by Ina Weisse (see the news).
