An elite narcotics unit of the Miami-Dade Police Department begins to fracture after the murder of their team captain. Lieutenant Dane Dumars and his Tactical Narcotics Team receive a tip about a stash house in Hialeah. Expecting to recover a relatively small amount of drug money, they instead discover more than $20 million hidden in the attic. Rather than reporting the find to his superiors, Dumars withholds the information and confiscates the team’s phones, effectively isolating the unit. As rumors spread and outside pressure mounts, suspicion grows within the group. What begins as a routine operation turns into a moral and psychological battle, exposing corruption not only within the criminal underworld but also inside law enforcement itself.

Republic of Korea
Set in Seoul in 1997 amid the financial crisis, Hong Geum-bo is a tough, incorruptible financial-market investigator. After a major case, she is assigned to look into Hanmin Investment & Securities, where suspicious money flows and a possible slush fund have been detected. To get evidence, she goes undercover as a 20-year-old junior employee under an alias, relying on her naturally youthful appearance. Her mission becomes complicated when her new workplace brings her face to face with her past (including an ex who has risen to a key leadership role, per some summaries). While navigating office politics and mounting risks of exposure, she closes in on the firm’s financial wrongdoing and the powerful interests behind it.

An estimated $234bn was allegedly plundered from Bangladesh during Sheikh Hasina's 15-year reign as prime minister. The FT talks to protesters, politicians, business people and experts about how the money was taken out of the country and what - if anything - can be done to get it back. A major focus of the investigation is the alleged role of Hasina’s family in foreign land purchases and offshore assets. Tulip Siddiq, Hasina’s niece and a UK Labour MP who recently served as a minister in the Starmer government, is cited in connection with high-value property holdings. Siddiq has denied the allegations, calling them politically motivated. The documentary claimed money was laundered through over-invoicing, under-invoicing, informal networks like hundi (hawala), and extensive property acquisitions abroad, particularly in London. It highlights cases involving business conglomerates, bank takeovers, and state-linked contracts, suggesting a systemic pattern of extraction.

The film tells the true story of a high school project in the 1990s that grew into something much bigger: a form of civic resistance, investigative journalism, and a powerful coming-of-age experience. At the center of the story is a group of students from Middletown High School in New York State and their teacher, Fred Isseks. Instead of traditional English classes, he offered a course called "Electronic English", where students were given video cameras and encouraged to create their own short films, reports, and documentary content. The most impactful topic they tackled was an environmental investigation – the students began researching a possible toxic waste leak in the local area, which they believed could pose serious health risks to residents. Their journalistic work turned out to be remarkably mature: they interviewed local officials, asked uncomfortable questions, searched for evidence, and demanded accountability from those in power.Their footage and reports began to circulate in the community and generate significant public attention. In essence, the students became true civic journalists – working without censorship, with minimal resources, but with remarkable persistence. The film weaves together archival VHS footage from the 1990s with present-day interviews of the former students. This experience proved to be life-changing for many of those involved. In the film, former students reflect on how their participation in the investigation shaped their views on politics, power, social justice, and their own personal priorities. Some of them went on to become journalists, activists, or researchers.

The events take place seven years after the first film. Amay Patnaik has been transferred to Rajasthan, where he begins an investigation into a charismatic but deeply corrupt politician, Manohar Dhankar, known as Dadabhai. On the surface, he appears to be a respected leader, but behind the façade lie laundered money, fictitious assets, shell companies, and close ties to the darker side of the political and business elite. Patnaik finds himself confronting a system even more sophisticated than in the first case: this time, major contractors, high-ranking officials, and local criminal networks are all involved. Step by step, he gathers evidence, carries out carefully planned operations, interrogates Dadabhai’s associates, and ultimately finds a way to reach the politician himself. Throughout the process, Amay must navigate the fine line between strict adherence to the law, ethical dilemmas, and mounting pressure from those determined to preserve the status quo. As the case unfolds, political tension rises – the investigation begins to affect not only financial interests but also the electoral stability of the entire region.
Based on a true story

The film is inspired by real events. It is not based on a single specific case but represents a composite of several high-profile tax investigations and raids conducted by the Indian Income Tax Department across various regions of the country – including Rajasthan – during the 1980s. At that time, tax authorities began an active campaign against large-scale systemic corruption. Their targets included politicians, contractors, and businessmen who concealed assets using shell companies, proxy ownership, and schemes known in India as benami – in which property is registered under someone else's name to hide the true owner. These arrangements were often accompanied by money laundering and tax evasion through extensive networks of companies and intermediaries. The operations that inspired the film were marked by a high level of secrecy, carried out without prior warning and often involving multiple locations simultaneously. In many instances, tax officers acted with the support of intelligence agencies and under significant pressure from political figures attempting to obstruct the raids or influence the investigation.

A two-part documentary miniseries about the hidden influence of money on U.S. politics. The first episode – Ohio Confidential – explores the largest corruption scandal in the history of the state: the energy company FirstEnergy bribed the Speaker of the Ohio House of Representatives, Larry Householder, by creating a secret fund exceeding $60 million to push through legislation favorable to the company; episode is based on FBI wiretaps and witness testimony. The second episode – Wealth of the Wicked – offers a retrospective look at the rise of the "dark money" culture in American politics: from the creation of the Federal Election Commission in the 1970s to the 2010 Supreme Court decision in Citizens United, which opened the floodgates for hidden political financing through super PACs (independent expenditure-only political committees) and nonprofit organizations.

Russia
The main character, Katya, a spirited and impulsive young woman who used to work as a "tequila girl," finds herself unexpectedly appointed as the deputy mayor of the small provincial town of Lisiegorsk. Completely unfamiliar with politics and administration, she initially sees her new position as nothing more than a temporary adventure. But everything changes when the sitting mayor is suddenly hospitalized, and Katya is left to assume the responsibilities of running the town. At first, she intends to simply enjoy the perks of power without taking anything too seriously. However, as she comes face to face with the real problems of the town’s residents, crumbling infrastructure, and the indifference of local officials, Katya begins to transform. Her outlook is further influenced by a local doctor named Sergey – a sincere and principled man who helps her see life from a different perspective. Gradually, a sense of responsibility awakens in Katya. She stops being "an accident mayor" and grows into a genuine leader, determined to defend the interests of the townspeople and push for meaningful change – even if it means going against those who are used to abusing power for personal gain.

When a powerful financial suspect escapes overseas after orchestrating a massive fraud scheme, a specialized investigation team is assembled to pursue him across borders. As they follow the money trail through multiple countries, the officers confront complex legal barriers, diplomatic challenges, and the sophisticated networks that protect white-collar criminals. The pursuit becomes a high-stakes battle of intelligence and endurance, exposing large-scale financial corruption and the global mechanisms that allow economic crimes to thrive beyond national jurisdictions.
Based on a true story

The film is inspired by a real anti-corruption campaign launched in China in 2014 known as “Fox Hunt” (猎狐行动). The operation was coordinated by the Ministry of Public Security of the People’s Republic of China. Its primary objective was to locate and repatriate individuals suspected of corruption, embezzlement, fraud, and the illegal transfer of capital who had fled abroad. The campaign mainly targeted so-called “economic fugitives” - government officials, senior executives of state-owned enterprises, and major business figures. Later, “Fox Hunt” was incorporated into the broader international initiative “Sky Net” (天网行动), aimed at the global pursuit of corruption suspects. According to official Chinese sources, thousands of suspects and substantial amounts of illicitly transferred funds were returned as a result of the campaign. At the same time, the operation sparked international debate. Some Western countries expressed concern over the methods allegedly used to pressure suspects and the use of informal channels to persuade them to return.
