About the Network
Crimes from Europe tells the stories that English-speaking audiences have never heard — from European courtrooms, stolen museums, and spectacularly failed heists.
Every week, three shows explore a different corner of European crime. From the darkest court cases to the most ridiculous criminal failures, we bring these stories to a global audience for the first time.
The Shows
They planned the perfect crime. They failed spectacularly.
Europe's funniest real crimes. No violence, just spectacular stupidity delivered with the deadpan seriousness it deserves. New episodes every Saturday.
Hosted by Kit Barlow & co-host · Every Saturday
True crime from the continent. Told in English.
European court cases American audiences have never heard — told with the intelligence of a BBC documentary and the intimacy of Serial. New episodes every Tuesday.
Hosted by Ellis Ward & Maren Cole · Every Tuesday
The most valuable things in Europe keep disappearing.
Art theft, museum heists, and stolen treasures — from the Gardner Museum to Nazi looted art. The stories behind Europe's most dramatic cultural crimes.
Hosted by Maren Cole · Every Thursday
White-collar crime, told straight.
Narrative true crime about fraud, financial collapse, and the schemes that should never have worked. Rigorous research, dry wit, and one case per arc — from Danske Bank to Wirecard to 1MDB. For people who've burned through the obvious cases and want to understand how the fraud actually worked. New episodes every Wednesday.
Hosted by August Reiner · Every Wednesday
Editorial Standards
Every episode is researched from public court records and verified sources. We report what courts determined. We never editorialize guilt.
Our goal is journalism, not entertainment-at-all-costs. We respect victims, we cite sources, and we correct mistakes publicly.
