Money Mafia

India's most audacious financial crimes, told by the people who ran them and the people who caught them.

Three seasons of long-form true crime for Discovery Channel Asia — the platform’s first true crime documentary series in India.

Seasons one and two covered white-collar and organised financial crime: the IRS call-centre scam, the Popular Finance collapse in Kerala, the Ketan Parekh stock market case and cryptocurrency fraud. Season three moved into Mumbai’s organised crime economy — smuggling, narcotics, extortion and money laundering.

The series required sustained access to law enforcement, victims and participants across multiple states, with legal clearance managed alongside editorial. It streams on discovery+ across Asia, the Middle East and Africa.
