Murder in Monaco

In 1999, billionaire Edmond Safra died in his fortified Monaco penthouse after a chaotic sequence of events. His nurse, Ted Maher, was stabbed by intruders, and the fire he set to summon help consumed the penthouse, killing Safra who was hiding in the safe room. The paranoid Safra had made enemies of the Russian mafia, and his widow had already inherited a fortune from the death of another husband under suspicious circumstances. But authorities accused Maher of staging the break-in to look like a hero, an accusation that follows him to this day. 

Netflix’s “Murder in Monaco” looks into the circumstances around the death of one of the world’s richest men. It catalogues the many players and their possible motives to see Safra eliminated. It also puts Maher under the microscope, as new events force a re-consideration of his role in the tragedy.
