Swindlers ***NEW SERIES***

Episode One – Julia Holmes 

In this episode, victims, law enforcement and the journalists who doggedly followed her antics tell the story of her life, crimes and ultimate downfall as well as the sad legacy of hurt and trauma she has left behind. 

Overall Series Synopsis 

This true-crime series tells the stories of some of Ireland’s most renowned con-artists and white collar criminals through the voices of the victims they scammed, the friends and colleagues they deceived, the journalists that covered the cases and the law enforcers who brought them to justice. Far from being the masterminds of victimless crimes, these fraudsters had cunning ways of defrauding friends, family members and institutions. Some of their stories are stranger than fiction. In each episode, we’ll untangle the complex web of each con and take viewers on a unique and compelling journey that explores the personalities of these swindlers, how they perpetrated their crimes and the ingenious ways they were caught. This isn’t simply about the crimes committed. It’s about how these crimes impact wider communities and leave a lasting imprint on people’s lives.
