Dirty Money: Geldwäsche-Paradies Deutschland


“Dirty Money – Germany: A Paradise for Money Laundering” reveals how billions from drug trafficking, terrorist networks, and organized crime flow into the German economy every single day.

The film traces the path of illicit funds, exposes the methods used by money launderers, and offers exclusive insights into the work of Germany’s Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA), customs authorities, and tax investigators. It powerfully demonstrates why combating money laundering is more than just financial policy — it is a matter of national security.

At the same time, the film shows why Germany has become one of the world’s largest money laundering hubs, how investigators repeatedly hit systemic limits, and how illicit financial flows ultimately fuel terrorism and armed conflict.
