Description
De zaak Schaap: Fraude bij de Landsadvocaat is a Dutch documentary which aired on NTR. The series premiered on August 4, 2023.
Four-part documentary series about the biggest fraud in the Dutch history of the legal profession and the notarial profession.
It is known as one of the most remarkable financial frauds ever: the embezzlement of millions of euros at the office of the State Attorney, Pels Rijcken. Chairman of the board and senior civil-law notary Frank Oranje turned out to have channeled millions away over a period of more than 20 years, under the eye of his colleagues, without anyone noticing. Once the case threatened to get out, he took his own life. The question of how this mega fraud could take place is still unanswered.
