What happens in Ibiza, stays in Ibiza. Unless we're talking about the secret meeting of the then Austrian Vice-Chancellor Heinz-Christian Strache with an alleged Russian oligarch, in the course of which the undemocratic overthrow of the conditions in the Alpine Republic is being worked on. A private detective (Nicholas Ofczarek) and a Viennese lawyer arranged the meeting and recorded it on video, which was later published by the Süddeutsche Zeitung and SPIEGEL. The beginning of the end of the right-winger, whose inglorious appearance is the focus of the four-part Sky original. 

What reads like the pitch for a particularly implausible political satire was responsible for one of the biggest scandals in Austria in the summer of 2019. Heinz-Christian's Strache's unbelievable performance not only pushed the former FPÖ leader into the political sidelines, but also made him the main character of the non-fiction bestseller "The Ibiza Affair: Inside Views of a Scandal". Producers Quirin Berg and Max Wiedemann have now cast him in four-part series gold for a Sky Original. Refined by the outstanding ensemble of actors around Nicholas Ofczarek ("Braunschlag", "Der Pass"), which makes the gripping political thriller a beacon for the importance of investigative quality journalism.
