Netflix announces new Spanish true crime and thriller releases

Netflix has announced the release dates and details for two upcoming Spanish productions. The true crime documentary, “¿Quién mató a la viuda del banquero?”, is scheduled to premiere on December 4. The film reconstructs the murder of María del Carmen Martínez, the widow of the former president of Caja de Ahorros del Mediterráneo (CAM), which occurred nearly a decade ago in Alicante, Spain.

The documentary explores the unresolved questions surrounding her death by gunfire and the internal family tensions regarding corporate control and inheritance. The investigation was produced by LACOproductora and is based on research by journalists Braulio García Jaén and Bárbara Ayuso.

Additionally, Netflix will release the thriller “En nombre de otro,” directed by Oriol Paulo. Starring Eduard Fernández and Mario Casas, the film follows a complex investigation triggered by a confession made on Christmas Eve. The production is the first from Juanita Films, a company founded by Paulo and Libertad Ribera.
