He planted bombs, blackmailed department stores, fooled the police and kept the media and people busy: Arno Funke. In the early 90s, he was up to mischief under the pseudonym “Scrooge”. He electrified the public with his extraordinary money transfers and kept the newly reunified FRG in suspense. From Wednesday, October 2, the new, six-part RTL+ series “Ich bin Dagobert” - inspired by Arno Funke's story - tells the story of the simple car painter who became the most dazzling duck in the German criminal pond. A game of cat and mouse with a duck - based on a true story: thanks to exclusive insights from Arno Funke, who advised the production, “Ich bin Dagobert” shows the person behind the dazzling criminal and portrays a highly talented man who looked into the abyss, but always retained his optimism and was able to laugh at himself. With a mixture of suspense and humor and visually impressive, the series tells one of the most spectacular and longest blackmail cases in German criminal history. The series takes viewers into the world of the 90s - a formative era in recent German history with iconic music, fashion and culture...(RTL+)
