Other people's money

Inger Brøgger becomes head of SKAT's dividend department. She quickly realises something is seriously wrong: SKAT is apparently distributing enormous sums to anonymous shareholders.

Inger's attempts to tighten tax laws are thwarted by the Danish Banking Association; when the global financial crisis suddenly breaks out in 2008, Hausner and Lebert see an opportunity to turn a profit.

Hausner and Lebert's business model is jeopardised by new legislation; Lebert considers a future without Hausner; Brøgger turns to the minister when her warning signs are ignored.

The tax official Anna Nowak refuses the refund for Hausner's new Cum-Ex fund and informs the public prosecutor Lena Birkwald; Jensen uses a dummy company he set up with Mikkel to commit a Cum-Ex fraud; Brogger wants to use the case to prove how brazen and criminal the perpetrators are without knowing that she is investigating Jensen.

Birkwald wants to take on banks and law firms internationally through Eurojust; Brøgger finds incriminating evidence against Jensen.

The former suspects are in a precarious position as searches are underway worldwide; Lebert wants a deal with the prosecution, but that means betraying Hausner; Jensen is on trial in Denmark.
