Overview
- Netflix premiered Murder in Monaco on December 17, revisiting the fatal 1999 penthouse blaze that killed banker Edmond Safra and nurse Vivian Torrente.
- Investigators rejected Ted Maher’s claim of masked intruders, finding his wounds self‑inflicted and securing his later admission that he started the fire.
- In December 2002, a Monaco court convicted Maher of arson causing death and sentenced him to 10 years; he briefly escaped custody in 2003 before recapture in Nice.
- The documentary recounts the official case while airing disputed accounts and alternative theories, including talk of organized crime or family involvement, without altering the legal record.
- After serving his Monaco sentence, Maher—also known as Jon Green—lost his Texas nursing license and was later convicted in the U.S., including a 2025 murder‑for‑hire case, and remains incarcerated.
