Netflix has set the premiere date for Angi: Fake Life, True Crime, a new true-crime docuseries from Spain.
Angi: Fake Life, True Crime (Angi: Crimen y mentira) is a documentary limited series about the murder of fashion designer Ana Páez, committed by María Ángeles Molina, aka “Angi,” as well as the suspicious death of Molina’s husband, Juan Antonio Álvarez Litben.
On February 19, 2008, 35-year-old Ana Páez was found dead in a tourist apartment in Barcelona, naked with a plastic bag covering her head. The police initially hypothesized that her death was caused by a sexual crime or a sadistic game gone wrong — until their investigation brought Angi to their attention. Given what actually happened, the media dubbed the murder “the almost perfect crime,” for which Angi is currently serving an 18-year prison sentence.
The two-part docuseries also sheds light on Angi’s past, her marriage to Juan Antonio Álvarez Litben, and the businessman’s unexpected death in 1996. The police investigation and the judicial proceedings into the death of Álvarez Litben and the testimony of family members and people close to both cases make up some of the never-before-published material that viewers will have access to for the first time.
Said director Carlos Agulló (Rosa Peral’s Tapes, The Challenge: 11M):
“The investigation surrounding Angi: Fake Life, True Crime has been laborious and also revealing. In addition to the proceedings, we have reviewed more than 2,000 pages of case files, crime reports, and family files. We have also conducted more than 60 conversations and interviews with retired police officers, private detectives and those close to both cases. We have faced a multifaceted investigation, as many as Angi’s multiple identities. It has been a challenge, a real game of mirrors, and we hope that the viewer can experience the same challenge.”
Angi: Fake Life, True Crime, a Netflix Docuseries, premieres globally on Thursday, May 1, exclusively on Netflix. (You can set a reminder for it now.)
