True Crime Zurich

What's the walk about?

Welcome to Zurich, the clean, calm and famously discreet city where trams run to the second and the lake glitters at the end of every street. But behind its polished bank facades and medieval church towers, Zurich has kept some very loud secrets: an open drug scene the whole world watched, a gunfight beneath its busiest square, a robbery so big it made headlines around the globe, and a dawn raid that shook the world of football. Our journey begins in a quiet riverside park that, not so long ago, was anything but quiet.
