In 2002, Alon quietly entered a police station and, upon giving her confession, unraveled a case that changed Israeli society.<\/p>\n<p>Investigators discovered that money stolen from the bank was siphoned to illicit casinos run by local organized crime groups, which then used it to buy sophisticated arms and advanced ammunition, fueling internal wars and giving rise to a new generation of young crime families.<\/p>\n<p><em>Embezzlement<\/em> was created and directed by Yotam Guendelman and co-written with Shira Porat. MoviePlus Productions and yes TV produced the seven-episode series. It is slated to debut on Topic in early 2023.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<em>Embezzlement<\/em> is a great addition to Topic\u2019s elevated crime and suspense catalog, curated from around the world,\u201d said Ryan Chanatry, general manager of Topic. \u201cBased on a breathtaking true-crime story, this series is made all the more enthralling through such award-winning performances. We\u2019re thrilled to make our first deal with yes Studios and bring this story to our U.S. and Canadian viewers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<em>Embezzlement<\/em> is one of those stories that are almost impossible to believe actually happened in real life,\u201d added Sharon Levi, managing director of yes Studios. \u201cIt triggers the question of, how far are you willing to go for your own family? We are excited to be collaborating with Topic on this series and look forward to bringing it to the North American viewers.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Topic and Israel\u2019s yes Studios have signed their first-ever deal, which gives the streamer the exclusive U.S. and Canadian streaming rights for Embezzlement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1412,"featured_media":17385,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[70],"tags":[3416,3466],"class_list":["post-17384","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-topic","tag-yes-studios","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Topic Acquires yes Studios\u2019 Embezzlement - TVDRAMA<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/topic-acquires-yes-studios-embezzlement\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Topic Acquires yes Studios\u2019 Embezzlement - TVDRAMA\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Topic and Israel\u2019s yes Studios have signed their first-ever deal, which gives the streamer the exclusive U.S. and Canadian streaming rights for Embezzlement.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/topic-acquires-yes-studios-embezzlement\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVDRAMA\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2022-08-22T14:11:26+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2022-08-22T14:53:52+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2017\/07\/Topic-Logo-0222.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"600\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"320\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Jamie Stalcup\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Jamie Stalcup\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/topic-acquires-yes-studios-embezzlement\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/topic-acquires-yes-studios-embezzlement\/\",\"name\":\"Topic Acquires yes Studios\u2019 Embezzlement - TVDRAMA\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2022-08-22T14:11:26+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2022-08-22T14:53:52+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/#\/schema\/person\/0da12602224807cc7b179b8405018deb\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/topic-acquires-yes-studios-embezzlement\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/topic-acquires-yes-studios-embezzlement\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/topic-acquires-yes-studios-embezzlement\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Topic Acquires yes Studios\u2019 Embezzlement\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/\",\"name\":\"TVDRAMA\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/#\/schema\/person\/0da12602224807cc7b179b8405018deb\",\"name\":\"Jamie Stalcup\",\"description\":\"Jamie Stalcup is the executive editor of World Screen.
