Actor Recalls Peer's Plea in Swedish Crime Scandal

Actor Jeremy Havers, known for "Chariots of Fire" and "Coronation Street," plays a version of Lord Moyne in the upcoming TV series "Golden Boys." The show dramatizes Sweden's "Trustor Affair," a significant financial crime scandal from the late 1990s. Havers shared that the real Lord Moyne, Jonathan Guinness, had once sought advice from his late father, Michael Havers, who served as Britain's Lord Chancellor.

The series, filmed in Swedish and English, chronicles the ambitious financial schemes of the Posener cousins. It begins with Jisander Posener's release from prison and his subsequent plotting with his cousins. Havers' portrayal of Lord Moyne highlights the character's motivation for personal profit within the elaborate plan to defraud the Trustor investment vehicle.

"Golden Boys" director Ivica Zuback aimed for a non-judgmental approach, reflecting his own fascination with the characters. Filmed on a budget of approximately €5 million ($5.9 million), the four-part series was shot across Stockholm, London, Geneva, and St. Tropez. The series is set to premiere on TV4 on May 3, with Viaplay Content Distribution screening an episode at its London TV Screenings event on Tuesday, February 24.
