Ludo Poppe
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ludo Poppe is a producer of hit series like Peking Express, and spin-offs like Beautiful (the Belgian version of The Swan). With his production company Kanakna he signed a deal with Warner Brothers to make tv-productions for the States. With Kanakna Ludo Poppe produced Terra Incognita a series on a remote island in front of the Thai coast. During season 2005-2006 an unknown man was killed on the set by one of the guards hired by Kanakna. This was reported by a well-known investigative journalist in the Dutch programme Reporter. Allegedly Ludo Poppe decided to inform the candidates and the police only partially on what happened. Only a day after the killing the contestants played a game on the very spot the body of the murdered man had been found. A couple of innocent fishermen were arrested for this murder and jailed instead of the body guard. Though he did admit the crime to one of Poppes co-workers, this was never officially reported to the Thai police.
