French prodco and distributor Newen Group has picked up the rights to CAPA-produced War Crimes Dealers via its distribution arm Newen Distribution.

The 1 x 52-minute doc has already been sold in Germany (ZDF Info), Denmark (DR), Finland (YLE), Middle East and Africa (AlJazeera), and Belgium (RTBF).
