Crime & Investigation, stylized as Crime + Investigation, is the television channel feed of the eponymous American channel owned by A&E Networks broadcast in most of Europe, the Middle East and Africa. Based in England in the United Kingdom, it is owned by A&E Networks UK (a joint venture of A&E Networks and Sky Group). The channel primarily broadcasts true crime programming, and edits European versions of the original Crime & Investigation channel in the U.S.
TVT Media is responsible for the signal distribution across mainland Europe, and local subsidiaries of A&E Networks are the distribution representatives across Europe.
In Spain, it launched on 1 February 2011 replacing Buzz Negro and was named Crimen + Investigación, and it expanded in Portugal in 2016 as Crime + Investigation and it was operated by AMC Networks International Southern Europe, initially under the joint-venture The History Channel Iberia with A&E Networks/Hearst until 2021. The Portuguese version also aired in Portuguese-speaking African countries (Angola and Mozambique). They were rebranded as AMC Crime on 19 April 2022.
Its programming is mainly in English and locally subtitled or dubbed. It is available through numerous satellite, cable, terrestrial and IPTV distributors across Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
