The dead man had been missing for several days, but was only reported missing by his lover Kathi. When Ritter and Stark enter the meat factory, there are no workers to be found. The boss's son, Maximilian, treats the commissioners with cool arrogance, as he is currently in contract negotiations with the Ukrainian Litvin brothers. They want to join the Merklinger company and are not bothered by the fact that the company was involved in a rotten meat scandal years ago. Merklinger's widow Christa was left by her husband a year ago. She takes the news of his death calmly, while Kathi, who is already planning to marry Merklinger. planned to collapse. Ritter and Stark learn from Merklinger's secretary of many years, Ms. Balthasar, that Merklinger used a trick and the help of subcontractor Joachim Kahle to turn Bulgarian workers into legal EU workers. Kahle's young friend Liljana is one of these Bulgarians. When she wants to flee with her brother Viktor, Ritter and Stark give chase. Knight is beaten up. He is hospitalized with a severe concussion. Stark is now forced to continue the investigation with Weber. What does Liljana have to do with Merklinger's death? Why did Maximilian not tell the police that his father had been missing for days? Stark has to unravel a web of subsidy fraud, shady dealings in the meat industry and a private tragedy. Ritter isn't really allowed to strain his head, but the case won't let him rest in the hospital either. Written by ADR Das Erste See less
