Eisner - 38 - Die Kunst des Krieges

Übersicht

In a district on the outskirts of Vienna, the police make a horrific discovery of a corpse: the victim, a Turkish businessman, had his tongue and both hands cut off while he was still alive. Outwardly he was the owner of a doner kebab restaurant. For Lieutenant Colonel Moritz Eisner (Harald Krassnitzer) and his colleague Bibi Fellner (Adele Neuhauser) it quickly becomes clear that they are dealing with a power struggle in the milieu of organized crime. The dead man's apartment has all the hallmarks of an illegal brothel and the kebab shop apparently served as a money laundering facility. Through Daniela Vopelka (Kristina Sprenger) from the Organized Crime Unit, Eisner meets the young Ukrainian Victoria Oshchypko (Janina Rudenska), who was forced into prostitution in the victim's house. From her, the officers learn that the dead man belonged to a highly professional human trafficking ring that illegally brings refugees to Austria to exploit them as slave labor or prostitutes. During their research, they meetInvestigators on an old acquaintance of Fellner's from her time at Sitte, the cocky pimp Andy Mittermeier (Michael Fuith). He knew the murdered man and now seems to want to take over his territory. When Eisner tries to increase the pressure on Mittermeier, he brutally makes it clear to him that nothing and nobody will stop him. In their 15th joint case, the Austrian "Tatort" investigators Harald Krassnitzer and Adele Neuhauser in Vienna have to deal with a brutal network of human trafficking and organized crime. They are confronted with an opponent who will stop at nothing to achieve his goals. In his cleverly constructed crime story, screenwriter and director Thomas Roth also touches on current topics such as smuggling and the exploitation of refugees. The investigators are getting reinforcements this time from the former "Soko Kitzbühel" commissioner Kristina Sprenger. Janina Rudenska, Michael Fuith and Daniel Wagner also play other roles.
