Ballauf - 29 - Verraten und verkauft

Resumen

It should look like a traffic accident. But the autopsy shows clearly: Sven Uwe Schütze was first killed and then run over. A case for Max Ballauf and Freddy Schenk. In the victim's apartment, the two inspectors came across a note with the names of three students from the Albertus Magnus boarding school. What connection did the young East German fitter have to this prestigious private school? The three teenagers Marc Landauer, Daniela Paulke and Thomas Loebelt claim to have never seen the murder victim, but the two young men in particular get caught up in contradictions. The commissioners then decide to investigate separately. Disguised as a caretaker, Freddy Schenk goes in search of clues in the elite boarding school. Max Ballauf interviews themschool administration and the families of the suspects. They quickly discover a close-knit network of relationships that continues beyond the walls of the boarding school and goes all the way back to the Third Reich. The private banker Prof. Dr. Rudolf Loebelt is the main sponsor of the school. Accordingly, he maintains good relations with Siegfried Mahlmann, the head of the boarding school for many years, the father of the current headmistress. And as it turns out, Daniela's mother, the journalist Irene Paulke, also receives regular allowances from the bank. She had written a company chronicle. The history of the Loebelt private bank is closely linked to the fate of the Jewish banking family Landauer. Ballauf and Schenk are certain: the journalist knows more than she wants to reveal.
