Commissario Laurenti is called to the coast, where Bruno de Kopfersberg's luxury yacht is found, but the owner is missing. Laurenti is not exactly a friend of the Austrian entrepreneur. He had dealt with him five years ago when he was suspected of killing his wife. Kopfersberg had destroyed all evidence so that Laurenti could not prove anything to him. Now he seems to have become a victim himself.

The next day, a young woman is found dead on the coast. After she can be identified, this leads back to Kopfersberg, because the victim was last employed by the Austrian as a "housekeeper". When Laurenti wanted to look around the dead woman's apartment, it had already been ransacked. A neighbor hands the inspector a package that Olga had entrusted to her and that she should hand over to the police in case something should happen to Olga. When the commissioner looks, he finds compromising photos of business leaders and several unclothed women. It looks like the photos were taken to blackmail the entrepreneurs. Olga had obviously appropriated the photos in order to blackmail the blackmailers, which ultimately cost her her life.

After Laurenti learns that Kopfersberg belongs to a company that was recently involved in a corruption case, he looks around and meets the managing director Viktor Drakic, the brother of Kopfersberg's current girlfriend. According to Laurenti's research, Drakic and Kopfersberg's son Spartaco had contacts in the highest economic circles and with high-ranking EU politicians, from whom they have recently received lucrative contracts. The use of illegally smuggled Eastern European women who are forced into forced prostitution is obvious. According to Laurenti's assumption, Bruno de Kopfersberg brought the girls into the country on a large scale and “sold them on” to the Russian mafia, which in turn “supplies” the girls to the whole of Europe. Viktor Drakic's extortionate activities may not have been known to him.

In the meantime, the body of Bruno de Kopfersberg is being fished out of the Adriatic Sea and for Laurenti there are some indications that his son was the perpetrator. To get him to make a confession, the inspector appears together with his colleagues Antonio and Marietta at one of the parties that Drakic and Kopfersberg have planned for the evening. When Laurenti Kopfersberg inflagranti caught making explosive recordings of the activities of some of his party guests on his laptop, he wanted to arrest him, but Kopfersberg fled together with Drakic. When they want to flee with the motor yacht, Kopfersberg loses control of the boat, which explodes after colliding with the harbor wall. Drakic is the only one to get away with his life, but remains fleeting.

Spartaco Kopfersberg had learned that his mother had been taken out of the way by his father. When he wanted to confront him with his findings, a dispute broke out, which ended fatally for Bruno de Kopfersberg.

background

Commissario Laurenti - Give everyone their own death was filmed from September 27, 2005 to December 3, 2005 at the same time as the previous first episode The Dead of the Karst on locations in Trieste . The film was produced by Trebitsch Entertainment on behalf of ARD Degeto for Das Erste . It was first broadcast on June 29, 2006 at prime time, unlike its predecessor on Thursday's slot on ARD Das Erste. The second episode to be broadcast was intended to be the opening film of the crime film series because the individual characters are presented. Ultimately, however, the decision was made to broadcast Die Toten vom Karst first, because Götz George and Hannelore Hoger featured prominently as guest stars.

criticism

Rainer Tittelbach from tittelbach.tv gave the film three out of six possible stars and came to the conclusion: “In the second case, the performance curve shows a little upwards. Henry Hübchen is also allowed to give his restless cynic a little charisma, the small family skirmishes provide for a variety of funny situations and Trieste is finally - hot. The tension fades into the background with the Hübchen type. The stereotypical action takes place on a small scale. The line is missing, the style is missing. "

The critics of the television magazine TV Spielfilm pointed their thumbs to the side and gave one of three possible points for action and suspense. For them, Give everyone his own death was a "case about prostitution with paralyzing (script) heat and" talking dolls "in front of the camera" and finally summed up: "Too many dangling, too little tension".
