action

In a car is a young man who appears to have been executed in cold blood. It turns out to be Rico Bennini, an Italian citizen residing in Wiesbaden. A witness observed a van with company advertising quickly pulling away from Bennini's car. The investigations show that the car that was previously registered with the shipping company Schenk has already been de-registered. Chief Public Prosecutor Bernd Reuther is informed about the status of the investigation by Chief Detective Inspectors Kerstin Klar and Christian Schubert. There is a reference to the downtown Forbici Fonti barber shop where Bennini is believed to have worked. Carlo Fonti tells Reuther that Rico is his nephew from Calabria , whom his sister has entrusted to him. He only knows that Rico had an argument with his girlfriend's ex. The ex's name is Leon and lives in an old hut behind the train station. Klar and Schubert find out the full name of their friend from Leon Radeke: Sophie Schenk - from the Schenk forwarding company, whose delivery van was spotted at the scene of the crime, and according to which it was stolen.

When the suspicions increase, which indicate that Leon Radeke might have something to do with the case and Klar and Schubert want to question him about this, they find him lying in a pool of blood with a gunshot wound in his head. Reuther finds out that Frank Lage, who Rebecca Schenk lives with and who works in the shipping company, has a criminal record for violating the Narcotics Act . He was trading cannabis . After all, the haulage company drives to all large cities, such as Rotterdam , a popular transshipment point for drugs. Frank Lage is shot dead in his truck there. Reuther goes straight to the scene. Lage wanted to hide, but had no chance. The perpetrator got on the running board of the car and fired several shots through the closed window. Lage transported expensive chainsaws in which drugs were found. Reuther suspects that Lage was back in the drug business with Radeke's help.

The projectiles that can be found in the body of Lage come from the same weapon that Radeke was killed with, but do not match the first victim. The cocaine found in the bungalow was also subjected to a comparative analysis with the one found in the truck; it is the same substance. Daniel Peters from the LKA introduces himself as a specialist in drug searches. Reuther had asked for reinforcements. Peters tells Klar and Schubert that the Colombians in the port of Rotterdam smeared the situation . The market is divided, there are monopolies like everywhere else, and a situation cannot simply get involved. Sure wants to know whether it could be that the MONTELLI clan is back, which Peters was able to break up more than a year ago. Peters mentions Fonti, who has only been running his hair salon in Wiesbaden for six months. After the arrests, of course, a vacuum was created. During this time, Lage was able to build up his small business, adds Klar. Now the Italians are back and are staking out the terrain again.

Reuther is certain that someone wanted Beninni and Sofie Schenk to get to know each other. Peters notes that Fonti is definitely a member of the Montelli clan. Gabriel Cardelli was one of his henchmen who went into hiding in Germany because he got stressed with another clan in Italy - blood revenge . Luca Marini also belongs to the clan. Clearly means that they would not get a TKÜ , whereupon Peters gets excited that these judges are so far from life. That is unbelievable. Peters doesn't shy away from sneaking drugs on Luca Marini at a favorable moment in order to have something against him. Klar and Schubert do not agree with such an approach.

A machine gun is fired from a moving car at Fonti, Marini and two employees, only Fonti and Marini survive the attack. Marini shot back, the caliber matches the murders of Radeke and Lage. Peters says that a gang war is on the verge of a gang war, whereupon Reuther says, "Then we should end it before it has even started". With a feint, Reuther succeeds in proving Marini that they want to get him and his entire family out of the way. Still, he hesitates to unpack. Reuther wants to know who is flooding the Wiesbaden market with the cheap drug crocodile . Marini says he once heard something about a "Roman".

It turns out that the former police officer Tobias Röder, not Römer, is involved in the case. However, the mastermind behind it all is Daniel Peters, of all people, he just let the people he was supposed to investigate work for him. Römer was so loyal to him that he went through everything Peters asked him to do, which also has to do with the fact that his sister was killed by razors and that he no longer felt bound by the existing legal system. Shortly before Peter's arrest, Carlo Fonti and Luca Marini are shot by Daniel Peters and almost also Rebecca Schenk, which is only prevented by the fact that Klar, Schubert and Reuther show up just in time.

criticism

On the page frankfurt.stadtbus.de read: “The audience in Frankfurt / M. judged the film like this: nerve-wracking, exciting and gripping. ”For Magdeburg News it was an“ aptly cast, highly emotional series special in feature length ”. Regine Wenzel, on the other hand, wrote in the Siegener Zeitung that “it is not good for the ZDF“ Public Prosecutor ”to extend a series episode to 90 minutes - even if“ Zero Tolerance ”[…] was the start of the new season”. She further complained: “New deaths all the time, an espresso is still being drunk somewhere (the mafia!), And another twist, and even more firing, and another espresso - and in the end a police officer is actually the chief villain! Rainer Hunold and his two crime police colleagues investigated colorless and contourless, and the noble pen among the screenwriters was not at work here either. Who ever lets a character say that they have 'subjected something to a comparative analysis'? Brittle and dreary. "
