occupation

The test is a television film from the crime series Polizeiruf 110 . The film, produced for Bayerischer Rundfunk , was first broadcast on July 3, 2005. For the investigator duo Tauber and Obermaier, it is the 10th common case that they have to solve. They have to solve the murder of a tax officer, which gives them an insight into the apparent injustice of German tax law.

action

Tax auditor and hobby alphorn player Paul Wegemann was found stabbed to death at the Munich container station. During her investigation into the victim's environment, Jo Obermaier in the tax office messes with the murder victim's colleague, the extremely thorough tax auditor Heinz Prebeck, who then subjects her husband Tarik Yilmaz and his car repair shop to a meticulous tax audit that is significantly above the usual level of a normal one Audit goes beyond what Obermaier concludes that a tax audit could absolutely be a motive. Tauber and Obermaier have the files on the victim's current audit cases, in which they look for suspicious taxpayers who have a reason for the murder from the reprisals they have suffered. The first thing they encounter is the driving instructor Harry Schlögl, who has been proven to have threatened the victim in the past because he was supposed to pay horrendous tax sums for a property sold. It is similar for Gregor Sertel, a successful tennis player who had a tax audit scheduled.

When the murder weapon is found on Harry Schlögl's former property and he does not have a valid alibi, he is temporarily arrested. Tauber finds a reference to a Mr. Voss, who fell down the stairs in his wheelchair one day after Wegemann's murder in the old people's home and has been in a coma ever since . Before he can say anything about how he was connected to Wegemann, he dies. In the pensioner's room, the investigators discovered posters of tennis player Sertel and a folder with detailed information on when and where his idol had played in recent years. It is possible that for some reason he had informed the tax office so that Wegemann could use the records to prove that, although the professional sportsman is domiciled in Monaco , it can be shown that he had played most of the time in Germany and was therefore taxable to the German authorities. Tauber and Obermaier are investigating the assumption that Wegemann should be bribed and that this may have been rejected and was therefore eliminated. To do this, they have the tennis player's bank movements checked and there they can determine cash withdrawals from various accounts, which together add up to exactly half a million euros. This way you can be sure that your suspicion of the attempted bribery is correct. You speak to Sertel's manager about it, but he denies it and the investigators have no proof of their suspicions.

Tauber comes to the conclusion that someone clearly wants to blame Harry Schlögl for the murder of Wegemann by depositing the murder weapon on his old property. They quickly concluded that Wegemann's colleague Prebeck was the only one who could know that the driving school instructor had been a customer of Wegemann and that this property could be associated with him. When they try to arrest him, he is outraged and visibly surprised. He states that his boss was also informed about examination matters and when Obermaier wants to speak to Rainer Haug about it, the latter takes flight. With a thick envelope under his arm, he tries to flee via the parking deck of the tax office, where he can be stopped and arrested by the police. The envelope tears and numerous banknotes flutter from the roof of the tax office.

Comedic scenes resulted from the situation that Tauber injured his right hand and he had to act with a bandage. Since he only has this one arm, he could not work alone as usual, but had to get help with many tasks that would otherwise be taken for granted. So he requested an assistant (Arnold Kiesler) to turn the pages of the folder for him. When he wanted to go to the toilet, he had to ask Kiesler to help him at the urinal. In addition, Obermaier's husband (Tarik Yilmaz) freaks out after days of annoying tax audits and chases the auditor away.

criticism

“'The Trial' is more of a comedy than a thriller. With irony, author Boris Gullotta and director Eoin Moore encounter the insolence of the tax office and in the meantime have almost forgotten the murder of an alphorn blowing tax officer. Local color, grotesque and nicely pointed dialogues dominate the big city ambience. The characters determine what happens and Selge and May are once again in a class of their own. "
