Vollgas is a German crime film by Hartmut Griesmayr from 2005. It is the 269th episode in the film series Polizeiruf 110 and the 28th case for Schmücke and Schneider . After Schmücke's partner Edith dies as a result of a car accident, the investigators uncover a ring of dealers selling inferior spare parts.

action

Schmückes partner Edith Reger is driving her car on a country road when a small car approaches her at full throttle and both vehicles collide. While Edith is seriously injured and dies after days in hospital, the young woman from the other car dies immediately. As one of the police officers discovers a missing skid mark, the small car is examined by forensics . Marie Gruber also immediately discovered inferior car parts that were installed in the car. It is a matter of honor for Schmücke to take care of this case, even though the Kriminalrat is of the opinion that Schneider should do this alone.

The commissioners learn from the victim's father that he repaired the brakes himself and that his daughter had bought the spare parts at low cost. The trail leads to the self-help workshop of Axel Jaenisch, who, however, denies having sold the spare parts. Chief Customs Officer Markus Kroner is familiar with the problem of imported cheap spare parts that are sold as branded products. For years, the search for the people behind the dealers has been in vain, he says. He has known Jaenisch since school and considers him to be an absolutely responsible person who has nothing to do with this spare parts trade. The investigations of the commissioners come to a different conclusion. After they threatened Jaenisch with a judicial search warrant , he was found dead the next day near his workshop. A witness claims to have seen a man whose description fits Günter Hoffmann, the victim's father. He admits that he quarreled with Jaenisch but did not kill him. Although everything speaks against Hoffmann, Schmücke and Schneider also investigate in another direction and come across Detlef Kallus. The owner of a food import company recently became the employer of Carmen Hoffmann, the woman who died in the car crash. For Schmücke, none of this can be a coincidence, especially since Jaenisch, Kallus, workshop owner Simrock and also Oberzollrat Kroner have been playing together in a handball team for years. They confront Kroner with their assumptions and Kroner is more than surprised and disappointed at the same time. He had trusted his friends for years and was eavesdropped on by them unnoticed. Therefore he works with Schmücke and Schneider to transfer Kallus and Simrock. He can be "wired" so that the inspectors can overhear everything and meets with the two suspects. He advises them to give up their business and then lets them show you where the parts are hidden. The police officers who managed to find the hiding place are already waiting there and arrest Kallus and Simrock. The latter admits to having disposed of Jaenisch on instructions from Kallus, because Jaenisch wanted to get out of the business after the fatal accident and threatened to disclose all of their activities.
