action

In front of a pharmacy, the body of health insurance employee Uwe Mauroschat is found in the trunk of a burned down car . When Commissioners Stubbe and Zimmermann look around his house, they find clear signs of burglary. In the fitness room, traces of blood can be seen on a dumbbell, so that Zimmermann assumes that the burglar Mauroschat caught the burglar by surprise and that there was a scuffle. Stubbe objects that it is actually unusual for a burglar to take his victim with him and hide it in a trunk. Since Uwe Mauroschat was currently a participant in a creative workshop for managers, Stubbe asked the seminar leader. This indicates that Mauroschat left the seminar abruptly and hastily. Stubbe tries to trace Mauroschat's last path that leads him through the Sachsenwald . The inspector meets a forester who claims to have met and spoken to Mauroschat. After his presentation, Mauroschat's eyes were opened by the seminar, which is why he wanted to go back to Hamburg immediately.

Stubbe and Zimmermann deal with the victim's professional background. At the health insurance company, he was responsible for assuming benefits. He had made a lot of enemies because he had to decide against the applicants due to the regulations. One of the worst writers of complaints was Anatol Schnittke, whom Stubbe is now visiting. He learns from him that his daughter was terminally ill and has since died. In order to make the remaining time as bearable as possible for her, there were costs for palliative care that he was not reimbursed for. After surveillance recordings of the subway show that Schnittke was near Mauroschat's house on the evening of the crime, he is summoned. He states that he just wanted to talk to Mauroschat.

Surprisingly, Stubbe's colleague, Tina Rosinsky, succeeds in locating the memory card on the victim's laptop, which the victim had hidden for security reasons. It contains sensitive files that convict Mauroschat's superiors of gang fraud. Stubbe therefore confronts the person concerned, to whom he can now prove that he is working with the club operator Pjeter Berisha. He had instructed his employee Rado to look for the documents at Mauroschat after he had found out. It escalated and Rado wanted to take the injured Mauroschat to a doctor friend, so he had packed him in the trunk of the car. The doctor, who is one of Berisha's customers involved, could only determine the death of the man.

criticism

Rainer Tittelbach from tittelbach.tv said: “Somehow everyone is involved in this case. In a thriller that relies on realism, you usually find something like that silly. In the case of 'Stubbe - Von Fall zu Fall', where it is deliberate, winking and human, it creates a certain unity. However, there is a dramaturgical shortcoming: If Stubbe and Zimmermann fish for an extremely long time in the dark, the attentive Saxon from the Hanseatic city suddenly has a flash of inspiration and then everything goes very quickly. "

The critics of the television magazine TV Spielfilm rated Kassensturz rather critically: "Just elicits a tired smile" and gave the film a medium rating (thumbs to the side).

Jürgen Kirsch wrote for quotenmeter.de : “Despite the well-researched script and the convincing actors, the production [remains] dramatically a little below expectations. The resolution of the case is also difficult to understand after the tired back and forth of the preliminary investigations, because the monotonous idling over long stretches of the film does the rest and no longer reveals many connections. Nevertheless, the conclusion is not too much to devalue at second glance. Because even if it gets a bit boring in between, 'Stubbe - Case by Case: Kassensturz' remains a solid crime film for Saturday evening. "

At evangelisch.de , Tilmann P. Gangloff said: “The screenplay, which Kaspar Heidelbach was pleasantly quietly implemented by the tried and tested crime writer Michael Illner, skilfully drafts a scenario that at first glance seems completely incoherent.” “Only the resolution provides the key confused individual parts united into a whole. The question remains, however, why the man was first killed at home and then taken away in the trunk of his car. But this detail is easy to overlook. "The critic feels the film as" significantly funnier than the last contributions to the always worth seeing crime series, especially since Stubbe is unusually sarcastic a few times; but always with a friendly smile.
