The scent of money is a television film from the crime series Tatort by ARD and ORF . The film was produced by Norddeutscher Rundfunk under the direction of Helmut Förnbacher and first broadcast on August 29, 1999. For the chief detective Paul Stoever ( Manfred Krug ) it is the 37th case; for his colleague Peter Brockmöller ( Charles Brauer ) the 34th case in which he is investigating.
In this 420th Tatort episode, Stoever and Brockmöller investigate a murder in a swamp of betrayal, deceit and jealousy.
action
The Hamburg commissioners Stoever and Brockmöller are called to investigate the murder of a florist. The man lies shot in his apartment on his pool table. At first it looks like robbery, because the small wall safe is open. The cleaning lady Milena Radenko found the victim and then called the police. Stoever becomes suspicious because the cleaning lady seems nervous to him. When some of the stolen property is found in the garden, Stoever has the place monitored and when the thief actually wants to pick up his loot, it turns out that Milena's friend Bogdan was the alleged burglar.
However, that does not mean that he must have automatically been the murderer, because the victim's wife has a lover. This Jörg Gutzeit openly admits that he has been in love with Bianca Raguse since school, but he would not kill anyone for that. After Milena and her boyfriend were interrogated, they finally admit they had just taken their chance, because after Milena found her boss dead, she would have called Bogdan and given him the valuables.
In the course of the investigation, Stoever and Brockmöller come across investment advisor Dr. Ebeling, who sold the victim extensive securities, the value of which is very questionable. Stoever therefore contacted his colleague Lippert from the fraud department, where Dr. Ebeling and his “Pearl Club” have already become conspicuous.
After the investigators received testimony from a neighbor that she saw a man run out of the Raguse house on the day of the murder, all of their suspects were called into question. She doesn't recognize any of the three from photos. By chance, Stoever runs into Andre Plötz, whom he already met at Dr. Ebeling had met. The fact that he meets him in front of Raguse's house makes Plötz look suspicious, and he takes a picture of him and shows it to the neighbor. Thereupon she recognizes without a doubt the man who very likely shot Raguse. Stoever can provide him when he is already about to leave the country. He was arrested at the airport and confessed to the crime. He had shot Raguse in a panic when he was caught clearing his safe. On behalf of Ebeling, he was supposed to have the securities disappeared through which his fraud would have become known, because Raguse had threatened Ebeling with legal action when he had noticed that the papers were worthless. However, Ebeling cannot be prosecuted by the homicide squad for this; colleague Lippert, who has already started his research, is responsible for this.
