The illegal death is a television film and the 801st episode in the crime series Tatort . The report produced by Radio Bremen was first broadcast on May 15, 2011 on Das Erste .
action
Peer Förden, a member of a German Frontex mission, was partly to blame for the sinking of a refugee boat off the Maltese coast during Operation “Golden Fleece”, which was triggered by an overwhelmed comrade. In an attempt to fend off the refugees , the refugee boat sank. Amali Agbedra, a black African woman from Togo, is the only one to survive the disaster, stranded on the Tunisian coast and set off for Germany again, allegedly to take revenge on those responsible for this tragedy. In addition to Förden, the water police officers Elena Janson, Klaus Kastner and Robert Böhm come into question. These four officers were working together on the ship Weser 3 sailing under the German flag and are now trying to cover up the incident. In addition, Kastner increasingly falls into depression after his guilty conscience troubles him.
After Förden can no longer be found after a night of partying with his friend Stedefreund and blood stains were found in his apartment, the two inspectors Lürsen and Stedefreund become aware of the incident in the Mediterranean. The first track leads to the asylum seeker Amali Agbedra, who took Förden home with her that night. Stedefreund and Lürsen go looking for her. It turns out that she has specifically observed Förden and his three colleagues from the water police .
Janson is increasingly losing control of the situation and tries to get the Frontex boss Rupert Farr on their side. He interferes in the investigation and ensures that his authority is not further bothered. Finally it turns out that the alleged perpetrator Amali Agbedra and Peer Förden faked the kidnapping in order to expose the incident on the Mediterranean Sea. In one operation, they are the only witnesses to the shipwreck, killed by the guilty trio. They were not aware that Förden had sent a video of evidence to Stedefreund shortly before. Janson and Böhm are then arrested, while Kastner tries to take their own lives. Lürsen and Stedefreund finally manage to clear up the case and initiate investigations into the Frontex operation.
background
The Bremen team Lürsen and Stedefreund processed their 19th joint case since 2001. For Chief Inspector Inga Lürsen it was her 24th case. The film was shot from September 21st to October 21st, 2010 in Bremerhaven and Bremen. The subjects of refugees and illegal immigration to Europe were dealt with by so-called boat people across the Mediterranean. The action takes place in Bremerhaven, in Überseestadt and around the airport . The film was made in collaboration with the Munich group frontexwatch and is based on a similar case with a Greek ship.
reception
The first broadcast in the first was followed by 8.23 million viewers, which corresponded to a market share of 23.6 percent. In the advertising-relevant target group, 2.85 million viewers watched, the market share here was 19.8 percent.
Moviepilot was mostly positive and said that the "story was convincing, although the acting was often mediocre and the criticism of Frontex could have been more consistent." Niels Kruse stated on Stern.de that the episode was again a "typical Bremen crime scene." from the old do-gooder ”,“ political message included ”. However, if one subtracts “his overloaded beginning and some clichéd emotionalism”, the scriptwriter “succeeded in creating a highly emotional and exciting crime scene - in which murder almost became a minor matter.”
Claudia Hempel said in the HNA : “Author Christian Jeltsch and director Florian Baxmeyer have succeeded in telling a largely exciting story and in doing so consistently expose the political situation as questionable. The more this film gained in content, the more it lost its atmospheric density. "
