action
The truck driver Fritz Loosli is overtired on a country road. He nods off and runs over boarder Ava Fleury. Loosli drives on and anonymously alerts the emergency call from a phone booth at a petrol station. However, the truck is seen and the police can quickly arrest Loosli.
The autopsy reveals that Ava did not die from the accident, but was killed earlier. The police therefore release Loosli again. Ava's father Laurent Fleury offers to drive him home, but drives to the scene of the accident, where he knocks him down. Then the police inform him about the murder and he lets go of Loosli.
The police learn from Ava's roommate, Svantje, that Ava has recently been together with the boarding school student Fahd Al-Numi, known as the “desert prince”. Later Svantje also states that Ava had blackmailed the art teacher Matthias Fischer, who has a relationship with Svantje.
Fahd's older brother Ali Al-Numi is a minister in an Arab emirate and is currently in Lucerne, where he enjoys diplomatic immunity . He rented the entire top floor of the Hotel National , which is de facto national territory of the emirate. The police are not able to gain access, as a search warrant would have to be obtained from the embassy of the emirate. Fahd is hiding with his brother in the hotel. The police manage to lure him outside with the help of Svantje and arrest him. As a student, he does not enjoy diplomatic immunity. The arrest triggers a small diplomatic crisis. The federal police took over the case and released Fahd, who withdrew to the hotel.
Flückiger gives Laurent Fleury a drinking glass with DNA traces from Fahd for examination. It turns out that the DNA is identical to that under Ava's fingernails. Flückiger therefore suspects that Fahd is the culprit. However, Ali's bodyguard makes a false confession and the federal police consider the case closed. Laurent Fleury takes the case into his own hands and goes to the Hotel National, where he wants to kill Fahd. Flückiger can just prevent this. Fleury is arrested, Ali and Fahd leave.

criticism
Rainer Tittelbach from tittelbach.tv rates this crime scene as a largely insignificant case, which the authors Lorenz Langenegger and Stefan Brunner tell here. The dialogues ripple away or are annoying explanatory when it says: "You have to be a diplomat, they can just do anything" or "Just because there is no rule of law down there doesn't mean that we give up ours" . In summary, Tittelbach awarded three out of six possible points.
"After the beautiful and frighteningly exciting Lucerne crime scene" you will be judged "with" Tech-Nick " Antoine Monot jr. from last summer, the Swiss are slipping into cliché again this time, ” says Detlef Hartlap , editor-in-chief of prisma . The “diplomatic entanglements, which are strongly based on the riot of a son of the Libyan dictator Gaddafi in a Geneva hotel in 2008” and which were dubbed the Libya affair , represent a political reference to real events. “There would be no opposition to such crimes as crime material times to object much, it would skillfully staged and not because, as in a Vorabenddramolett for little fantasy " , includes Hartlapp.
Sascha Martens from the Westfälische Nachrichten is of the opinion that “the contradiction between politics and the rule of law in one's own country offered a lot of potential that was unfortunately not fully exploited” . In particular, “the Swiss» Tatort «suffered from its leisurely narrative pace and the fact that many twists and turns were unnecessary.” Had “Ava's cause of death been clear from the start” , the story would have “lost nothing fundamental” .
