Deadly Greed is a television film from the crime series Tatort . The contribution produced for ORF under the direction of Wolfgang Murnberger was first broadcast on June 24, 2007. It is the 669th crime scene episode and the 17th case of the Austrian chief inspector Moritz Eisner , played by Harald Krassnitzer .
action
A mummified body is found by scuba divers in the Achensee. After the autopsy, it is clear that the man has been dead for at least sixteen years and was shot. Therefore Moritz Eisner investigates together with the responsible officer Franz Pfurtscheller and first tries to find out the identity of the deceased. The coroner gives a crucial clue when she finds a penny in the chest cavity of the victim. Research into old missing persons cases suggests that the dead person is a Heinz Borowski.
Eisner speaks with Paul Kofler, in whose hotel the man lived at the time. Kofler reports that Borowski came from the GDR and wanted to settle in Tyrol . Barely two weeks later, Borowski disappeared without a trace and a short time later his seventeen-year-old daughter came looking for her father. Since she got along well with the landlords and they had no children themselves, they adopted Sonja. When Sonja learns that her father was murdered, she wants to find out more and joins Eisner. In this way, he learns the background to their flight from the GDR. As a leading scientist, Borowski had access to research and party funds that he had embezzled and taken with him to the “West”. However, this money has disappeared and it is noticeable that the hotelier and mayor Paul Kofler, the director of the local bank Ludwig Holzer and the car dealer Max Unterberger experienced a "rain of money" a short time later. Sonja is now obsessed with finding out who murdered her father. In the documents of her foster father, she finds photos that show the three of them together with their father. Eisner is therefore clear that Kofler, Holzer and Unterberger robbed and killed Sonja's father.
When Eisner confronts the three suspects with his suspicions, they explain that Borowski felt he was being persecuted by Stasi officer Kessler, who wanted to get the party money back. While Holzer and Unterberger deny any guilt for Borowski's death, Kofler shoots himself, which Eisner regards as an admission of guilt.
In the meantime, the forensic medicine reports that the DNA comparison of the corpse does not match Sonja. A review with the aforementioned Erich Kessler, however, is positive, which does not change Eisner's assumption that Borowski was killed by the three friends because of the money. After taking a closer look at the three hunting lodge, he finds an old projectile. He then had the lake searched over a large area, which actually brought the remains of a second corpse to light. At first glance, Borowski and Kessler shot each other, but then forensic medicine can prove that Borowski died from a second, later shot.
Sonja wants to bring her father's murderer to justice at all costs and orders Holzer to go to Unterberger because she knows that he is enjoying a nap with Karin Holzer. Her plan works and Unterberger shoots Holzer out of jealousy. Eisner joins them, but cannot prevent Sonja from shooting Karin Holzer after she admitted to firing the fatal shot at Borowski.

Reviews
"Leisurely told, but exciting," said the critics of TV Spielfilm . Otherwise they acknowledge: "The way to the solution is as winding as an alpine pass road - down-to-earth staff, discreet actors and an intelligent script make the quietly told perpetrator search worth seeing."
Tilmann P. Gangloff criticizes Kino.de and says: "Despite the title [...] the case is by no means as clear as it first appears." He continues: "The excellent sound design is more than worth mentioning, by the way. an extremely careful sound collage of music and noises. Murnberger sometimes exaggerates the mirror game, but reconciles with small connecting tricks, for example when he cuts from a skeletonized skull to a skull mask, barely perceptible. The calm Harald Krassnitzer is worth seeing anyway; and not just because of his swipes at the locals. "
