It's October. Franz Leitmayr leaves town. Like every year. Because it's Oktoberfest. And he can't stand it. He has sublet his apartment to two Swedes. Batic, on the other hand, unpacks the old presents from his Croatian aunts. Because the aunts are coming to visit the Oktoberfest. Munich in a state of emergency. Barely arrived in Italy, Batic calls Leitmayr back. His fingerprints were found on the purse of a Oktoberfest visitor who was found dead that morning. Leitmayr had put the wallet back in the Italian's pocket on the way to the train station. He appeared to be completely drunk. But according to the autopsy report, he had only 0.7 per thousand. Apparently, the Oktoberfest beer was not responsible for the desolate condition of the Italian. The tox screening shows: GHB, liquid ecstasy, was in his blood.
And he wasn't the only case. GHB cases are increasing rapidly in the Amperbräu tent. And when combined with alcohol, GHB can be deadly. Nevertheless shouldthe tent cannot be closed. Batic and Leitmayr and their team face a crowd of more than 10,000 party-goers and stressed Amperbräu employees. Here, anyone could pour GHB into the beer of the guests without anyone noticing. The situation is completely unclear. What is striking is that all of the poisoning victims are young men. Christine Lerch, head of operational case analysis, sees a system in this. She believes in a lone perpetrator who commits vicarious aggression crimes. Restaurant manager Korbinian Riedl, who after the death of the old Wiesn landlord Moosrieder has to deal with his wife as his successor, is also suspicious.
The Moosried woman no longer employs people over 50 and, in Riedl's opinion, she is breaking with good old tradition. A case from a world where people earn a lot and drink a lot, a world where some work and others party, some belong and others don't.
