Die Schlecker-Entführung
Just before Christmas 1987 three masked men kidnap the children of blackmail drugstore King Anton Schlecker and 9.6 million marks, the highest ever paid ransom in the history of the Federal Republic. Only eleven years later, the crimes are solved. The public is astonished: The three offenders are of retirement age and had hidden for years, many serious crimes behind the veneer of honest men. The film tells the story of a spectacular murder case and a (nearly) perfect camouflage.
