Max Winkler, head of a pig farm, lies dead on the floor in the stable. Two Schoberhof employees find the body and notify the authorities. When Moritz and Bibi arrive at the crime scene, two Romanian cousins behave suspiciously, but don't seem to be the perpetrators. And just as the forensic investigators had begun to systematically search the stable, the automatic stable cleaning suddenly started and destroyed the few remaining traces. Little is known about the victim either: Max Winkler wanted to expand and become the big player in pig breeding in Austria. However, he was unsuccessful because the project of a feed factory, which he wanted to have built in Bulgaria with the support of the EU and in cooperation with an agricultural multinational operating from Vienna, had failed. The investigators targeted an animal protection NGO that repeatedly carried out acts of protest and sabotage at the Schoberhof. But then new movement comes into the case: Supported by an official from the European Anti-Fraud Authority and a lawyer from the European Public Prosecutor's Office, Moritz and Bibi get to the bottom of Winkler's international business entanglements. Aid fraud is likely to have been carried out on a large scale - and there was an anonymous complaint against the Bulgarian company a few weeks ago, which seems to indicate precise insider knowledge at Schoberhof.
