Overview

Money. Murder. Zurich.: Borchert and the murder in the cab is a 2021 television production also known by the title Der Zürich-Krimi: Borchert und der Mord im Taxi. The story follows Borchert and Dominique Kuster as they undertake the legal defense of a taxi driver named Jrg Zollinger. Captain Furrer identifies Zollinger as the primary suspect in the murder of a passenger, who is identified as an African investigative journalist named Nuka Baluba. Although the evidence points toward Zollinger and his initial testimony appears unreliable, Borchert begins to doubt the case. He becomes particularly suspicious of the speed with which public prosecutor Dietrich commits to the theory of Zollinger's guilt. As the investigation continues, Borchert, who is described as a lawyer without a license, begins to suspect that the motive for the murder is connected to Baluba’s professional research regarding child labor practices within cobalt mines located in the Congo. The film has a runtime of one hour and twenty-nine minutes and was released in Germany on February 11, 2021.
