Rosenheim puzzles: fraudster or champion? The Jurek Leuner case is shocking!

Things are once again busy in the picturesque town of Rosenheim - today, August 12, 2025, the police are looking at an exciting case that is stirring people's minds. Under the leadership of the committed police director Gert Achtziger, the investigation into the murdered game app developer Jurek Leuner is being conducted intensively. The investigators receive support from the dynamic Laura Schmidt from Frankfurt and the clever Thomas Schmidt from Nuremberg, who create additional tension in the police station through their own family relationships.

Leuner, at first glance a successful developer, quickly turns out to be a fraudster who defrauded his financial advisor Andreas Gabler of 20,000 euros for alleged app developments. Gabler, who is one of the suspects, had placed a lot of trust in Leuner in the past. The situation is particularly unstable among this year's tournament winner Emil Rossbauer, who was in danger of losing to Leuner. Could the pressure of competition lead to a crime? These questions remain in the room as investigators delve deep into the machinations of the gaming industry.

APP Scam Threats

The gaming world isn't just struggling with internal conflicts - external threats from authorized push payment (APP) fraud are also making the industry sweat. According to the latest findings, UK players in this sector lost an impressive £459.7 million in 2023, an alarming increase of over 20% annually. These scams exploit user trust and urgently require new security strategies to protect the market. Regulators and banks are aware of the issue and are working on solutions to ensure a safe environment for both players and operators, especially in the iGaming sector.

The scammers' tactics are anything but simple: They rely on social engineering and fake apps to deceive unsuspecting players. Who would have thought that there was so much danger lurking in the digital gaming sector? In order to put a stop to such machinations, payment service providers must rethink and adapt their systems as the current circumstances require. A new introduction – Payee Confirmation (CoP) – has already carried out over 2.5 billion checks in recent years to detect fraud attempts early.

A team on an investigative mission

It's not just the gaming industry that has challenges to overcome, the investigative team also has its hands full. The constellation in the team creates tension because while Laura and Thomas Schmidt navigate their family relationship, the question remains as to how personal ties influence the investigation of the case. Thomas Schmidt plays the role of the smart investigator Moritz von Zeddelmann and Laura Schmidt plays the indispensable Marija Kovčo. They receive support from a powerful team, including investigators Max Müller and Marisa Burger, who also do everything in their power to shed light on the matter.

The colorful characters around Gert Achtziger, embodied by Alexander Duda, and other interesting characters such as Emil Rossbauer and Andreas Gabler, led by Johannes Herrschmann and Peter Marton, ensure that the investigation of the case remains not only professional but also entertaining.

How will the mystery surrounding the criminal cases in Rosenheim finally be solved? One thing is certain: the investigators give everything and have a good hand to bring the truth to light and bring justice to the defrauded players and victims.
