There was a manipulation when choosing the second desired "crime scene". The ARD has now announced this.
On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the "crime scene", crime fans are currently allowed to vote which of the 50 selected episodes from the past 20 years they want to watch again on Sundays. But already with the second of these votes, the popular TV series apparently had to struggle with unfair means in real life. As the ARD now announced, the voting was briefly wrong.
In a press release it says: "The voting in Germany has unfortunately been manipulated externally in the last five hours since Thursday, June 25, 7:00 p.m. In order to get the most accurate result possible, we have therefore decided to vote only into the bottom line that have been received up to that point. " The voices from Austria, on the other hand, were not affected, and were therefore "fully included in the final result".
It is not known who wanted to exert unauthorized influence on the end result. For the further rounds of coordination, however, they now want to "take appropriate safety precautions." Next Sunday (June 28th), Boerne (Jan Josef Liefers) and Thiel (Axel Prahl) will investigate from 8:15 p.m. in "Fang shot" from 2017.
