Bag of the Collector (ru|Сумка инкассатора|Sumka inkassatora) is a 1979 Soviet detective film directed by Augusto Baltrušaitis.[1] [2]
The investigation group of the Prosecutor's Office of the USSR is charged with the case of the collectors who were burned in a car transporting airport proceeds. It is discovered that the money did not burn in the car but was removed prior to the fire. Traces of a homemade pyrotechnic device are also found at the scene. Additionally, forensic examination reveals that nerve gas was used against the occupants of the vehicle.
The team intensifies its investigation, eventually identifying the culprit as a person previously accused of creating a similar pyrotechnic device. This suspect had orchestrated a car accident involving one of the couriers in the past and used the incident as leverage for blackmail, leading to the fatal crime.
