Wikipedia: Colors of Evil: Red is a 2024 Polish mystery crime thriller film directed by Adrian Panek and based on the 2019 novel of the same name by Malgorzata Oliwia Sobczak. The film stars Jakub Gierszał, Maja Ostaszewska and Zofia Jastrzebska. It follows the murder of a young woman in Tricity, Poland and the rookie prosecutor Leopold Bilski who teams up with the victim's mother, Judge Helena Bogucka.
We watched it, like we do all movies, in the original language with the subtitles turned on. I've never seen a dubbed movie that was convincing. Doesn't mean there aren't any, but I like the funny noises furriners make.
The rookie prosecutor notes some troubling similarities between this current murder and another one that happened 15 years ago. He becomes convinced that they got the wrong guy then and they got the wrong guy now, so wants to overturn the old case, the case that made his boss's bones. Naturally the boss isn't too happy about it. Not happy at all until the dead girl's father, who has been the kingpin's lawyer for many years, turns over a thumbdrive containing all of the kingpin's illicit business dealings. The kingpin has been responsible for many murders over the years, but he won't own up to this one. While he is a very evil man, would he really want to kill his lawyer's daughter? Something doesn't quite add up here.

In the movie, fatso gets in trouble with the king pin for selling drugs on the side, drugs he got from Russsians in Kaliningrad.
Seems I remember hearing something about the Poles wanting to cut through the barrier island the crosses the border so they wouldn't have to go into Russian waters to get to the Baltic.
