Suspicion of criminal activity

Most official criminal investigations can only be conducted by a law enforcement agency or other relevant authorities.

But if the police do not have enough resources to investigate a potentially criminal act, then the help of a private investigator can be called in.

As Private investigators, we will investigate the suspicion of criminal activity, when the rightful authorities have not filed charges or when the crime remained unsolved.

The questions to ask:

  • was a crime committed?
  • if so; who did, what, how, when, where, and why.

Our criminal investigations include:

  • the search for evidence – gathering proof and documentation 
  • conducting interviews with witnesses, coroners, doctors, police, bystanders
  • interrogations are done by the police
  • the evidence is collected and preserved
  • depending on the case other methods of investigation are applied
  • different forensic science investigative technique is used
  • provide support to lawyers to present the evidence in the criminal court of law

 The “indicators of suspicion” in investigations lead to suspects:

The motives to commit a crime:

– money
