Locating hidden assets | Investigation & Intelligence

In order to be an effective asset tracer, it is essential that any investigator who is set to task in this specialised arena, must understand the very complex array of ever growing financial products available, and equally, how an individual or corporate body can use them to disguise beneficial ownership.

Over the last twenty years, our asset location specialists have been instructed in very high profile cases involving the late Benazir Bhutto, Slobodan Milosovic, Idi Amin, Bre-X, Polly Peck, the failure of Barings Bank, and BCCI Bank, to name but a few.

Investigation & Intelligence is often tasked to locate assets that have not been disclosed in relation to divorce matters.  Contrary to popular misconception with some who practice Family Law, this evidence is entirely useful, and often necessary in such proceedings, provided that the instructed investigators possess a good understanding of Family Law, and existing case law governing the rules of evidence.  It is also essential in cases where one party has made massive material non-disclosures, in order to gain an unfair advantage in the proceedings.

Even if we are tasked to investigate stocks and shares, trust loans, pensions or complex financial products such as fiduciary deposits, our investigators can locate the evidence, and follow established paper trails.

We also carry out investigations into serious and complex frauds, by following evidence gleaned in order to locate the perpetrators and to find out where our clients lost funds have been hidden.

We can operate in almost any domicile and jurisdiction, including notorious controversial havens famed for their privacy laws, such as: Switzerland, Lichtenstein, Cayman Islands, British Virgin Islands, Jersey, Guernsey, Turks & Caicos, Luxembourg or Bermuda for example.

Our specialists are members of the ACFE, the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners, London's Fraud Advisory Panel, and are up to speed on the latest compliance and legislative issues, such as the Sarbanes-Oxley Act 2002 (Sox), Police and Criminal Evidence Act, and the Proceeds of Crime Act.

Our asset tracers will locate hidden assets and assist you with non-disclosure and recovery operations. For more information and a free initial consultation with an investigator, call us in complete confidence on 0808 1350352 or email us at: info@corporateinvestigator.com
