Bribery | Corruption | Kickbacks

Bribery and corruption remain significant challenges for businesses. Employees and business partners sometimes accept illicit payments from third parties, unlawfully disclosing company secrets, awarding contracts to the highest bidder rather than the most suitable supplier, or engaging in illegal kick-back schemes.


The IHK-certified economic investigators of Kurtz Detective Agency Rostock and Mecklenburg-Vorpommern can document these offences in a legally admissible manner: +49 381 3739 0080.

Cash, Gifts, Perks, Job Offers

Corruption is not new to business – it existed long before the 21st century. Today, competitors gain unfair advantages by influencing suppliers or customers through material incentives. Revenue losses may not be immediately apparent, but quick action is crucial. Lost clients often never return, and ongoing financial damage can even threaten business survival. Our qualified detectives in Rostock and Mecklenburg-Vorpommern investigate these matters to prevent further harm.

 

Inside the company, beneficiaries of bribery are often employees acting for personal gain, swayed by clients, suppliers, or competitors. Examples include suppliers offering gifts like concert tickets, electronics, or smartphones to influence ordering decisions, or customers persuading employees to grant price reductions in exchange for future services. Detection of these irregularities may take time, and our Rostock economic investigators can conduct the necessary review: kontakt@kurtz-detektei-rostock.de.

Payments in exchange for confidential information, manipulation, or other company-damaging activities are unfortunately common. The Kurtz Detective Agency Rostock and Mecklenburg-Vorpommern identify and document disloyal employees.

Competitors Inside Your Company

Direct competitors may exploit your employees’ susceptibility to bribery. Cash, job offers, and other incentives are used to access your company data. Often, employees do not recognise their actions as illegal but merely exceed their authority, lacking awareness of wrongdoing. Nevertheless, bribery in business constitutes a criminal offence under § 299 StGB. Investigating and documenting these cases is a core function of our experienced economic investigators in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.

 

In many cases, controlled infiltration of the workplace is the most effective method to observe the offender in action. The resulting evidence is compiled into a detailed, court-admissible report.
