Dishonest Employees Are the “Lice in the Fur” of an Employer | Surveillance by Rostock Detectives

In 2014, 311 cases of theft from business premises (warehouse, workshop, office and so forth), to which unauthorised persons have no access, were recorded in Rostock. In addition, there were 103 competition, corruption and official offences, 122 cases of general economic crime (for example abuse of sick leave, billing fraud) and 137 cases of computer crime (including the spying out of sensitive data), the vast majority of which were directed against companies. At times, unauthorised individuals succeed in gaining access to company buildings in order to appropriate valuables, products or confidential company information, yet frequently it is the company’s own employees who help themselves to company property and commit other criminal offences to the detriment of businesses.

 

As an entrepreneur and employer, you entrust your property and your knowledge to your staff, and fortunately most employees deserve your trust. However, the few dishonest employees can cause enormous damage through their criminal energy. From the paperclip to the notebook, from tools to production materials – company property is no more secure from light-fingered individuals than the personal property of colleagues. Even greater damage can arise from offences such as the disclosure of trade secrets, illegal solicitation of clients for covert self-employed competing activities or systematic expense fraud. Our experienced detectives from Rostock conduct surveillance of the suspect or suspects and obtain court-admissible evidence for you. We are happy to inform you about case-specific investigative options: kontakt@kurtz-detektei-rostock.de.

Our detectives have already investigated cases of theft and embezzlement involving sums in the high six-figure range, yet the far greater potential risk lies in the unlawful disclosure of sensitive internal company information.

Undercover Deployment in Cases of Internal Offences

In some cases, a standard surveillance operation is insufficient because the offences take place within company premises. An external person would inevitably attract attention and the suspect would be alerted, making it unlikely that they would commit the provable offence while the external investigator is present. For this reason, in many internal company offences, the covert placement of a detective as a purported employee is the optimal solution. Our Rostock corporate investigator – equipped with a plausible cover story tailored to the field of activity – will observe the suspect during the undercover deployment, establish inconspicuous personal contact and examine their conduct.

 

Undercover deployment, due to its complexity, is a masterful detective achievement which our skilled criminalists from Rostock command with confidence thanks to their many years of experience. This method offers the greatest possible prospect of success, yet it is associated with a considerable investment of time and costs in preparation and execution, which should always be taken into account. Obtain case-specific and non-binding advice from our corporate investigators at Kurtz Detective Agency Rostock regarding the design of such an operation.
