Commercial Investigations Frankfurt

The economic crime faced by companies in recent years, increasingly driven by the connectivity of the World Wide Web, continues to rise both in the financial loss per offense and in the total sum of damages. In Frankfurt alone, losses caused by economic crime amount to several million euros annually. The range of offenses spans from comparatively moderate shoplifting to employee theft, goods credit fraud, expense and payroll fraud, burglary of company premises, bribery of employees, industrial espionage, and the disclosure of sensitive data (technical plans, customer files, and more).

Economic Offenses – Multifaceted Losses

Every entrepreneur sooner or later, more or less frequently, encounters fraudulent individuals in business. A client proves unwilling or unable to pay, a competitor spreads false information about your products or business conduct, a manufacturer overcharges for deliveries – the list of possible offenses is long. Some of these acts can be documented through business records and the losses pursued in court.

However, many offenses can only be proven in a court-admissible manner through research and surveillance by professional investigators, such as the commercial detectives of Aaden Detective Agency Frankfurt, for example, if a competing company poaches your clients, spies on your company computers using spyware, or illegally obtains information from your employees (breach of confidentiality).

Anomie | Lawlessness – Important Facts

In criminology, there is the theoretical concept of anomie, derived from the Greek anomia, meaning lawlessness. This term refers to a society in which solidarity has been completely lost. Based on the variety and partial unscrupulousness of the offenses that our Frankfurt detectives at Aaden regularly investigate, one might conclude that our society is approaching this state.
