The technology region of Karlsruhe has grown into an innovative business location, partly due to the second-largest inland port in Baden-Württemberg. In addition to banks and insurance companies, entities such as the Michelin Germany headquarters, United Internet AG Europe (gmx, 1&1, web.de), the MiRO mineral oil refinery (Germany’s second-largest oil refinery), the headquarters of the dm drugstore chain and Siemens (the city’s largest private employer) are key drivers of the thriving economy. In 2015, the GDP amounted to nearly 19 billion euros, with the service sector as the dominant economic branch. Both large and small businesses must face commercial crime, which not only causes financial losses but can also lead to reputational damage if it becomes public that the affected companies, for instance, lack proper security or have staff involved in offences.
The unwanted outflow of company data, break-ins at offices and storage facilities, transport theft committed by drivers or third parties, and employee bribery – the risks of commercial crime can never be completely eliminated, but they can be significantly reduced. The team of our commercial investigation agency in Karlsruhe supports your company comprehensively: qualified IT specialists, security experts, TSCM sweep technicians and, of course, corporate investigators will gladly advise you on how to best protect yourself and your business. Likewise, we are at your disposal in case of damage: kontakt@kurtz-detektei-mannheim.de.
The largest municipal employer is the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), a merger of the University of Karlsruhe and the Karlsruhe Research Centre. In the winter semester 2016/2017, more than 25,000 students were enrolled. However, information technologies are not only of interest to students, but especially to national and international competitors and foreign intelligence services. These pose a constant threat to local companies, educational and development institutions in the form of commercial and industrial espionage as well as sabotage.
In addition to the measures already described to improve the security standards of your company, our detective agency in Karlsruhe also reviews the background of your potential business partners and current applicants for advertised positions. In this way, the risk of an insider threat is significantly reduced and you protect yourself from unpleasant surprises such as forged documents in job applications, transport and warehouse crime, goods and trade credit fraud and many other offences (more on the subject of employee crime further below). Our corporate investigators from Karlsruhe will be pleased to advise you without obligation – by phone or electronically, and of course also in a personal meeting if required.
Typical offences committed by employees include sick pay fraud, unauthorised secondary employment (often despite active non-compete clauses), time sheet fraud, expense fraud, theft and embezzlement. Worldwide, industrialised nations show the general trend that around half of all prosecutable damage to companies is attributable to their own personnel. It is therefore hardly surprising that the investigation of suspicious employees represents the most common reason for assignments handled by our detective team in Karlsruhe.
The court usability of the evidence and reports we gather enables our clients to defend their interests and enforce them in court if necessary.
The city’s 304,607 residents (as of June 2024) have entirely different reasons for hiring our qualified private investigators from Karlsruhe than the above-mentioned corporate matters: infidelity in marriage or domestic partnerships, maintenance disputes, custody issues, stalking, threats, the search for persons such as absconded debtors, lost family members or missing individuals, residential burglaries – these and many other situations burden those affected in their daily lives.
Through research and surveillance – and in missing person cases also through the use of mantrailers (scent-tracking dogs) – our experienced private investigation agency in Karlsruhe succeeds in clarifying most of these matters. We are happy to inform you free of charge and without obligation about our various approaches and investigative options, the complex topic of legitimate interest, our fees and the admissibility of our investigation reports as evidence: +49 621 9535 4001.
