Asset Tracing

Our investigations team undertook a critical assignment involving due diligence and active social media monitoring of an individual alleged to have committed high-value fraud.

Operating under stringent time constraints, this fast-paced investigation necessitated the issuance of international freezing orders to prevent the further concealment or dissipation of stolen assets.

The process

Swiftly, the team successfully identified UK addresses and assets linked to the suspect.

Leveraging our advanced open-source investigative techniques, expansive datasets, and discreet investigative methods, we meticulously tracked and documented the suspect’s movements overseas.

Upon the freezing of all associated assets, including bank accounts, our team promptly facilitated the service of legal papers, ensuring swift action in accordance with the investigative process.
