Business Investigations Stuttgart

"According to the criminal law definition of crime, all acts are criminal that are punishable under a criminal statute."

Hans-Dieter Schwind

The business detectives of Aaden Detective Agency Stuttgart operate in the Neckar metropolis, in Baden-Württemberg, throughout Germany, and internationally, providing competent and discreet investigative services for companies: +49 711 7153 011-0.

Strong SME Sector and Diverse Research Programs in the Metropolitan Region

With 14 universities and academies as well as nine research institutes, including several Max Planck and Fraunhofer Institutes, Stuttgart is a respected center for science and education. In addition, the city and the region are among the leading areas in Germany, particularly in the automotive and electronics industries, for production, supplier, and logistics companies. However, such an economically attractive region is also highly vulnerable to white-collar crime. Our business detectives from Stuttgart investigate, for example, cases of competition fraud, corruption, corporate espionage, and computer crime for affected companies and provide court-admissible evidence.

High Financial Losses Due to White-Collar Crime

Overall crime in Stuttgart reached the highest number of cases in the past 20 years in 2014*. Companies in particular are confronted not only with crimes directed against their operations, but unfortunately also with a declining clearance rate. In addition, the financial losses are enormous: in 2014, damages exceeding 820 million euros were recorded. At the same time, the number of offenses in white-collar crime declined slightly, meaning that fewer perpetrators caused higher losses. Of approximately 42 million euros, only just over 1.7 million could be secured by the judiciary. For companies, this is an intolerable situation and, depending on the size of the business, can lead to ruin, which is why our detectives in Stuttgart are continuously deployed for companies.

Double Risk: External Offenders and Employees

On the one hand, companies must protect themselves against external offenders and attacks from outside, whether through break-ins into business and storage facilities or through the spying on sensitive data; on the other hand, companies are equally exposed to disloyal employees and their activities and must cope with the loss of both financial and intellectual property. The spectrum ranges from wage and expense fraud to corruption and industrial espionage, all the way to competition fraud and extortion.

Our specialized business investigators of Aaden Detective Agency Stuttgart are available not only in the event of damage, but also for crime prevention and for the inspection of your security systems, for example monitoring of company premises, business buildings, and also your computer and IT systems: info@aaden-detektive-stuttgart.de.

Aspects of White-Collar Crime

White-collar crime has many faces; among the most common areas of activity of the Stuttgart investigators of our business detective agency are:

• Corporate Espionage | Industrial Espionage

*Although the highest value of the past 20 years is recorded for 2004, due to a change in the calculation system, too few offenses were recorded in 2003 and were correspondingly added to 2004. If the average of both years is taken, the result is 56,149 offenses. Thus, 2014 is the year with the highest crime rate.
