MULTI-JURISDICTIONAL EXPERIENCE
A summary of Martyn’s Multi-jurisdictional experience includes:
Enhanced Due Diligence in Russia
With our successful proposal our
investigator was tasked with
investigating a Russian national that
wished to invest in a European
Investment fund. In the course of the
investigation which included
operatives on the ground in Moscow
the investigator discovered that the
letter of credit was a forgery and the
funds to be invested were the
proceeds of crime.
International individual Trace
This project was a search for a high
net worth individual based in the UK.
We engaged our International
Network to locate a person with only
the name and date of birth known.
We located the individual in Israel in
a two week timeframe, leading to
the successful reunion of an
extended family member.
Business Intelligence in the Middle East
A delicate Intelligence project that our
Investigators were assigned to was a
very complicated and diplomatic
assignment where a Royal family and
their business connections were
investigated. Our clients required
complete confidentiality and obtained a
complete i2 map of all connections.
Fraud Investigation in India
Martyn was tasked by a UK based Law
firm to investigate a Land and Property
Fraud in Gujarat India with probable
connections to persons and Property in
the UK.
We utilised our Agent in Gujarat to
undertake valuations, investigate the
transactions and research local media,
Government and Police contacts. We
coupled this with our UK research and
presented a thorough evidence based
report.
“Martyn has a great understanding of the issues we face and
provides excellent reports with ongoing intelligence that has proved
crucial in recovering losses from fraud; we hope to work with him
on future projects”
