Customer cases
We were engaged by a major gambling company regarding an investigation into one of its patrons. The subject made frequent high stakes gambles, but their source of wealth could not be sufficiently proven.
We conducted the investigation in two phases: the first was an open source data collection phase, where we compiled an extensive portfolio on the subject using information from open sources and proprietary databases.
In the second phase, we received approval from the client for discreet human source inquiries. We reached out to a small number of contacts that had knowledge of the subject and who were able to provide information on the subject’s connection to crime networks through family relations.
Compliance client
We were engaged by a large corporation who requested investigations related to the acquisition of exploration rights to an oil concession in a country in Africa. The concession had already gone through several rounds of exploration.
In the project’s initial phase we conducted a country and market risk assessment, as well as compiling information in the concession, the selling company and its owners and executives.
Thereafter we reached out to contacts with knowledge of the African energy industry. Through these discreet conversations, we were able to provide evidence that exploration was hampered by significant government corruption and that several actors had attempted to develop the concession without results.
