The cases mentioned are reconstructions based on several real-life situations, with modifications to protect the identity and privacy of the parties involved. Any resemblance to real events, places or people is purely coincidental and unintentional, in accordance with our professional code of ethics.

Case Closed 1: Hidden Assets Uncovered in a Divorce

Background: A divorcing client suspected her spouse of concealing assets and property in order to minimize his financial obligations. She was looking for solid evidence to present a complete case in court.

Investigation process: Our Lyon-based private detectives carried out a SolvencyInvestigation via an in-depth search for assets, including company shareholdings, undeclared real estate and other concealed assets. By complying with the relevant laws, we identified key evidence that helped strengthen his position.

Result: The evidence gathered enabled the client to obtain a fairer financial settlement. Her lawyer praised the accuracy and reliability of the information provided.

Case Closed 2: Surveillance of an Unfaithful Spouse

Background: A husband, concerned about his wife's behavior in recent months, noticed that she was frequently receiving messages and making calls late at night, claiming it was for work. When she began to go out more often on outings with friends that stretched until midnight, he decided to contact the INVENY agency for answers to confirm or deny the existence of an extramarital relationship.

Investigation process: Discreet surveillance was set up one evening when she pretended to be meeting colleagues for dinner. Our team followed her from their home to a neighborhood in the center of town. Shortly afterwards, she met up with a man, obviously familiar with her, and they shared a dinner tête-à-tête. During the meal, our agents captured discreet photographic evidence, showing gestures of affection such as brushing hands and prolonged glances. After the meal, the couple went to a nearby bar where they continued to share intimate moments, such as kissing and hugging. Finally, the two individuals left the bar hand in hand and headed for a nearby hotel. They entered the hotel together, and the woman didn't leave until several hours later.

Result: With detailed video and photographic evidence, our principal was able to confirm his suspicions. Although this truth was difficult to accept, he expressed his gratitude to our team for their professionalism and discretion. This information enabled him to confront the situation with full knowledge of the facts, and to decide how to proceed with his wedding.

Classified Case 3: Close surveillance of a competing company

Background: A local company noticed an inexplicable drop in sales performance and a slowdown in production. At the same time, a direct competitor seemed to be gaining ground in an unusual way, with products and strategies that strongly resembled those of the client company. The company's CEO suspected that a key employee, in charge of sensitive projects, was secretly working for this competitor, sharing confidential information and strategic data. Given the high stakes involved, he contacted our team to carry out discreet surveillance to confirm or refute these suspicions.

Investigation process: Our team conducted an Investigation in the vicinity of the competitor's premises, observing the arrival and interactions of the suspect employee. With our client's agreement, we coordinated the intervention of a court commissioner to secure and optimize evidence for legal proceedings. A court order was obtained from the competent court, allowing legal intervention to establish the facts.

Result: The company used these elements to develop a targeted legal strategy, enabling it to effectively protect its commercial interests and prevent significant financial losses linked to the fraud. In addition, the evidence gathered strengthened its case, providing a robust basis for bringing an unfair competition action against the competitor.

Classified Case 4: Locating Missing Persons

Background:
An individual wanted to find a family member he had lost sight of for several years, with whom he had no contact or recent information, but who was still important to him. He therefore decided to contact INVENY to find this person.

Investigation process:
By exploiting public databases, analyzing administrative records and conducting in-depth field research, our team was able to locate the wanted person in another region. After confirming her identity, we contacted her discreetly and respectfully. After several exchanges to clarify the client's intentions, the person agreed to re-establish contact with his loved one.

Result:
Thanks to our efforts, the customer was able to reconnect with this family member, putting an end to years of separation and uncertainty. Moved by the result, he expressed deep gratitude to theInveny team for their professionalism and dedication.

Case Closed 5: Embezzlement of Investors by a Former Partner

Context:
A Lyon business owner suspected a former associate of diverting customers and investors away from his company to finance and develop a new competing venture. This behavior directly threatened the viability and revenues of his business.

Investigation process:
Our team monitored the former partner's activities over several days, conducting administrative research and analyzing his movements and interactions. We gathered concrete evidence of frequent, secret meetings with key investors, as well as direct contact with some of our client's customers. This information revealed a well-orchestrated strategy aimed at diverting resources and poaching partners.

Result:
Detailed evidence, including photographs, videos and documented observations, enabled our customer to build a strong case. Using this evidence, he took legal action to protect his financial and commercial interests, while raising awareness among his customers and partners to limit losses. This Investigation not only stopped the damage, but also prevented any long-term repercussions for his business.

Classified Case 6: Proving a Community of Life

Background: A divorcing client was trying to prove that her husband, known for his violent behavior, was lying about his living conditions. He claimed to live alone, without resources or family support, and was seeking custody of their child. This client turned to our investigation service to verify the living conditions of her future ex-husband, and to prove a possible cohabitation.

Investigation process: We investigated the husband's real address and documented his daily activities. It was established that he was living with another woman and looking after her children, while concealing these facts from the court.

Result: The evidence gathered strengthened the client's position before the judge, demonstrating the husband's lies and supporting her claim for custody of the child.

Case Closed 7: Investigation into Counterfeit Products

Background: A company specializing in high-end products suspected theexistence of a counterfeit distribution network that was seriously damaging its brand image and causing a significant drop in revenue.

Investigation process: We carried out a meticulous analysis of suspected distribution channels, identifying illicit points of sale and following leads to the origin of counterfeit products. These investigations included strategic test purchases, discreet surveillance and close collaboration with intellectual property experts to ensure the accuracy of the evidence collected. We also traced the connections between the various players involved in this fraudulent network.

Result: The tangible evidence gathered, including documents, reports and videos, enabled the company to take legal action against those identified as responsible. In addition to protecting their brand, this action helped restore their reputation and secure their long-term financial interests.

Case Closed 8: Insurance Fraud

Context: An insurance company approached INVENY for an InsuranceInvestigation concerning an insured claiming total incapacity for work due to a road accident. The benefits claimed were substantial, but inconsistencies in the declarations and an analysis of the file by IA raised alarms and suspicions.

Investigation process: INVENY 's certified investigators verified medical documents, discreetly followed the policyholder over several days, and collected witness statements from neighbors. Using video surveillance, they captured the insured working on a construction site, handling heavy equipment. A tactful interview revealed significant contradictions in his statements.

Result: The evidence collected confirmed the fraud. The file was forwarded to the insurer, resulting in the cancellation of claims and legal proceedings against the insured. This intervention saved the company tens of thousands of euros and strengthened their fight against fraud.
