The 41,232 Liechtensteiners (2024) enjoy a very high standard of living by European comparison. The unemployment rate averaged just 1.4 percent in 2023; the working-age population cannot even remotely cover the available jobs, which is why nearly 25,000 commuters travel into the Principality every day (2025). Liechtenstein’s economy is made up of 38.8 percent industry and 60.4 percent services. Within the service sector, banking and finance (16 percent) and tourism are particularly significant (all figures 2015). Some of the Principality’s largest employers include Hilcona AG, ThyssenKrupp Presta AG and, in the capital Vaduz, Hilti AG. Despite somewhat limited transport connections – rail links exist only to Austria and Switzerland, and road connections to other European countries are rather time-consuming – Liechtenstein is a profitable business location.

 

However, a stable economy also has its downsides: resident companies are constantly exposed to threats from third parties or even their own employees. Expense and payroll fraud, theft by outsiders or staff, unauthorised secondary employment, bribery and corruption, transport crime – a wide range of commercial offences generates a growing need for security experts and skilled investigators, all of which our commercial investigation agency in Liechtenstein provides. Our university-trained IT specialists and security experts help you protect your monetary and intellectual property, our professional and discreet commercial investigators track down offenders in the event of a loss, and in many cases we recover the stolen property for you. You are welcome to send us an initial, non-binding enquiry at kontakt@kurtz-detektei-schweiz.ch.

Search for absconded debtors in Liechtenstein

The Principality of Liechtenstein gained an unfortunate reputation due to various tax scandals, a reputation that does not reflect the reality of the small state. Certainly, many Europeans once used the “tax-free zone”, but as early as November 2013 Liechtenstein signed the international agreement to combat tax evasion. Nevertheless, like many other states, Liechtenstein still has to deal with absconded debtors, maintenance dodgers and offenders from abroad.

 

For these groups, the goal is generally not to conceal taxes from the authorities of their home countries but to evade other obligations or criminal prosecution. The open border with Switzerland, in particular, offers offenders an easy escape route into the Principality. Our experienced private investigators in Liechtenstein determine the whereabouts of the wanted individual and, if desired by the client, subsequently facilitate their apprehension in cooperation with the authorities in order to bring them before the competent jurisdiction. Our private investigation agency in Liechtenstein works for locals as well as for clients from Europe and around the world – gladly for you as well. For a non-binding enquiry, simply use our contact form or call us.

“Hohenliechtenstein”, today known as Vaduz Castle, is one of the Principality’s numerous attractions. Surveillance of tourists – particularly where there is suspicion of infidelity – and business travellers is nothing unusual for our detectives here.

Detective Agency Vaduz | Private Detective Vaduz | Private Investigator Vaduz*

The capital of Liechtenstein, with around 5,800 inhabitants (2024), is the second-largest town in the Principality after Schaan, seat of the government and parliament, and the residence of the Prince. Medieval and ecclesiastical buildings shape the cityscape, people enjoy their leisure time in the street cafés, and cultural offerings round off the image of an attractive small town with historical charm and cosmopolitan elements. The financial sector and tourism are the city’s main economic drivers; Vaduz provides 26.2 percent of Liechtenstein’s jobs (2014), making it the Principality’s leader.

 

Our detectives in Vaduz, however, have little time to enjoy the beauties of the capital located in the Oberland region. In addition to handling the highly varied field of commercial crime, we deal with personal matters such as surveillance in cases of marital infidelity, stalking and bullying, proving concealed cohabitation and much more. Address investigations, surveillance in cases of industrial espionage or undeclared work – our detective agency in Vaduz conducts investigations for private clients and businesses, thoroughly and court-admissibly, gladly on your behalf as well: +41 44 5522 264.
