Kurtz Detective Agency Switzerland*

The Canton of Ticino in the south of Switzerland is culturally closely connected to Italy. This is evident in the official language, yet Lombard is also spoken in many places. French, German and English complete the linguistic diversity of the 357,720 inhabitants (2023). Our experienced detectives in Ticino are proficient in these languages – with the exception of Lombard – and are available for commercial and private investigations in Ticino: +41 44 5522 264.

Diverse Areas of Operation of Our Private Detective Agency in Ticino

Olive groves, vineyards (Ticino has been known for high-quality wine since the 1980s), mountains, lakes and much more make Ticino an attractive region, with tourism as one of its key economic sectors. Lake Maggiore and Lake Lugano, as well as the towns of Ascona, Locarno and Lugano, are popular excursion and holiday destinations. Around twelve percent of employees in Ticino work in tourism; the service sector accounts for 74.2 percent and industry for 24.2 percent of the cantonal economy. Since the opening of the Gotthard Base Tunnel in 2016, which relieves the Gotthard Tunnel and Gotthard railway tunnel for passenger and freight traffic, the number of tourists and overnight stays has continued to increase.

Among the travellers are occasionally our private investigators and commercial detectives in Ticino, who conduct research and surveillance on behalf of clients on site. These include personal matters such as marital infidelity, address investigations and maintenance determinations, as well as corporate concerns such as employees feigning illness, fraudulent expense claims and unwanted competitive contacts. The professional investigators of our detective agency in Ticino handle assignments for locals and international clients alike, and we are of course happy to take on your case – call us for a non-binding initial consultation or send us a message at kontakt@kurtz-detektei-schweiz.ch.

Rising Crime Due to Open Borders | Ticino Detectives Conduct Cross-Border Investigations

While years ago criminals came predominantly from Italy, today it is Eastern Europeans and Asians who misuse Ticino for their dubious activities. Money laundering, drug trafficking, prostitution – politics, the courts and the police are confronted with a multitude of offences. For some perpetrators, the canton serves as a transit point: the offenders – disguised as tourists – arrive from Italy or Eastern Europe, commit their misdemeanours and crimes in Ticino or another canton, and subsequently use, for example, the open border to the Principality of Liechtenstein to flee. Organised crime is a growing problem in the canton, and even lone offenders exploit the "borderless freedom" of the Confederation.

In many cases, for example in burglary investigations, our experienced private detectives in Ticino are able to pick up the perpetrator’s trail and identify them. We have excellent contacts throughout Europe and worldwide, enabling us to locate offenders who have fled abroad. If required, seek case-specific advice from our private and commercial investigative services in Ticino: +41 44 5522 264.

The beautiful landscape of Ticino strongly promotes tourism and is therefore an important economic driving force of the canton. Pictured: the picturesque municipality of Lavertezzo in the Verzasca Valley in the District of Locarno.
