Detectives Investigating in the German-French Canton of Wallis

The bilingual canton of Valais is especially known for the Matterhorn near Zermatt and for its extensive ski resorts, which extend from Lower Wallis across to France. The principal town Sion, located in Lower Wallis, has 36,624 inhabitants (2023). Tourism constitutes the largest share of the Valais economy, with attractions including Europe’s highest dam (285 metres) at Lac des Dix, historic buildings, and alpine traditions. In general, Wallis is an attractive business location, reflected in its diverse manufacturing industry: chemical and pharmaceutical companies, metal processing, and the energy sector, alongside the service sector, form the pillars of the canton’s economy. A diverse and innovative economy, however, carries a high risk of economic crime, which companies must guard against—for example in patent and trademark violations, corporate data theft, and unfair competition. Moreover, companies in Valais, like in the rest of Switzerland, are affected by crimes committed by their own employees: false sick leave claims, unauthorised secondary employment, theft and embezzlement of company assets, falsified timesheets, and other offences can be legally proven through targeted surveillance.

Our trained IT specialists, security professionals, and experienced commercial detectives in Wallis support local businesses in combating crime and offenders. We investigate suspicious employees, optimise the protection of your company and factory buildings as well as IT security systems, trace perpetrators in the event of a loss, and can often recover stolen property in cases of asset crimes. In the event of data loss, our IT specialists can in most cases restore lost files and trace the perpetrators based on data movements. We are happy to advise you non-bindingly and on a case-specific basis over the phone, or alternatively, you may send an email to kontakt@kurtz-detektei-schweiz.ch.

Detective Agency in Valais for Criminal Offences and Private Investigations

The canton has 365,844 inhabitants, with an average unemployment rate of 2.7 per cent in 2024, although it was significantly higher in Central Wallis. The long-standing above-average unemployment for Swiss standards may partly explain the 19,150 criminal offences in 2023 (14,380 under the Criminal Code). 63 per cent of these were property offences. In Central Valais, 38.5 per cent of reported crimes were committed. In particular, embezzlement, fraud, and burglary show a long-term upward trend. Sharp increases were also seen in drug law violations (for example +10 per cent in 2015) and in cases of rape, which rose by more than 50 per cent in 2015, sometimes in combination with domestic violence. Based on experience, the dark figures for crimes in the family or domestic sphere are higher, as many victims do not report the offences.

Our experienced detectives in Wallis assist clients in legally proving perpetrators or, particularly in private investigations, gathering evidence for ongoing court cases, such as disputes concerning maintenance and custody. Standard investigations for private detectives in Valais also include surveillance in cases of suspected infidelity in relationships.

The Matterhorn is the emblem of Wallis, especially when the sun transforms the mountain peak into a shimmering spire. Given such sights, it is hardly surprising that tourism is the strongest economic sector in the canton.
