Proof of Unlawful Benefit Claims

Benefit fraud – through false statements about income, assets, or living circumstances – causes significant financial losses for municipalities and cantons. Fraudulent claimants lie or falsify documents to enrich themselves illegally. They often lack any sense of wrongdoing and are unwilling to give up their sometimes lavish lifestyles. Public administrations frequently struggle to pursue such offenders effectively due to limited financial and personnel resources for detailed investigations.

 

This is where our experienced social investigators in Switzerland come into play: we determine the actual income and living situations of suspected benefit recipients, observe them in cases of suspected illegal work, and provide municipalities and cantonal authorities with court-admissible evidence to hold offenders accountable. We are your competent contact not only in Zurich but across the entire country. If required, please email us at kontakt@kurtz-detektei-schweiz.ch or use our contact form.

A Wide Range of Investigative Services for Lawyers

Our trained detectives in Zurich also work on behalf of lawyers, for instance, to determine income in maintenance or alimony proceedings. We likewise conduct address investigations, for example in debtor tracing or child custody violation cases (such as parental abduction). A large portion of our assignments in debtor tracing originates from legal practices: rent defaulters (so-called “rental nomads”) have become an increasing issue in Switzerland, and the rise in credit and goods fraud represents another important field of activity for our agency.

 

Furthermore, we also carry out investigations for foreign lawyers and administrative authorities when Swiss residency information is required. Individuals such as alimony evaders, tax debtors, or fraudsters often attempt to hide in Switzerland. From our operations centre in Zurich, we coordinate investigations nationwide and across borders. Our professional corporate investigators in Zurich locate targets through meticulous research and provide discreet surveillance and court-admissible evidence: +41 44 5522 264.
