Commercial Investigation Agency Austria | Corporate Investigator Austria

The Alpine Republic has just under 9.2 million inhabitants, more than 2 million of whom live in the capital Vienna and almost 3 million in the Vienna metropolitan region (2024). Austria consists largely of mountains, forests and farmland. Agriculture and forestry, along with the service sector – particularly tourism – are the most profitable industries. In 2023, the Republic generated a gross domestic product of 473.2 billion euros. Former industrial drivers such as coal mining, once one of the most important sectors, have almost entirely ceased, with only salt and various ores still being extracted, along with oil and natural gas production. Today, around 70 per cent of the economy is based on agriculture and forestry, followed by the production of wine, wood and paper.

Local companies face a wide range of business-damaging and sometimes even existentially threatening offences, committed both by third parties and by their own employees. These include, among others:

 

• various types of fraud (e.g., sick-leave fraud, accounting fraud, goods fraud, advance-payment fraud)
• unauthorised secondary employment
• theft, embezzlement, misappropriation
• data espionage and breach of confidentiality

 

This list could be extended almost endlessly. Our commercial investigation agency for Austria pursues these offences, identifies perpetrators and provides court-ready evidence.

Private Detective Agency in Austria for Infidelity and Many Other Personal Matters

Tourism is a thriving, year-round source of income in Austria: in the cold season, winter sports enthusiasts flock to Vorarlberg, Tyrol and the Zillertal, while Lake Wörth, Lake Neusiedl and Lake Wolfgang are popular summer destinations. Graz, Linz, Salzburg, Innsbruck and, above all, Vienna offer impressive cultural attractions. During their assignments, our detectives for Austria usually have little time to admire the country’s diversity, as they investigate a wide range of suspicions on behalf of private clients:

• Does the spouse remain faithful during the short holiday or business trip (infidelity surveillance)?
• Is the maintenance-obligated ex-husband truly unemployed (maintenance investigations)?
• Are the children well cared for by the ex-wife, or does she repeatedly neglect her duties (custody investigations)?
• Is there a verifiable address for debtor XY in Austria (address investigations)?

 

In these and many other cases, our experienced private investigators in Austria conduct thorough inquiries. We are also happy to take on your case. Use our contact form to describe your situation, or call us without obligation.

Clarification of Criminal Offences by Detectives in Austria

Austria has produced several famous sons whose creations, developments and insights have profoundly influenced our lives: Beethoven, Mozart, Haydn, Liszt, Schubert and the Strauss family left their mark on culture; the psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud and Karl Landsteiner, the discoverer of blood groups, revolutionised the world of medicine – and that of detectives. After all, where would our profession be today without psychological finesse in crime-fighting, interrogations and profiling? And how could offenders be identified through DNA if the distinction between blood groups had never been discovered?

 

In 2015, 517,870 criminal offences were reported in Austria, with a meagre clearance rate of 44 per cent. A worrying increase was recorded in cybercrime, which rose by 11.6 per cent to 10,010 cases. Internet fraud (7,473 cases), particularly order and goods fraud, increased by 12.6 per cent. In most cases, our IT specialists for Austria succeed in identifying perpetrators by analysing online activities, data movements and IT forensic traces, and in providing court-admissible evidence. Our experts can also work preventively, supporting you comprehensively in protecting your data and checking your computer systems when required. We will gladly advise you: +41 44 5522 264.
