A criminal lawyer from Basel hires Privatdetektei Ryffel AG to uncover the source of repeated defamation against his client in a radio program broadcast from Munich. Through tactical investigations and building a trusting relationship with the moderator, the detective agency succeeds in identifying the responsible person, having them removed from the management team, and thereby ending the negative reporting.
Initial Situation:
A prominent client of a Basel defense lawyer is repeatedly mentioned in a derogatory manner on a Munich radio show. The lawyer suspects that internal informants are supplying the moderator with information and needs solid evidence to initiate legal action.
Privatdetektei Ryffel AG is brought in:
The detective agency opts for a discreet approach to uncover the identity of the person operating behind the scenes. They rent an office in the same building as the radio station and, under the guise of normal business activities, establish contact with the moderator.
Investigation Process:
Through shared lunches and targeted conversation techniques (elicitation), the investigators manage to gain the moderator’s trust. During these occasions, an agent from the agency discreetly overhears conversations and gains access to the moderator’s documents. In doing so, they repeatedly come across a name that proves to be the key to solving the case.
Key Findings and Actions:
Further research reveals that the individual in question is related to an employee of the company the moderator regularly reports on. A comprehensive background report uncovers further security-relevant information about the target person. Based on these findings, Privatdetektei Ryffel AG compiles a detailed report for the lawyer, who initiates legal proceedings.
Outcome and Impact:
The identification and removal of the individual from the company’s management team lead to the immediate cessation of defamatory reporting about the client. The negative reporting about the company ends abruptly, protecting the client from further reputational damage.
Conclusion and Appreciation:
This case example demonstrates the effectiveness of thorough private investigations and the value of discreet operational measures in sensitive matters. Privatdetektei Ryffel AG’s careful and strategic approach not only preserved their client’s reputation but also helped restore the integrity of the affected company.
