Privatdetektei Ryffel AG played a key role in uncovering welfare fraud committed by the S. family, who used a vehicle illegally despite receiving welfare support. These findings led to a reduction in welfare benefits by the social welfare agency of municipality B.
Initial Situation:
The S. family from municipality B was receiving welfare support, but there were repeated inconsistencies regarding the use of a vehicle. Mr. S. had been repeatedly asked to provide information about all vehicles at his disposal. Failing to comply with this requirement risked a reduction in support benefits.
Engagement of Privatdetektei Ryffel AG:
Given the continued use of vehicles by the S. family, the social welfare agency hired Privatdetektei Ryffel AG to investigate the matter. Extensive surveillance was conducted to document the family’s use of the vehicle.
Investigation Process:
The observations confirmed that a vehicle was regularly used by various members of the S. family. In particular, Mr. S. was observed driving the vehicle himself, which violated welfare regulations.
Consequences of the Investigation:
Based on the investigation findings, the social welfare agency issued an order to reduce welfare benefits for the S. family. The regulation states that individuals who own or use a vehicle without a health or work-related necessity must accept a reduction in welfare support equivalent to the vehicle’s costs.
Conclusion:
This case clearly demonstrates how Privatdetektei Ryffel AG, through its professional investigations, helped uncover welfare fraud and ensured the integrity of welfare support systems. Their role as an independent and efficient investigative body is crucial in such cases.
