In a complex case of suspected welfare fraud, Privatdetektei Ryffel AG conducted extensive investigations to verify the actual living conditions of a family of five receiving welfare support.
Initial Situation:
A family of five, newly relocated to the municipality, was receiving welfare support after being classified as needy according to internal criteria. Despite the client’s apparent willingness to cooperate with labor market integration, doubts arose regarding the seriousness of his involvement.
Beginning of the Investigation:
In response to the client’s repeated absences from a work integration program, the social welfare office decided to investigate the suspected welfare fraud through an external partner. Privatdetektei Ryffel AG was mandated to clarify the situation.
Investigation Strategy and Execution:
The investigation included verifying the family’s actual place of residence, observing the client, and monitoring his activities. It was discovered that additional people were living in the client’s household and that the client regularly used vehicles not registered in his name. Furthermore, the client regularly left the apartment in the evening and returned in the morning, indicating undeclared employment.
Investigation Results:
The investigation revealed several suspicious circumstances: the presence of additional individuals in the household, the use of vehicles registered to others, and the apparent departure from the apartment for work purposes without informing the welfare office. These findings strongly suggested welfare fraud.
Conclusions and Implications:
Based on the investigation’s findings, the social welfare office was able to take appropriate measures to counter the suspected fraud. Through thorough and discreet work, Privatdetektei Ryffel AG demonstrated its ability to uncover complex cases of welfare fraud and provided authorities with critical information for further action.
This case study highlights the importance of careful investigations in suspected welfare fraud cases and the role of Privatdetektei Ryffel AG as a trusted partner for authorities and institutions.
