London, United Kingdom. An asset management company based in South Africa and the UAE had made significant investments in a UK trading firm. When the firm declared financial hardship and said it could not meet its repayment obligations, the investor's legal counsel engaged our team.
We promptly launched an investigation using both open-source and closed-source intelligence, which expanded into the physical surveillance of key individuals and assets.
Our investigation revealed that the trading firm was deliberately withholding payments and diverting funds into a new project, intending to repay without additional charges once that project became profitable.
Using our findings, the client's legal team secured a swift settlement agreement.
