International Intelligence - Insight, not hindsight

Investigation Case Study 1

A corporate client tasked International Intelligence Limited to investigate allegations of theft among its workforce, even though the company had security guards and CCTV. We duly deployed a covert operative within the team that was under suspicion to obtain evidence to aid legal action and dismissal.

Our female operative, a former police officer was able to (with the aid of electronic eavesdropping devices and physical evidence) gain the intelligence needed to support a prosecution.

The result in this case was prosecution of both security and company personnel. Some of the stolen property was also obtained and returned…

Investigation Case Study 2

An existing corporate client telephoned our offices late one Friday evening requesting an urgent meeting due to the fact that he suspected that his business partner was using their offices, facilities and finance to launch his own business.

International Intelligence Limited were tasked to carry out an in depth investigation into this individual, his personal finances and to obtain intelligence via investigation and electronic surveillance in order to obtain leverage to force a resignation or face prosecution. We were able to obtain information from our client’s computer and telephone system, thus providing recordings of conversations and also emails proving that the target was indeed going into competition with his (at the time) business partner.

As a result of our investigations we were able to provide enough evidence to force the Director to resign. He willingly took that option rather than going through lengthy legal channels.

Due Diligence Case Study 1

International Intelligence Limited was asked to provide full personnel and financial structure of a company that was being targeted for takeover; the company was based in Geneva, Switzerland.

Our due diligence team carried out a full financial investigation into the company, while our investigations team investigated the affairs of the company managers and directors to obtain structure and connections.

As a result we were able to discover that the company had a suspicious ownership structure leading to a Government official based in Russia.

Our clients decided not to proceed with a takeover.

Due Diligence Case Study 2

One of the legal firms that we work for had recently merged with another legal firm in the same sector but had concerns about the activities of some of the legal partners.

Our due diligence team carried out surveillance and in depth checks to provide the client with an idea of the in and out of hours practices and life styles of a number of targeted partners.

The surveillance, investigations and due diligence team carried out both technical surveillance in the form of telephone monitoring and observational surveillance, enabling our client to produce a list of individuals that were either carrying out work “on the side” or of individuals that out of hours lead life styles that would bring the name of the company into disrepute.

Litigation Support Case Study 1

One of our legal clients (a firm of solicitors) was representing a foreign client; the clients feared for their safety and needed statements from individuals residing in a hostile environment. International Intelligence Limited provided the solicitors with close protection and logistical support to enable statements to be taken and extraction of the witnesses ready for the pre trial.

The results of these statements being added to the case file swung the case into settlement.

Litigation Support Case Study 2

Our largest litigation support project to date is valued at 1 billion US$. International Intelligence Limited provided up to date intelligence via infiltration and close target surveillance. These activities took place in a war zone, both target and end client were Governments with a long history of resentment.

Our team successfully carried out this mission with the use of our vast network and resources, resulting in vital intelligence that was used in court to aid settlement.

Counter espionage Case Study 1

Our technical team were called in by a broadsheet paper to carry out an electronic counter measures sweep for a leading scientist who’s discovery’s and views did not fit with the Governments way of thinking or its propaganda surrounding this health issue.

We carried out the sweep successfully but pointed out to the scientist that Governments can eavesdrop on telecommunications at source (exchange level) and that they would rarely place eavesdropping or telephone tapping within a premises.

Our knowledge surrounding technical surveillance gave our client a feeling of confidence and the know how of communicating in a secure manner.

Counter espionage Case Study 2

One of our corporate clients had suspicions about one of its competitors gaining intelligence on sales and product development activities, a security breach that could lead to the company at best losing millions, at worst the company’s future.

We placed a number of undercover operatives within the company’s structure, from cleaning staff; shop floor and management in order to pin point the area of weakness and to uncover those carrying out espionage.

Our investigations quickly lead us to a member of the cleaning staff who we discovered was related to one of the senior directors of this company’s competitors. Her reference and work history were fake and she was driving around in a BMW, a car not normally associated with a cleaner on cleaners pay.

To avoid bad press and loss of investors, our clients decided to dismiss the cleaner and improve its vetting system with our recommendations.

Surveillance Case Study 1

A female client that had been involved in a relationship for some time employed International Intelligence Limited to carry out surveillance on her partner before she possibly embarked on marriage. She had had some suspicions regarding his sexuality, and a business trip he was about to leave town for was also unexpected and unplanned.

As the target was using the car belonging to our client, we were able to place a covert satellite tracking system deep within the vehicle, along with a GSM based covert listening device. This technical set up enabled our surveillance team to observe with little fear of the target being lost. We were also able to hear any audio within the vehicle.

As a result of our technical and observational surveillance, we were able to ascertain that the target was not carrying out an affair, but was in fact very much in love with our client and only attending meetings as stated.

Surveillance Case Study 2

A private client based in the Middle East required surveillance to be carried out on a member of his staff, while that staff member was visiting the UK. International Intelligence Limited deployed a number of operatives, some Arabic speaking to include an Arabic Lip-reader.

Our surveillance task took us to three European cities over four days. The size of our team increased, as the travel was unexpected and needed to include French-speaking operatives.

Our team was able to discover that the target had both considerable unexplainable private wealth and also that this wealth came from theft by the employer.
