Corruption: Disclosure of Secrets for Easy Money

In many cases of bribery, employees are involved by being persuaded by a competitor to pass on company secrets such as customer and supplier data or construction plans. While the financial cost of the bribe to the competitor is usually minimal, the monetary, intangible, and long-term damage to your company can be enormous, sometimes even threatening its very existence. In addition, there is a potential loss of reputation if the incident becomes public, which is why many companies refrain from filing an official report.

If you suspect an employee of corruption or discover that your company secrets are in the possession of competitors, our professional corporate investigators in Kiel and Schleswig-Holstein are your competent contacts for the rapid and above all discreet uncovering of offences and the apprehension of the perpetrators. You are welcome to describe your case via email at kontakt@kurtz-detektei-kiel.de or through our contact form.

Bribery: Influencing Decisions in Exchange for Money, Job Offers, Goods or Other Benefits

Ruthless competitors bribe your employees with remuneration, advantages, and discounts to induce them to award contracts or disclose company data. They bribe public officials to secure government contracts. They lure customers away from you with anti-competitive offers. In the end, as an honest competitor, you are the one at a disadvantage. Customers leave, public contracts are lost – and the competitor is always one step ahead.

In most cases, you do not notice the bribery until you wonder why your customers are absent, orders are declining, and/or competitors are offering products developed by your company. The competitor appears omnipresent, and their business is thriving. It is reasonable to suspect that they are securing orders through illicit means, namely bribery. Our experienced corporate detectives in Kiel and Schleswig-Holstein provide legally admissible evidence of their unlawful actions.
