Stalking Investigations By Private Detectives

Stalking (German: Nachstellung) is a criminal offence (§ 238 StGB) that affects not only celebrities but equally ordinary private individuals. If you are affected by stalking, the IHK-certified detectives of Kurtz Detective Agency Kiel will gladly undertake the court-admissible identification and exposure of the perpetrator with their expertise and experience: +49 431 3057 0053.

Misinterpretations as the Initial Trigger

Stalking has many faces and countless different triggers: A friendly smile during a sales conversation, brief eye contact in a lift, a polite “please” or “thank you” towards a postman – if the other person misinterprets courteous everyday behaviour and imagines affection where none exists, this can lead to stalking. Or an ex-partner feels offended in his vanity by the separation, refuses to accept that there is no shared future, and therefore becomes a stalker. What both types of offender have in common is that their behaviour often displays compulsive traits and that they are very rarely receptive to reasonable arguments.

Court-Admissible Evidence Against Stalkers

Stalking is regulated under criminal law for good reason, as it can assume proportions which, beyond the obvious violation of personal rights, may even pose a danger to life and physical well-being. In less severe variants, it usually remains excessive attempts at contact in the form of letters, emails, SMS, telephone calls and similar means. In other cases, as an escalating spiral intensifies, stalkers eventually resort to violence. Unfortunately, there is no universally valid guideline for dealing with stalkers, as too many different offender types exist. In some cases, a clear statement may be promising, while in others it is advantageous to ignore them. Not infrequently, victims are contacted, followed, spied upon and harassed for years. Even the threat of a court-imposed restraining order sometimes produces precisely the opposite of the desired effect.

Before the situation escalates, you should seek the support of our experienced private detectives in Kiel. We are familiar with the typical behavioural patterns of stalkers and can, as a rule, persuade them to cease their harassment by confronting them with the evidence obtained. We will be pleased to advise you on a case-specific and non-binding basis in a personal consultation, which you may conduct with either a male or a female investigator. Please send us an email with a description of your case to kontakt@kurtz-detektei-kiel.de or contact our detectives by telephone on the number provided above.

Lost Quality Of Life | Kiel Private Detective Agency Provides Relief

Persistent stalking can lead to significant psychological disorders in victims, for example anxiety of persecution, depression, loss of touch with reality and suicidal thoughts. The harassment does not necessarily have to manifest itself in the classic form of “following”, but may also occur, for example, in the form of goods or service orders placed in the victim’s name. Suddenly, one is faced with a mountain of delivered goods in the stairwell or a parade of tradespeople arriving one after another. Via the internet, perpetrators pursue their victims on platforms such as Facebook, Twitter and Instagram in order to learn more about them and thus exert influence even more effectively. In particularly serious cases, offenders even go so far as to gain unauthorised access to the victim’s flat or house and conceal listening devices and miniature cameras on the premises in order to spy on them.
