Case Preparation by Kurtz Detective Agency Munich

If you commission Kurtz Detective Agency Munich, there are a number of matters to be observed or completed in advance on both your part and ours, which we would like to explain to you beforehand. The best way to do this is, of course, by telephone (+49 89 7007 4301), but you can also already read some preliminary information below, which may answer one or two questions you would like to ask our Munich detectives.

Thirst for Knowledge Is Not the Same as a Legitimate Interest

The be-all and end-all of a reputable detective agency, to which our IHK-certified detectives in Munich belong, is comprehensive, legally secure advice for the prospective client. During an initial non-binding telephone conversation or when contacting us by email — in which you should describe your concern as concretely as possible — we will ask you a number of questions, including the reasons for your possible commissioning of Kurtz Investigations Munich. A healthy degree of curiosity about our work is certainly advantageous, but this question is not born of our investigators’ idle curiosity; it serves to establish your legitimate interest in carrying out the investigations and, of course, in obtaining the results. Everyone has a right to privacy that must be respected. Only where there are justifiable grounds may we, as surveillance operatives and investigators, intervene in that privacy. We would like to explain this clearly below using two examples:

The Strange Behaviour of the Neighbours

If you want your neighbour to be put under surveillance because his wife has been missing for four days (she may be on holiday, at a health spa or in hospital), he has dug a deep hole in the garden (perhaps he merely wishes to create a garden pond) and you suspect that he has murdered his wife and is burying her in the garden — this does not constitute a legitimate interest and therefore is not a reason for an investigation by Kurtz Detective Agency Munich. This is merely speculation about the lives or deaths of persons who do not directly concern you through family or economic interests. At most you can inform the police of your suspicion. If it is unfounded, they will probably dismiss it.

The Allegedly Unfaithful Partner | The Suspected Affair of a Spouse

The situation is different if you are married or living in a marriage-like partnership and your husband/wife spends his/her leisure time conspicuously frequently without you or suddenly disappears. In this case there is a legitimate interest in the whereabouts of your partner, just as you have the right to know whether your partner adheres to the socially established tradition of fidelity. In such circumstances the legal requirements for the provision of services by Kurtz Detective Agency Munich are met.

The same applies if you are an employer and, for example, notice that one of your employees is constantly unfocused, overtired or similar. Then it is reasonable to suspect that they are exhausting themselves in their leisure time, which should otherwise serve to regenerate their strength, and are therefore unable to perform their full professional duties to the detriment of the company. Our detectives from Munich may investigate whether the employee merely pursues an energy-sapping hobby (for example, club sport) or whether they engage in unauthorised secondary employment during their time off and thus violate their duties as an employee. Here too a legitimate interest in our investigations exists.

After clarification of the legitimate interest and the detective fees, Kurtz Detective Agency Munich will present you with a written investigation contract for placing the order. More on this here.
