Corporate Investigators | Commercial Detectives Munich

Munich owes the designation of a "world city" in part to the fact that the airport "Franz Josef Strauss", opened in 1992, as well as the main railway station, offer connections to international major cities. More than 37 million passengers used the airport in 2023 alone, making it the second-largest in Germany. Via rail transport, as well as federal motorways and federal roads, Munich is connected with the neighbouring countries of Austria, Switzerland and the Czech Republic. In addition, Munich-West Airport near Memmingen, with Ryanair as its main user, also offers international flights to and from Munich.

This internationality and connectivity are an expression of Munich’s status as a European economic metropolis. Inevitably, this economic strength is confronted with crime.

Technology and Media Hub – A Laid Table for Fraudsters

Since the Second World War, Munich has increasingly developed into an attractive corporate and high-tech location, with the media sector, insurance companies and banks making up a large proportion of resident businesses. At the latest since the XX Olympic Games in 1972, Munich has been internationally known as the host city and additionally enjoys worldwide recognition as a trade fair location. Trade fairs and congresses, as well as shopping opportunities and sights, attract tourists and businesspeople alike and make the Bavarian state capital a multicultural meeting place, within whose colourful activity the commercial detectives of Kurtz Detective Agency Munich are deployed.

Alongside the software and IT industry and tourism, Munich is of particular importance as a media hub: numerous publishing houses as well as film, radio and television companies are based here, including Sky Deutschland, Sat1, Pro7, Sport1 and Bayerischer Rundfunk. In addition, many different companies that relocated their headquarters from Berlin and eastern Germany to Munich after the Second World War are based here, for example Siemens. However, alongside the positive aspects of the business location, cases of theft, embezzlement, fraud, industrial and corporate espionage and computer crime are increasing, as our commercial detectives in Munich can ascertain from the order situation.

Major Events in Munich Attract Offenders

Alongside trade fairs, businesses and tourism, Munich is also famous for sporting events. The Munich Marathon or the New Year’s Eve Run are well-known events; likewise, the ice hockey club EHC Red Bull Munich or the two American football teams Munich Cowboys and Munich Rangers have made a name for themselves. Furthermore, alongside the Frankfurt Redbacks, the Munich Kangaroos were one of the founding teams of the Australian Football League in Germany. Of course, the city is also represented in other sports, including basketball and triathlon. This strong connection to sport does not always have only positive effects: doping or medication abuse, money laundering and bribery found their way into major sports decades ago.

The greatest attraction is certainly the game around the "round leather" – football. FC Bayern Munich, one of the city’s two professional football teams, has been continuously represented in the 1. Bundesliga since 1965 and, with around 258,000 members (July 2015), is the second-largest football club in the world. International Champions League matches take place annually at the Allianz Arena, drawing fans from all over the world to Munich. League matches and fixtures of the DFB Cup competition also almost always result in a sold-out Allianz Arena. And when FC Bayern play away, TSV 1860 Munich use the stadium for the 2. Bundesliga. Sometimes our commercial investigators in Munich are fortunate and an assignment takes them to one of the matches, although the reason is usually less pleasant: the national sport of the category of "pickpocketing", expense fraud, sickness absence fraud, fraudulent activities in ticket sales or infidelity surveillance are decisive for our deployments on site.
