DETIX assists businesses, lawyers and private clients with investigations in Asia. We vet business partners, research individuals and companies, and follow leads relating to assets. From our registered business address in Dieburg near Darmstadt, Germany, we coordinate international assignments and involve qualified local investigation contacts where needed. Your specific objective, the information available and local legal requirements determine our approach.
Investigations in Asia: countries and economic regions
Asia encompasses different jurisdictions, languages and ways of accessing information. Each assignment therefore starts by identifying the country, the actual location and the information required. A company address, a contact person’s residence and a suspected asset may be in different countries. We examine these connections individually and bring together findings supported by evidence.
East Asia: Japan, China, South Korea and Taiwan. Company and individual research takes account of different scripts, name orders and transliterations. Original spellings, registration details and known addresses help distinguish people with similar names and attribute information to the correct individual or company.
Southeast Asia: Thailand, Vietnam, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines. Possible lines of enquiry include checks on business partners, actual business addresses and cross-border connections. For individual research or local enquiries, we first establish the last reliably known location and assess practical feasibility.
South Asia: India and other countries in the region. We assess assignments relating to countries such as Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka or Nepal on a case-by-case basis. Specific starting information, local research access and suitable contacts are essential. Where company structures are complex, we identify the relevant entities and locations at the outset.
West Asia: the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and other countries. We assess enquiries concerning business backgrounds, individuals and possible asset connections. We cross-check company names, places of registration and indications of shareholdings. The evidence that can be obtained is assessed for the country and circumstances concerned.
Our investigation services in Asia
Corporate investigations and company checks – We examine conflicting business information, corporate connections and specific indications of fraud. Checks on suppliers, business partners and ownership structures follow the agreed scope and use information that can lawfully be obtained.
Background checks on individuals and business partners – We cross-check identity details, professional backgrounds and business connections. Different spellings and outdated information are taken into account; a matching name alone does not establish identity.
OSINT and digital investigations – Publicly accessible digital information can provide leads concerning activities, companies and relationships. We assess attribution, currency and evidential value, distinguishing unconfirmed leads from established findings.
Person tracing and address enquiries – Known names, previous addresses and other leads provide the starting point. The scope of enquiries and disclosure of personal information are assessed against the legitimate investigation objective and applicable requirements.
Surveillance and fact-finding – Where an assignment requires local measures, we assess legality and operational feasibility with suitable investigation contacts. Required qualifications or licences, proportionality and local conditions inform the planning.
International asset and property research – We follow lawfully accessible leads relating to real estate, company interests and other assets. A business connection is not treated as proof of ownership. We document the availability, currency and limitations of potential evidence.
Careful coordination of cross-border assignments
DETIX is your point of contact in Germany. Overseas investigations are conducted in accordance with local legal requirements and, where necessary, with qualified international partners. The countries listed describe possible areas of operation, not DETIX branch offices. Research access and proposed measures are assessed separately for each assignment.
Before engagement, we discuss the purpose, scope, timeframe and costs, including foreseeable expenses. We clarify applicable requirements for personal information and international data transfers. If findings are intended for litigation, we coordinate documentation requirements with your legal representative where needed.
You receive a structured report on the commissioned measures and results. Confirmed findings, unresolved leads and research limitations are identified. For other regional areas of operation, please see our coverage areas.
Frequently asked questions about investigations in Asia
In which Asian countries can DETIX investigate?
We assess enquiries relating to East, Southeast, South and West Asia, particularly the countries listed here. Whether an assignment can be carried out at a particular location depends on the available information, suitable contacts and local requirements.
Does DETIX have its own offices in Asia?
No. Our registered business address is in Dieburg near Darmstadt, Germany. We coordinate international assignments from Germany and work with qualified local investigation contacts where needed.
Can business partners and suspected fraud be investigated?
We check company information, backgrounds and verifiable connections within the agreed scope. In suspected fraud cases, correspondence, contracts and company details help focus the research. Suspicions are examined without assuming a particular outcome.
Are surveillance and asset enquiries possible?
This depends on the country, the investigation purpose and the method. We assess legal and practical requirements and the evidence available in advance. We cannot promise a particular result or a complete identification of all assets.
What does an assignment cost and what information does DETIX need?
A brief account of the circumstances, the country concerned, known names or company details and your specific objective are helpful. Costs depend on research scope, language requirements and any local operations. We agree a suitable way to transfer confidential documents with you.
