Success stories
F.A.Q.
Whenever they complete an investigation, private detectives submit a report to the client listing the operations conducted and the findings observed.
Article 265.1 5 of the Criminal Procedure Act states that all lawsuits must be accompanied by “reports, produced by legally accredited private investigators, on the relevant information upon which the allegations are based. If this information is not recognised as fact, witness evidence will be called.”
Reports by private detectives are a form of evidence that is explicitly accepted by our Supreme Court, which has emphasised the legitimacy and frequency of their use in Spanish courts in several different rulings. If necessary, the private detective will be called upon to testify as a witness at the trial.
