Case study: High-net-worth individual surveillance – Divorce investigation

Background: 

Conflict International was approached by a US law firm representing a wealthy wife in a high-profile divorce case. The client suspected that her estranged husband, who had multiple international offices, was involved in an undisclosed relationship with a woman in the UK.

Challenge: 

The client and her legal team had minimal information about the husband’s activities but managed to provide a specific flight number and arrival date in London. The objective was to confirm whether he was engaged in an extramarital relationship and gather evidence to support the divorce proceedings.

Approach:

• Conflict International’s London team initiated surveillance at Heathrow Airport, where the subject was eventually observed exiting the departures terminal.
• The subject was met by a driver and taken to a hotel in central London.
• Over the following days, Conflict International monitored his movements while he attended his known business address in London.
• In the evening, the subject was followed as he boarded a train out of the capital and met with a female companion.
• Further investigation identified the woman as an ex-colleague of the subject.
• Conflict International surveillance teams discreetly documented their interactions, gathering photographic and video evidence of inappropriate contact between the two.

Outcome: 

The evidence collected by Conflict International was presented to the client and her legal representatives. This crucial intelligence was instrumental in the divorce proceedings, providing clear proof of the subject’s undisclosed relationship. The client’s legal team used the findings to support their case effectively.
