Case Histories

To give an indication of the range of services we provide we give below a brief summary of some contracts successfully completed for a range of clients over the past few years:

Client A was an international businessman who alleged that his business partner had defrauded him of millions of US dollars. The sum now involved is circa US$60 million. SIS were instructed to assist in the recovery of the debt. As a result of the gathering of thousands of documents, numerous witness interviews and interaction with major law firms in a number of jurisdictions throughout the world a successful legal action was held in the Republic of South Africa early in 2013. An Appeal was launched by the debtor but this was rejected in August 2013. Our Client was awarded costs on both proceedings.

In addition to providing supporting evidence in the case SIS provided a Dossier containing the evidence of the fraudulent activity and false evidence submitted by the Defendant on oath in this case and other inter related cases. Over 20 instances of perjury is contained in the Dossier.
Client B was a foreign Government owned enterprise. That company was owed approx. US$5,000,000 by a New Zealand registered company. The debt dated back over 5 years and the Directors of the NZ company had dissolved the company stating that it had no debts. SIS were instructed to assist in the recovery of the debt and were instrumental in providing the necessary evidence proving the debt was legitimate. A Director of the NZ company settled the debt by paying over US$5.2 million to our Client.
Client C was also a foreign Government owned enterprise. The company was owed US$300,000 by a Belgian registered company. The company had been dissolved in similar circumstances to Client A. With the assistance of evidence provided by SIS, the Client recovered US$360,000 to cover the debt plus interest.
Client D was the owner of a franchise that was in the process of being sold for a considerable sum. During the negotiations it became apparent that a franchisee was operating in breach of the franchise contract and was in effect attempting to set up an alternative franchise. This would have seriously impacted on the sale value for our Client. SIS carried out investigations and provided evidence that prevented further breaches of contract by the franchisee. That operation was halted, and our Client concluded the sale at the agreed price.
Client E was a cycle importer who distributed expensive cycles throughout Britain .. A retailer in the south of England ordered over 40 cycles and promptly disappeared. SIS traced the retailer and recovered the cycles.
Client F was being blackmailed by a previous employee and competitor. SIS held meetings that resolved the dispute and ended the blackmail.
Client G was involved in a partnership dispute and was owed a considerable sum. SIS held meetings with the partners and resolved the dispute resulting in Client F receiving payment.
Client H was the owner of a well known restaurant franchise and was experiencing problems with theft. SIS installed covert surveillance equipment and the problem was resolved.
