Businessmen are increasingly using the services of private detectives Issue: 117 (3311) dated June 30, 2010 Topic: Society Author: Alexander GAVRILENKO, "ViD" What do private detectives do? Search for missing people, solving family problems, repaying debts. And recently, more and more - work for the business, for example, collecting information on debtors and potential partners. There are similar examples in Tatarstan ... These and other issues are discussed in Kazan at the XIII International Scientific and Practical Conference of the Association of Russian Detectives. At the forum, which runs until July 2, detectives will also discuss issues of improving Russian legislation in the field of private investigation, professional ethics, as well as interaction with each other across Russia and around the world. "First of all, we are concerned about the new law (No. 272" On amendments to certain legislative acts of the Russian Federation in connection with the improvement of state control in the field of private security and detective activities. "- Approx. Aut.), According to which detective agencies should disappear, and their employees will be re-registered as individual entrepreneurs, "said the president of the association, Alexei Shcherbenev, at a press conference. Under the new law, which entered into force on January 1, 2010, it is the individual entrepreneur himself, registered as a detective, who must personally carry out all the search work, without involving anyone else for this. In fact, we are talking about the fact that detectives simply equalized in rights with the guards. It is clear that this is still possible when it comes to petty assignment. But what to do when a detective needs to use many agents to search for information? A single detective set in such a framework may not be able to cope with the task. According to detectives, a draft “counter-law” should be worked out at the conference, which will allow the Russian Sherlock Holmes to work more efficiently. Detectives also want to ensure that public authorities legally share information with them. That is why Sergey Shevchenko, the leading consultant of the State Duma Committee on Security, was invited to the forum. All this is not just, as it might seem, a theory - there is a lot of work for private detectives. They are engaged in searching for missing people, settling family problems, repaying debts and collecting information for potential partners - these types of orders make up the majority of their business. "Where your problem is initially public, you will go to the police, and when you don’t want publicity, contact a private detective," explained Alexey Shcherbenev. According to him, private detectives are increasingly providing assistance to business - find out, for example, whether the debtor company has property in the Canary Islands, collect information about the reputation and creditworthiness of future partners. This kind of work is quite effective. An example, a member of the Association, Kazan detective Vyacheslav Reshetnik, cited a case when a Tatarstan wine and vodka factory asked him to find out the reputation of an American company that wanted to overtake a very large sum for new equipment. The grate was able to find out in the shortest time that the "Americans" actually turned out to be "the guys from Saratov." Naturally, the deal did not take place, as a result of which local businessmen saved millions of dollars. And the head of the Association of Russian Detectives told reporters how his Novosibirsk colleague found relatives of a soldier in a few days, whose remains were found by search engines near Kaliningrad. The detectives also have their own “Code of Honor,” the violation of which is punishable. One of the detectives, who took the money, but did not finish the investigation, was immediately expelled from the Association of Russian Detectives, and his photograph with the corresponding comments was placed on the black stand of the International Detective Association. But there are more honest private detectives in Russia, according to the Association. In total, about one and a half thousand of them are registered in our country. The Association consists of about 70 (34 - from Tatarstan). And this is just the beginning. The Association is expanding rapidly, as well as the range of issues resolved by its members. For example, conference guests include Elena Garrett, a well-known US detective who deals with fraud on dating sites (the so-called “black brides”). Oleg Zimin, chairman of the Russian section of the World Organization of Detectives, also arrived in Kazan to raise the issue of interaction between Russian private detectives and colleagues around the world.

The fight against counterfeit products is the business of a private investigator

Counterfeit problems in Russia will be discussed at the XIII International Scientific and Practical Conference, which will be held in Kazan from June 28 to July 2, 2010. Oleg Zimin, chairman of the Russian section of the World Association of Detectives, who conducts an alternative investigation to detect and fight, comes to Kazan. with counterfeit products, ensuring the security of the Russian market.

Counterfeit products are one of the biggest problems in Russia; their quantity on the Russian market has long reached a critical point. Since the beginning of the 90s, along with commodity abundance and market changes, a flood of cheap fakes and falsifications poured into the country.

Revenues from the sale of counterfeit products in Russia are comparable to the profits of the drug business. Among the world "leaders" in falsification, the country ranks second after China. There are no visible shifts in the problem today. Moreover, one of the essential conditions for Russia's entry into the WTO is the effective fight against counterfeiting. And until this problem is moved off the ground, Russia is unlikely to join the ranks of the countries of the World Trade Organization.

If state support does not yet produce the desired effect, Russian private investigators are ready to step in. Oleg Zimin is a private detective who has already entered into agreements with the owners of the rights of companies such as Apple, Hewlett Packard, Canon, Epson. These companies are willing to pay to ensure their safety in the Russian market, and this is what a private detective does.

The problem of counterfeiting of luxury brands of equipment concerns Kazan directly. This year, an underground workshop for the assembly and sale of counterfeit cartridges for office equipment HP, Xerox, Samsung and Canon was liquidated in Kazan. The operatives seized counterfeit Xerox products worth about 1 million rubles. The counterfeit products of such firms are detrimental not only to manufacturers, but also to consumers: counterfeit devices often break down, and the warranty no longer applies to them. Damage to the health of users is not excluded: unlike original products, counterfeiting does not pass certification.
