We are approached by lawyers, legal companies, simply entrepreneurs or legal entities apply with a request to collect information about counterparties, to check the conscientiousness and integrity of their business partners. Or the collection of information may be in some kind of civil proceedings , - explained specialist in an interview with Radio 1.
According to him, the interaction of detectives with government agencies has not yet been spelled out. The authorities should give a private detective certain rights so that they can help citizens on an equal basis with law enforcement officers. However, this is not yet the case.
Previously, the State Duma deputy from "United Russia" Anatoly Vyborny offered to separate the regulation of detective and security activities, to expand the powers of detectives, and also to introduce the concept of "detective secrets."
Now in Russia, only a few thousand detectives work with official licenses. The rest of the detectives are working "in the gray", and this market for detective services is not controlled by regulation, NEWS.ru wrote.
