Detective business in Ukraine

May 31, 2011

Detective business is actively developing in Ukraine. This activity is carried out by both individual individuals and entire companies. They can not only trace what the spouse is doing on a long business trip, check the decency and solvency of a business partner, but also conduct a parallel investigation in some criminal case or concoct an alibi, if necessary.

Private investigators can legalize
Detective work is becoming increasingly popular in the world. Services of detective companies are used in the USA, Japan, Mexico, India, Israel, Russia and the EU countries. It got to the point that in England the number of Sherlock Holmes is twice the number of police officers, and in the USA the treasury of private security services is 50% higher than the budgets of all police bodies combined!
“In Ukraine, this type of activity has not been officially recognized, although several thousand independent detectives and agencies have been engaged in fruitful detective work for a long time and fruitfully,” says the author of the draft law “On Private Detective (Investigation) Activities,” MP Vladimir Moysik.
According to him, in Ukraine it is necessary to legalize this type of activity. Vladimir Moisik has already found support in the Verkhovna Rada Committee on Legislative Support for Law Enforcement Activities and a number of other bodies.
“The experience of countries in which such activity is legally regulated shows that the functioning of private detectives and detective agencies significantly increases the responsibility of the state law enforcement system for timely and professional response to citizens' problems and at the same time relieves law enforcement from the need to perform many non-essential or unusual functions, as well as contributes to the improvement of the criminal situation, ”Vladimir Moysik writes in an explanatory note to the bill.
It is likely that in the near future this document will be put to a vote in the Verkhovna Rada.
The list of services provided sometimes exceeds the list in the price
Very often, former police officers and other services go to private detectives and detective agencies. Having maintained friendly relations in law enforcement bodies and having gained considerable experience, they offer their customers a fairly large list of services, which include, for example, authentication of biographical and other data; helping parents monitor difficult teens; collection of information about persons; covert outdoor surveillance; tracing of missing persons, debtors, fraudsters; search for property, real estate, vehicles; assistance to lawyers in criminal and civil cases; verification of business partners; screening of candidates for employment; compilation of an alibi, etc. In principle, detectives are allowed to do only what any other citizen. If they allow themselves too much, they can answer.
“If surveillance is carried out within the framework of the law, it’s not a problem, if not, we will be put in prison,” says Vladimir Moisik.
However, private investigators sometimes allow themselves too much. So, most detectives offer a service such as organizing an alibi in family life. In conversations with some Ukrainian Sherlock Holmes, it turns out that they can also help their client concoct an alibi if he commits any crime.
“But all this falls apart easily,” a law enforcement official told “DN”. “Personally, I know of such examples when they were still at the stage of a preliminary investigation (in two cases it was the theft of personal property, in one case - beating of light weight) the purchased alibi burst like a soap bubble ... “The right people” hired by the agency didn’t confirm anything in an interview with the interrogator ... So I don’t advise buying an alibi, spend this money on a good lawyer! ”

Alibi for 3 thousand hryvnias
A DN journalist disguised as a client visited one of such agencies in Donetsk, where she was told how to avoid criminal liability. Here is a fragment of the conversation of the correspondent with detectives:
“Tell me, are you providing an alibi to the person who committed the crime?”
- I'm not talking about crime in my office. Who sent you here - SBU or the press? Say hello to the main!
- The fact is that I have a girlfriend who does not want to go to the company with her question, not knowing in advance whether they can help her there or not. I can summarize her situation. She had the keys to her neighbor’s apartment. Money was stolen from him. Suspect a girlfriend. They can’t prove it, but they drag it in all sorts of departments ...
“Yes ... A witness is needed.” You need to look for a representative of some service who will confirm that
your girlfriend was at his appointment. It must be an official, one who is in power. I can talk with one person. If he agrees, then the issue will be resolved.
- In general, do you solve such problems?
- Yes, but not in all cases. Here the problem is small, but we will take enough money. It all depends on who I go to and say, "This is what needs to be done." We organize everything ... Do and help!
- How much is such a service?
- At least three thousand.
- Dollars?
- Hryvnia!
“But nothing that we are talking about here?”
- We have not yet taken up this matter ...
It turns out that today you can cook up a suitable alibi for money, depending on the situation, which, perhaps, will allow you to avoid responsibility for the crime. And this is not all that detective agencies are capable of today ...
