LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM, January 31, 2025 /
EINPresswire.com/ -- As financial crimes grow in complexity and disputes over hidden wealth escalate, Private Investigators are experiencing unprecedented requests for
asset tracing services.
From high-profile divorce settlements to recovering concealed funds in bankruptcy cases, Asset Tracing has become a critical tool for ensuring transparency, accountability, and fairness in today’s financial and relationship worlds.
A growing need
The demand for Asset Tracing is fuelled by a myriad of factors, including an increase in fraud cases, financial mismanagement, and indeed global economic uncertainty.
Recent developments such as January’s launch of Interpol’s Silver Notice Programme and Europol’s largest-ever operation to seize criminal assets highlight the global importance of uncovering hidden wealth.
And it’s not just criminal assets. There is a corresponding rise in the demand to trace corporate and individual assets in areas such as business financial assessments, bankruptcy, and high-level divorce cases.
Private Detectives to the fore
Private Investigators are now increasingly being called upon to trace assets in many of these situations.
Peter Torley, Lead Investigator at Private Detective London, described the increasingly sophisticated tactics used to hide assets.
“There are many ways that companies and individuals go about concealing their wealth and assets,” he said.
“From the age-old methods like transferal of funds to offshore accounts, creating shell companies and developing complex corporate structures, to more contemporary trends like investing in cryptocurrency and tangible goods like art and gold.
Expert assistance
“These new trends often make it challenging to identify and recover concealed wealth without the expert assistance of professional Asset Tracing services,” he said.
“Over the years, the image of Private Investigators has changed substantially thanks to the work they are now becoming experts in. This includes things like financial forensics, global networks, and access to really innovative investigative tools.
“As all these financial crimes become more sophisticated, the need for skilled Asset Tracing has never been greater. We’re able to track assets
globally across jurisdictions and unravel complex financial structures – hardly the image of the old-fashioned private eye,” he said.

With rising economic pressures and continued advancements in financial concealment methods, the demand for asset tracing is expected to grow further.
