Indebtedness | Investigations into Fraud and Embezzlement

As picturesque and steeped in history as Trier is, and as harmonious as the image appears that the idyllic location of Trier in the Moselle Valley conveys, the cathedral city is unfortunately also heavily indebted with 581 million euros (2011). Economically there is light and shade: high indebtedness contrasts with a below-average unemployment figure of 3,164 persons, which corresponds to only 5.7 per cent of the working population. A large proportion of those in employment work for local companies, for example JT International and Heintz van Landewyck as cigarette manufacturers, Sparkasse, Volksbank, the municipal utilities, the Trier tax office and Michelin. Further employers include the Trierischer Volksfreund, the Südwestrundfunk (SWR), four hospitals as well as 56 accommodation establishments. The latter recorded 401,687 overnight guests with 750,012 overnight stays in 2012.

Despite the good employment rate, fraud (3,702 cases) and embezzlement offences (891 cases) are a problem in the region, primarily affecting companies, as our experienced business detectives from Trier know from their research and surveillance in numerous cases of white-collar crime.

Proximity to the Border and Commuter Traffic Promote Crime

In 2012, 51,016 employees worked in Trier. A large proportion of them have to travel across the city to reach their workplace, which in recent years has increasingly led to extreme traffic congestion. Bypass roads once planned to relieve residential areas have to this day not progressed beyond the planning stage for financial reasons. Local public transport is organised by bus, and Trier railway station is connected with France, Luxembourg and Saarbrücken. For car traffic, the federal motorways A 1 towards Saarbrücken and A 64 towards Luxembourg are the nearest junctions. Due to its proximity to Luxembourg (20 km), Belgium (70 km) and France (50 km), a not insignificant proportion of the inhabitants of the Moselle Valley are employed abroad nearby; likewise, numerous people from neighbouring states come to Rhineland-Palatinate and Trier as employees.

Unfortunately, proximity to the border also brings criminals who commit offences and then disappear back across the border. Assignments that lead our detectives of Kurtz Business Detective Agency Trier and Luxembourg to the Benelux countries, but also to France and Switzerland, are therefore more the rule than the exception. Consequently, our investigators possess routine experience in the clarification of business offences committed by travelling offenders and specialise in locating the perpetrators.
