In the most complex cases, observation from the outside is not enough. Sometimes an investigator must operate from within – under cover, with a clear mandate and within the boundaries of the law.
Infiltration means one of our investigators, under a constructed identity or role, is integrated into a specific environment to collect information that is otherwise inaccessible. This may involve a workplace, a social circle or an organisation.
The method is used only in cases where conventional investigation methods have proven insufficient and where the information need justifies the operation. Every infiltration assignment is conducted with carefully planned parameters, clear boundaries and complete documentation.
Suspected organised crime within or against your business
Internal sabotage or information leaks that cannot be traced conventionally
Verification of information in environments closed to external observers
Complex fraud networks involving multiple parties
Situations where the suspect has adapted behaviour after learning of surveillance
Infiltration is always preceded by a thorough risk analysis and executed with your full approval at every step.
Undercover assignments require exceptional planning, flexibility and operational expertise. Every assignment is unique and fully tailored to the situation.
Before an infiltration assignment is approved, we conduct a thorough risk analysis: legal risks, safety risks for the operator and the risk of the assignment being discovered. The assignment proceeds only if risks are manageable.
We build a credible cover identity adapted to the environment the operator will operate in. The legend is tested and refined before the operation begins.
The operator is integrated into the target environment and collects information within the assignment's parameters. Communication with the client occurs via secure channels at agreed intervals.
All information is documented continuously. Observation and conversation reports are designed with evidentiary value in mind.
The operator is withdrawn from the environment in a controlled manner. A complete report is compiled with all observations, connections and conclusions.
We evaluate whether infiltration is the right method for your case. In most cases, we recommend simpler methods first.
If infiltration is deemed necessary, a detailed operational plan is developed with clear parameters, objectives and boundaries.
The operation is conducted according to plan with ongoing check-ins. The plan is adapted as needed based on findings.
The investigation concludes with a complete report. We can assist with follow-up actions or advisory services.
Infiltration as a method is legal in Sweden as long as it does not involve criminal conduct. Our operators commit no crimes during the operation – they observe, listen and document. We do not engage in provocation and we never exceed the boundaries set by Swedish law.
Observation from within an environment with a constructed role, passive intelligence gathering, documentation of conversations and behaviours, network mapping.
Provocation or incitement to crime, unlawful wiretapping with technical equipment, intrusion into private systems or premises, actions violating the Penal Code.
The documentation is designed for use as evidence in legal proceedings, but its evidentiary value depends on the specific legal context.
Yes, provided the operator does not commit any crime. Observation, passive listening and documenting what happens in an environment one is present in is legal. We never engage in provocation.
It varies considerably – from a few days to several weeks depending on complexity and the time needed to build trust in the target environment.
We minimise risk through careful planning, credible legend building and experienced operators. Zero risk does not exist, and we are transparent about that.
Undercover assignments are resource-intensive and therefore more expensive than conventional investigations. Cost depends on scope and duration. We always provide a quote in advance.
