A prestigious law firm in Germany reached out to Arcane International to investigate the specifics of an unconventional divorce case. The woman seeking the divorce was not fully aware of the nature of her then-husband’s business, and couldn’t estimate his capital or his assets. Arcane entered the picture to reveal the concealed aspects of the husband’s business, providing the wife and lawyers evidence and leverage that could be used in court.
Arcane used several tactics and revealed the husband’s associates, in an effort to obscure his fortune, were holding a majority of his shares in public companies. Furthermore, intelligence gained from informants led to the discovery that the husband owned a number of gold mines in Australia and Canada which were managed by several straw corporations registered in offshore countries. These firms were under investigation by the Australian authorities for tax evasion and embezzlements, alongside other illegal activities.
Our investigation revealed proof implicating the husband in the illegal going-ons, which the authorities lacked in their legal proceedings. Furthermore, we discovered assets, including real estate; bank accounts; and companies, which were undisclosed to the relevant authorities. After the concrete findings became a point of leverage in the divorce proceedings, the lawyers were able to act upon these findings to effectively flip the case in favor of the wife, guaranteeing her financial security.
