Investigation – Judicial Process

The Need for Utmost Secrecy.

In general it may be said that any concealed asset recovery operation must proceed on a secretive and fast-paced basis, in order to minimize the risk that further asset secretion activity might take place, which it undoubtedly will if the alleged fraudster learns that he is the subject of investigation.

While the traditional form of discovery is inter partes, or out in the open so to speak, the circumstances in which relief is sought against an apparent fraudster are such as to warrant ex-parte or secret discovery designed to locate hidden wealth with a view to freezing the same to frustrate any attempts to further hide it.
