09 April 2020 | 470 views

Before contacting a private detective, clients should carry out due diligence by checking the following information about them:
1. That the detective is a citizen of the Russian Federation and is registered as a sole trader.
2. That the detective holds a valid licence to conduct private investigative activities that has been issued by an authorized body in accordance with Russian legislation.
3. That the detective has an impeccable business (professional) reputation.
4. That the detective has paid taxes in a timely manner on the revenues obtained from their provision of private investigative services for two calendar years running.
5. That the location of the detective’s office matches their registered address as a sole trader.
6. That the detective pays their membership fees punctually and in full to any voluntary associations to which they belong.
7. A citizen who holds detective status may not combine their investigative work with other entrepreneurial activities, excluding academic, teaching, or creative work.

Information on a detective’s investigative activities can be acquired by the detective’s client using publicly available sources, which include licences to carry out private investigative activity provided by the detective as well as other documents confirming the detective’s entitlement to provide private investigative services.
