CRIMINAL INVESTIGATIONS
CRIMINAL INVESTIGATIONS
JARAK’s investigators have extensive experience in policing and investigating crime. With our knowledge
of criminal law, we can handle any criminal investigation from the scene of the crime to the court of law,
assisting and liaising with the police, state prosecutors and Attorney Generals for effective prosecution.
JARAK’s knowledge of the Criminal Procedure Act and Law of Evidence ensures that acquittals due to
technicalities or insufficient evidence can be minimised.

as:
• Embezzlement
• Violation of fiduciary duties
• Improper supplier relations
• Financial statement manipulation
• Fraudulent electronic transfers
• Alienation of assets

INSURANCE
INSURANCE
The company has a proven track record of successfully unveiling fraudulent insurance claims on life and
short-term insurance, as well as alleged disability claims.
ELECTRONIC SURVEILLANCE AND COUNTER SURVEILLANCE
It is often necessary to gather information in a covert manner within a corporate organisation to further
highly sensitive investigations. This covers a wide field ranging from auditory to visual recording.
JARAK can advise on and implement the best options relevant to particular investigations. Depending on the
nature of the equipment being used, such equipment may either be leased or installed to ensure the most
cost effective results.
JARAK will also advise on legal requirements regarding the use of such equipment, together with IT advice on
the use of such information gathered as evidence.
It is also vital that corporate bodies take prudent steps to ensure the confidentiality of their own sensitive
information. Our highly skilled technicians can conduct physical searches and electronic frequency sweeps
of sensitive areas of premises and check on telephone integrity. This can be done on a regular basis as a
preventative measure.
Our consultants also provide executives with information on standard security methods that should be
applied to all sensitive information. Many of these methods are extremely simple and cost effective.
UNDER-COVER INVESTIGATIONS
The JARAK group’s undercover agents will ensure that a client’s management has a clear picture of unethical
and criminal activities within their organisation. The group also undertakes to follow up on informationBV
furnished by its agents in order to enable management to dismiss the culprits and/or prosecute them
criminally.
FLEA-MARKET INSPECTIONS
JARAK conducts an on-going monitoring operation at flea-markets throughout South Africa on behalf of
clients whose products are sold at both formal and informal markets.
These flea-markets have become favoured outlets for stolen stock, hi-jacked products, counterfeit products
and grey market imports. These inspections are carried out on a regular basis in the most cost effective
manner possible. The necessary action is then taken against offenders, including gathering of evidence and
the institution of criminal prosecution where warranted.
COPYRIGHT AND PATENT INFRINGEMENTS
Violations and disputes over patents and trademarks are rife. JARAK has proven that we have the skills and
experience to identify the source and the extent of the infringement and to gather admissible evidence for
litigation. Concerns about grey marketing and counterfeit products can be handed over to JARAK to prevent
further losses.
