The Client Problem:

A financial institution approached us to trace the assets of a client who had defaulted on a loan.

In India, a classic asset trace is not possible because property records are not searchable online and centralized asset registers do not exist. Over the years, OUR TEAM has evolved a detailed proprietary method to collate actionable intelligence on leads to identify the hidden assets of an individual.

Our Team’s Solution:

Our client was from the EMEA region and only had the passport details of the defaulter. Our team suggested mapping out the individual’s extended family with their leads and assets, so that our client could approach the court with the necessary crucial evidence.

CIGAER's Impact:

After a thorough mapping exercise, our team was able to identify the leads and assets of the individual, enabling our client to approach the court.
