What is a Moral Character Investigation?
As the name suggests, a moral character investigation aims to assess the integrity and ethical conduct of an individual. It can uncover information regarding criminal history, deviant behaviors, or financial issues that may affect a person’s reliability.
In France, moral character investigations must adhere to laws governing personal data protection and privacy. Article 6 of the Civil Code stipulates that specific agreements cannot override laws related to public order and morals. It is crucial for these investigations to be conducted ethically and legally.
In summary, a moral character investigation is conducted to ensure dealing with individuals who are serious and trustworthy.
Who Can Initiate a Moral Character Investigation?
Professionals can engage a private detective to conduct a moral character investigation to verify the integrity of a prospective partner, employee, or important client.
What Are the Methods Used by a Detective in a Verification Case for Partnership?
A private detective intervenes by conducting precise research tailored to the client’s needs and situation. Methods used include:
- Field Investigations: Surveillance and monitoring to observe the subject’s behaviors and interactions.
- Administrative Investigations: Checking public records, such as criminal records and financial backgrounds.
- Solvency Investigations: Analyzing the financial capabilities of the subject to prevent risks of default or fraud.

Why Hire a Private Detective to Gather Substantive Evidence?
Hiring a private detective helps dispel doubts by providing factual and concrete evidence. For instance, a company that investigated the moral character of a future partner discovered a history of fraud, preventing a disastrous partnership. Such investigations can confirm the good reputation of a candidate, reassuring employers about their choice.
Cost of Hiring a Detective for a Moral Character Investigation of an Associate
The consequences of a poor partnership can be catastrophic for a company, leading to significant financial losses and reputational damage. The cost of a moral character investigation is often a worthwhile investment. For example, a bad partnership can incur thousands of euros in legal fees and commercial losses, whereas a preliminary investigation represents only a fraction of this cost.
