What is a complaint filing?
Filing a complaint allows a person to inform the justice system that an offense has been committed and that they claim to be a victim of it. Pursuing the complaint can lead to the penal sanction of the perpetrator. The victim can become a civil party if they wish to obtain compensation for their damage (damages).
Therefore, penal evidence is indispensable for the accuser who wishes to file a complaint. It is up to them to gather the admissible evidence. They must provide elements demonstrating the existence of a fact or the intention an individual had to commit a penal offense.
It is preferable to build a solid case by relying on the services of a private detective to ensure the complaint is deemed admissible and not dismissed. The work of the private detective complements that of the lawyer who will support the complaint. In the exceptional case where the complaint is still dismissed, it is possible to directly approach the prosecutor to initiate legal action. Approaching the prosecutor requires conclusive elements that a private detective can provide. Visit “https://www.service-public.fr/simulateur/calcul/Porter_plainte” to prepare your complaint online.

Who has the right to hire a detective for complaint preparation?
Anyone who feels aggrieved by a crime or offense, whether a natural person or a legal entity, can hire a private detective to help build a case for preparing a complaint to defend their interests.
What are the possible interventions of a detective in a case related to complaint preparation?
A private detective can employ all necessary means to gather evidence to strengthen a case for filing a complaint against a third party. The evidence presented before the criminal court is broadly admissible as it aims to stop a public order disturbance if it is proven that the magistrate cannot let it continue.
Thus, the private investigator can conduct administrative investigations, surveillance, and tailing to identify the responsible party(ies) for the offense and highlight their responsibility(ies) in the said offense.
Why hire a private detective to gather evidence for preparing a complaint?
The intervention of a private detective for preparing a complaint can potentially identify the perpetrator(s) of the offense and avoid filing a complaint against an unknown party.
The detective’s work can also enable the presumed victim to confidently become a civil party, relying on the evidence provided by the detective to be protected from a possible false accusation complaint by the initially accused person.
It is crucial to be well-supported when filing a complaint to approach this difficult step with peace of mind, but one should not remain silent! Filing a complaint generally helps to relieve a moral burden and start the healing process. The private detective provides the sought-after support during the complaint filing to ensure you are not alone facing the judicial system.
