The private detective operates legally and holds accreditation, allowing the evidence collected to be used before the competent jurisdiction.<\/p><p>Moreover, recent jurisprudential developments in the area of unfair competition expand the possibilities for private detective interventions (see &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.afip-detective.com\/remise-en-question-moyens-de-preuve-en-concurrence-deloyale\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">La remise en question des moyens de preuves en mati\u00e8re de concurrence d\u00e9loyale<\/a>&#8220;).
