How Private Detectives Can Help During the World Cup 2026
Private Investigators will have an important role to play during the 2026 World Cup, particularly for businesses, event organizers, and commercial partners. They can assist by:
Fraud prevention and investigation (including counterfeiting of tickets, fake accreditations and identity fraud).
Protect brands from counterfeit merchandise and unauthorized use of official trademarks and logos.
Pre-travel or pre-public appearance security for VIPs, including background checks, threat assessments, and intelligence gathering.
Carrying out internal inquiries with regard to theft, leakage of information, employee misconduct, or fraud.
Investigating the whereabouts of individuals or property, if permitted by law.
Gathering information to be used in a private, civil, commercial, or administrative proceeding.
Private investigators, however, cannot: conduct arrests;
Carry out verification of identity; search or seize a person or property;
Act as a substitute for the police or official security services.
The main objective of their profession is to prevent risks, defend lawful intelligence, conduct private inquiries, and report their discoveries to their clients or, when the case may be, to the proper authorities.
