How can you check that an investigation agency is licensed?

In Italy, every private investigation agency must hold a licence issued by the Prefecture under article 134 TULPS, and its number must appear on its documents and website. Phersei operates under licence no. 14255/12B15E issued by the Prefecture of Milan, held by Marzio Ferrario.

Can the evidence gathered by Phersei be used in court?

Yes, provided it has been collected lawfully. Phersei conducts its investigations within the limits set by privacy law and Italian employment law, and provides investigation reports that can be submitted in civil and criminal proceedings.

Is the information provided to Phersei kept confidential?

Yes. Every assignment is handled with the utmost confidentiality, and personal data is processed in compliance with the GDPR.

Does Phersei work abroad?

Yes, through the network of the World Association of Detectives, of which Phersei is a member.

What can a private investigator not do?

A private investigator cannot intercept phone calls, messages or emails, or access phone records, bank accounts or other restricted databases: these activities are reserved to the judicial authorities. Phersei only uses lawful methods (surveillance, photo and video documentation, open sources, technical analysis) so that the evidence is valid and the client is not exposed to legal risk.

Does Phersei work with lawyers?

Yes. In addition to assignments from private clients and companies, Phersei carries out defence investigations on behalf of lawyers, under article 391-bis of the Italian Code of Criminal Procedure, and supports law firms in gathering evidence for civil cases.

How does the first contact work?

The first consultation is free and without obligation: the case is assessed together to determine whether and how to proceed.

Who can hire Phersei?

Private clients, companies, law firms and public bodies, for needs ranging from family matters to the protection of company assets, security and intelligence.

Can anyone be investigated?

No. Under Italian law, a private investigation is only possible if the client has a right to protect or a legitimate interest, which usually arises from a legal relationship with the person being investigated, such as a marriage, children, or a contract or assets in common. For example, an unmarried couple cannot start an infidelity investigation, because Italian law does not impose a duty of fidelity between partners who are not married. Before accepting an assignment, Phersei always checks that this requirement is met.

Debt collection for those without property

A "noblesse oblige" is an individual who does not own any property and does not receive any income or benefits. So, it is obvious that a noblesse oblige does not own any attachable assets, so how to attach a noblesse oblige? Debt collection: What can I attach to a pauper?

Who is a pauper?

An individual can also be a holder of non-possessory assets, such as a pensioner who has a pension of less than the minimum subsistence level, or who owns assets that are derisory or of no value at a judicial auction. In these cases the owner cannot be subjected to forced execution.

Therefore, a nullity in the specific is the one who:

does not own real estate other than the first house;
receives only the minimum vital pension: does not receive any salary or rent;
is not the holder of a disability pension or of the right to compensation for damages;
does not hold a postal or bank account; is not entitled to payment of debts;
is not in possession of bonds or bank securities;
is not in possession of cars in addition to the means of transport for the exercise of business or profession.

It often happens that persons owning goods try to hide their possession by naming them after third parties in order to avoid having goods subject to attachment. This, however, does not make them totally exempt from possible attachment.

As soon as the actual state of nullity is ascertained, the creditor cannot enforce the right of credit, so the null debtor does not run any risk.

In these cases, how can the creditor act towards an effective nullity? In this case, the assignor of the credit guarantees only the existence of the same, and not the solvency of the debtor.
