Our team of investigators in Colombia are some of the most trustworthy and resourceful in the industry. We understand that choosing the right team to help you tackle your problems can be difficult, and we hope you take advantage of our free consultation. We are always standing by 24/7 to examine your case, and answer any questions you may have.
Our success is based on your success, and here are some of the many professional services our local private detectives in Colombia can provide:
Personal Investigations:
Not everyone is always who they say they are. Whether it’s an individual or a corporation, determine who they are and why they’re there.
Background Checks:
Identify and confirm pertinent information about an individual for an important decision, often starting with Colombia’s Certificado de Antecedentes Judiciales, the free criminal record certificate issued online by the National Police.
Surveillance
An organization or individual may find that they need surveillance help due to suspicious behavior or due to a situation or event that may have occurred.
International Investigations:
If you have a business relationship or are contemplating a new business venture in Colombia, it’s not uncommon to need the services of a private investigator to verify good information about an individual or corporation.
Locate Investigations:
With our investigative skills, we can help you gain addresses and phone numbers for locating individuals.
Cybercrimes and Digital Forensics:
Equipped with the right technology and a highly skilled staff of professional Investigative specialists, we can assist you in identifying a suspect, the purpose of an attack, and how it occurred. Colombia’s Ley 1273 de 2009 criminalizes unauthorized access to a computer system under Article 269A, punishable by 48 to 96 months in prison plus a fine, giving digital forensic findings gathered here a real statutory basis to stand on.
Infidelity – Adultery Marital Investigations:
A marriage or relationship brings with it the expectations of monogamy, but many find themselves in situations where this expectation is not being met by one or both of the individuals involved. Extramarital sexual relations are one of ten specific grounds for divorce under Article 154 of Colombia’s Civil Code, though a claim on this specific ground must be filed within one year of the innocent spouse learning of the infidelity.

Private investigators in Colombia have a long and storied history that began in the early 20th century, shortly after the country gained independence from Spanish rule. In the early years, private investigators were primarily hired to investigate crimes, monitor political activities, and handle cases involving suspicious behavior. As Colombia continued to develop its legal and political systems throughout the 20th century, the role of private investigators expanded, evolving into a more structured and professional field.
By the 1970s and 1980s, private investigation in Colombia became more prominent as the country faced increasing issues related to drug trafficking, organized crime, and political instability. The need for discreet and effective investigative services grew, and private investigators were called upon to assist in both criminal and corporate investigations.
Today, Colombia has a well-established private investigation sector, with many professionals specializing in various areas such as corporate investigations, criminal investigations, fraud detection, and more. The profession is regulated, and private investigators are required to be licensed and adhere to specific legal standards to ensure their work meets ethical and legal guidelines.
Recording a conversation you are personally part of is generally lawful in Colombia. Recording or intercepting a private conversation between other people without consent is a separate matter: Article 197 of the Penal Code punishes unlawfully recording another person’s words with one to four years in prison plus a fine, and Article 192 separately punishes illegally intercepting private communications directed at someone else.
