Infidelity Surveillance Abroad by Private Investigator in Portugal
In May 2022, Privin Network was retained by a U.S.-based client to conduct an infidelity surveillance investigation in Lisbon, Portugal. The client suspected their partner, traveling internationally, of engaging in potentially inappropriate behavior during a multi-day stay in the country.
Our client provided detailed pre-surveillance data including arrival dates, hotel information, and photographs of individuals to monitor for association. The investigation required international coordination, discreet shadowing in nightlife areas, and professional verification of behavioral patterns without violating privacy laws or alerting the subject.
Surveillance Strategy and Execution
Objective:
Determine whether the subject engaged in any romantic or inappropriate activity during his trip, and whether he was in the company of known individuals flagged by the client. The investigation aimed to document patterns of nightlife behavior, social interaction, and possible deception while abroad. Findings would assist the client in making informed personal and legal decisions based on verified conduct.
Methodology:
- Mobile and static surveillance near Hotel Bessa in central Lisbon
- Mobile surveillance was accompanied by both car and motorbike
- Tracking of subject’s nightlife movements through Principe Real and Bairro Alto
- Interior canvassing of public hotel spaces and permitted areas
- Monitoring social interactions and phone usage behavior
Key Observations and Findings
May 5, 2022:
- Subject was first observed late in the evening, visiting multiple bars and clubs including Finalmente Club and Bairro Alto venues
- He remained largely alone or engaged in brief, surface-level social interactions
- Subject was not seen with any of the men identified by the client
- Returned to hotel alone (assumed based on timing and trajectory)
May 6, 2022:
- Subject dined alone at a nearby restaurant
- Later that night, returned to the nightlife district, revisiting previously visited clubs
- No flirtatious or intimate contact observed, though interactions may have indicated familiarity
- Visually confirmed return to hotel alone at approx. 6:50am
Summary and Outcome
Over two consecutive nights of surveillance, no romantic interaction or questionable behavior was observed. The subject visited numerous social venues but did not engage in behavior that would clearly indicate infidelity. Additionally, he was never seen with the specific individuals the client flagged in advance. This case is a reminder that not all cases have a grim outcome, and sometimes peace of mind is worth its weight in gold.
Our report, accompanied by timestamps and photographic records, provided the client with objective documentation and peace of mind backed by discreet, lawful international surveillance.
