Overview: Locating a Key Witness Abroad for Litigation Purposes
In March 2024, Privin Network was contacted by a U.S.-based law firm to locate a critical witness in an ongoing personal injury lawsuit. The subject, a commercial driver named in a police accident report, had been struck by the plaintiff and was believed to be residing on the island of Mauritius, in the Pamplemousses District. His testimony was considered crucial to the defense, and locating him was the first step toward arranging a remote deposition.
The challenge: the subject had no digital presence, limited public records, and was frequently mobile due to his profession as a taxi operator.
Locate Strategy and Tactics Used
Our local investigators in Mauritius initiated the case by focusing on the Mont Gout region, the last known locality tied to the subject. Understanding that many homes in this area do not follow numbered address systems, our strategy centered on neighborhood-level surveillance and in-person interviews, executed with cultural sensitivity.
- Surveillance and Drive-Through Checks: Agents canvassed Rue Rajwanee and surrounding roads to identify visual markers and community cues.
- Discreet Neighborhood Canvassing: Investigators engaged with residents under pretext to gather unofficial confirmation.
- Cross-Referencing Business Activity: Through regulatory checks and license validation, we confirmed the subject was operating a taxi company from this location (License #[Redacted]).
Key Findings
- The subject’s confirmed residence is located in Mont Gout, Rue Rajwanee, in the District of Pamplemousses, Mauritius.
- The house has no official street number — a common occurrence in the region.
- Discreet local inquiry confirmed both the residence and the business activity at the same address.
- Subject operated a licensed taxi service from the location and is frequently absent during working hours.
Outcome: Subject Successfully Located for Legal Follow-Up
Privin Network delivered a verified residential and business location report, backed by field intelligence and cross-confirmed licensing information. This allowed the law firm to proceed with plans to coordinate a remote deposition or identify a suitable location for in-person testimony if required.
