For prosecutors
International money flows and cryptocurrencies increase the investigative requirements.
Money laundering under Section 261 of the German Criminal Code (StGB) is not an ordinary offense. Today, illicit assets are systematically concealed through complex corporate structures, international payment flows, and the use of cryptocurrencies. What appears outwardly to be legitimate business activity often turns out, upon closer analysis, to be a complex web of shell companies, offshore structures, and targeted layering techniques.
For public prosecutors, this means: high time pressure, increased demands on the presentation of evidence – and a volume of transaction data that can hardly be fully and systematically evaluated using their own resources.
This is precisely where financial forensics comes in with specialized financial forensic analysis.
Structured analysis for investigation and confiscation proceedings
We analyze transaction data from bank accounts, cryptocurrencies and alternative payment systems – systematically, comprehensively and completely, even with large data sets.
From the predicate offense through placement and layering to integration: We fully reconstruct money laundering networks – across multiple jurisdictions, offshore structures and cryptocurrencies.
Bank statements, accounting documents, digital data carriers – we evaluate what searches yield and prepare the results in a structured manner for the investigation file of the public prosecutor's office and investigative authorities.
Corporate structures, trust relationships, nominee structures: We make visible who actually pulls the strings behind complex participation structures – according to § 3 GwG.
Our investigation reports are structured in such a way that they can be directly incorporated into indictments or used as a basis for main hearings – methodically transparent and fully documented.
Quantifying the proceeds of the crime, identifying assets subject to seizure, and substantiating applications for arrest under Sections 111b et seq. of the Code of Criminal Procedure – we provide the basis for successful confiscation under Sections 73 et seq. of the Criminal Code..
Legally sound analysis for complex money laundering cases
Money laundering investigations require a precise integration of legal assessment and financial forensic analysis. We understand the requirements of the Code of Criminal Procedure as well as the specifics of asset recovery and prepare complex transaction structures so that they are immediately admissible in court. Our analyses are documented in a structured, transparent, and legally sound manner. This enables efficient cooperation with public prosecutors and investigative authorities, supports the drafting of precise indictments, and facilitates the presentation of evidence in trials.
This means: no results that you then have to painstakingly translate. Instead, you get structured, legally sound documents that directly support your work.

Our cooperation with public prosecutors and investigative authorities is always discreet, legally compliant and takes into account the special requirements of official cooperation.
We support public prosecutors and investigative authorities in analyzing complex payment flows, reconstructing intricate transaction chains, and identifying beneficial owners. Our reports are prepared in a legally sound manner and are directly admissible in legal proceedings – particularly in cases under Section 261 of the German Criminal Code.
Financial forensics creates transparency in complex financial structures. It enables the seamless tracing of money flows, the identification of concealment techniques (layering, offshore structures, cryptocurrencies), and the legally sound documentation of the elements of the offense under Section 261 of the German Criminal Code.
Yes. Our reports are structured in such a way that they can be directly incorporated into indictments or used as a basis for trials. Methodology, data sources, and analysis steps are documented transparently and comprehensibly.
We quantify the proceeds of the crime, identify assets subject to seizure, and provide the analytical basis for asset seizures under Sections 111b et seq. of the German Code of Criminal Procedure. Our work significantly increases the likelihood of success in confiscation proceedings.
We conduct blockchain analysis, reconstruct wallet movements, and identify transaction chains across cryptocurrency exchanges, mixers, and privacy coins. Our goal is the complete and legally sound tracking of digital assets.
Typical scenarios include VAT carousels, real estate money laundering, shell company and offshore structures, organized crime (§ 129 StGB) and international money laundering networks with cross-border payment flows.
We systematically analyze bank statements, accounting documents, and digital data carriers. Specialized analysis tools are used to process large amounts of data in a structured, complete, and legally sound manner.
Admissible in court means that our analyses are comprehensibly documented, methodologically transparent, and usable according to the requirements of the Code of Criminal Procedure. The goal is to present solid evidence without any grounds for challenge in the main trial.
Financial forensic support is particularly useful when dealing with large amounts of transaction data, international payment flows, cryptocurrencies, or complex corporate structures. It enables a structured and legally sound analysis, even in highly data-intensive cases.
In a confidential initial consultation, we will jointly analyze the specifics of the process, identify the support needs, and develop a structured analytical approach. The collaboration will be conducted discreetly and in compliance with regulatory requirements.
