A criminal complaint opens the route to prosecutorial account freezes.

2
Your bank

SEPA recalls can be raised where a domestic transfer is involved.

Do this whether or not you engage us. It costs nothing, and it creates the record every later step relies on.

Legal tools available
  • Arrest (dinglicher Arrest) — pre-judgment attachment of assets
  • Einstweilige Verfügung — interim injunctive relief
  • Prosecutorial seizure of accounts holding traceable proceeds
What these terms mean
Realistic timeframe

Urgent attachment can be granted within one to three weeks on a complete file.

Worth knowing
  • Evidence must be sworn and translated. Incomplete files are the main cause of delay, not the courts.

What we do not claim

We are an investigations firm, not a law firm and not a regulator. We do not provide legal advice, we do not guarantee recovery, and no timeframe on this page is a promise. Where court steps are needed, they are taken by instructing solicitors in the relevant jurisdiction, and every disbursement is quoted to you in writing beforehand.
