What Are International Investigations \u2014 and What Can Be Investigated Across Borders?

International investigations are investigative engagements that cross national boundaries \u2014 involving subjects, assets, evidence, or conduct located outside the United States. The DOJ\u2019s Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) enforcement framework illustrates the standard for international investigation documentation \u2014 requiring that evidence gathered abroad be collected in a manner consistent with both the foreign jurisdiction\u2019s laws and U.S. court admissibility requirements. For California-based litigants, this means the investigator must understand both what can legally be gathered internationally and how to document it for California and federal court use.

International investigations commonly cover: offshore asset tracing in high-net-worth divorce and fraud recovery cases; international background checks on foreign business partners, investors, and executives; cross-border fraud investigation involving wire transfers, cryptocurrency, or digital financial crime; foreign national due diligence for M&A transactions and joint ventures; international corporate espionage and trade secret cases; locating persons, assets, or evidence across multiple jurisdictions; and digital forensics involving cloud infrastructure, servers, or accounts hosted internationally.

Every international investigation at Xpozzed Digital Forensics is conducted under California BSIS PI License No. 190161, with all findings documented to California and federal court admissibility standards.
