Running away doesn’t always mean you’re home free; sometimes, it means you’ll get a foreign subpoena! In the United States, a witness is called to court through a subpoena. This subpoena can be delivered by a lawyer or a private investigator. It’s not uncommon for a person to flee from the country to avoid being subpoenaed. They may also want to leave America for other reasons, such as family or travel. There’s strict limitations regarding foreign subpoena between each country and America, all stated within the border agreements. Some countries won’t let an American deliver a subpoena to a resident, at all! Oftentimes, it depends on the severity of the case and what country the person fled to. There are Supreme Court laws that outline these regulations. This month’s case is about an American who left for Europe to avoid a subpoena.
Run Away To The Netherlands
RGH Investigations was hired to serve a subpoena to an American citizen who left for the Netherlands. It seems like a daunting task! How can RGH Investigations find someone outside of the area we know? We are located in Chicago, finding someone so far away seems impossible. To start, a private investigator must follow the law in America and the Netherlands. The Hague Convention is a cross border set of laws that allows for countries to work together to solve cases. RGH Investigations determined through the Hague that any American citizen who is located within the borders of the EU and is under the Hague Convention law, the lawsuit carries over to that country. So, with legal means, we started our investigation. Alongside a Danish private investigator, RGH Investigations pinpointed the person by using social media. We retrieved photos of neighborhood license plates online, and tried to match it with the subject’s potential car. The local private investigator accessed additional resources, and we found out where the subject lived. RGH, along with the Danish investigators, served the subject. We are awaiting an answer to the lawsuit.
Why Use a Private Investigator For A Foreign Subpoena?
Private investigators are experts at locating people all across the world. A police officer or local lawyer usually doesn’t contain the legal power or knowledge to find someone overseas. A private investigator has specialized training and experience in locating people and accessing information. They are especially useful when dealing with people who are trying to hide. We use the latest techniques in private investigation to find the subject. Also, safety plays a role in a successful foreign subpoena.
