Questions frequent.
Answers to the most common questions about Arcadia Company, a private investigation agency in Milan: services, authorisations, evidential validity and contact methods.
What does Arcadia Company do?
Arcadia Company is a licensed investigative agency based in Sesto San Giovanni, on the outskirts of Milan, active since 2017. We work in four areas: private investigations (marital infidelity, child custody, missing‑person searches, criminal defence investigations), corporate investigations (absenteeism and sick‑leave fraud, unfair competition, due diligence, asset investigations and OSINT), TSCM electronic and IT sweeps against bugs, hidden cameras and trojans, and security services and training courses. We operate under a Prefectural licence pursuant to art. 134 T.U.L.P.S., with ISO 9001:2015 certification and FEDERPOL membership. Every assignment is handled by licensed investigators, with a documented chain of custody so that the evidence collected can be used in court. The first consultation, exploratory and confidential, is always free: we reply within 24 hours.
Is Arcadia Company an authorized agency?
Yes. Arcadia Company operates under a Prefectural licence issued pursuant to art. 134 of the T.U.L.P.S. (Ministry of the Interior registration no. MI-14120/12B15E), the authorisation Italian law requires to carry out private investigative work. Only licensed agencies may gather information on behalf of third parties and file it in legal proceedings: relying on an unlicensed party exposes the client to the risk of the evidence being declared unusable. We are also ISO 9001:2015 certified for process quality and are members of FEDERPOL - Federazione Italiana degli Istituti Privati per le Investigazioni, per le Informazioni e per la Sicurezza. Every investigation is conducted in full compliance with personal data protection law (GDPR and D.Lgs. 196/2003) and the measures of the Italian Data Protection Authority. You can verify our credentials on the Certifications and authorisations page.
Is the evidence collected valid in court?
Yes. Investigative reports drafted by a licensed agency can be filed in court as documentary evidence, both in civil proceedings (separations, fault in separation, child custody, employment disputes) and in criminal matters through the defence investigations governed by arts. 327-bis and 391-bis et seq. of the Code of Criminal Procedure. According to the established case law of the Court of Cassation, evidence is usable when it is collected in compliance with the law and with personal dignity, without violating the home or correspondence. That is why our dossiers record the date, place and method of each observation, include photographs and videos with a traceable chain of custody, and our investigators are available to testify at hearings to confirm what has been documented, bearing in mind that the judge assesses the evidence freely. On request, we work in coordination with your lawyer to focus the investigation on the elements that truly matter for the case.
Where do you operate?
Our operational headquarters are in Sesto San Giovanni, at Piazza Don Enrico Mapelli, 60, on the outskirts of Milan and a few minutes from the city centre via metro lines M1 and M5. We work daily in Milan and across Lombardy - Monza, Bergamo, Brescia, Como, Varese, Lecco, Lodi, Pavia and the surrounding area - and handle assignments throughout Italy, including travel outside the region when the investigation requires it. For international needs (tracing people, due diligence on foreign companies, travel security) we rely on a network of correspondents abroad. Our base in Sesto San Giovanni allows us to cover the Milan area with fast response times while keeping costs lower than city‑centre firms. We can meet you at our offices, at your law firm or by confidential video call.
