Private investigator in Como.

For anyone looking for a private investigator in Como, the province on Lake Como has particular needs: a compact provincial capital where people know each other, lakeside villages with their seasonal rhythms, the business-oriented Como side of Brianza and a long border strip with Switzerland. Arcadia Company covers all of this from its office in Sesto San Giovanni, on the outskirts of Milan, about 45 kilometres from Como. We do not have an office in Como: the consultation takes place at our office or remotely, and our operators work on site.

We are an authorized investigation agency holding a Prefectural License pursuant to art. 134 T.U.L.P.S., UNI EN ISO 9001:2015 certified and a FEDERPOL member. Every assignment is based on a written mandate and ends with a technical report the client's lawyer can use.

The Swiss border: what changes for an investigation

The province of Como borders the Canton of Ticino, and thousands of residents cross the border every day to work as cross-border commuters. This comes into many investigations: the former spouse who declares a modest income but works permanently in Switzerland, the employee on sick leave who keeps travelling to another job across the border. The first point to clarify is the scope: the prefectural licence is valid on Italian territory. Our observation activities take place in Italy and document what is visible from here (times, movements, regular crossings at the border post, standard of living), that is, the elements from which the lawyer can start in order to ask the judge for the inquiries within the judge's powers. What happens on Swiss territory remains outside our direct activity, and you should be wary of anyone who promises otherwise.

Como businesses: textiles, furniture, tourism

Como's economy ranges from the silk and textile district to furniture-making around Cantù, through to tourism and hospitality on the lake. For companies we carry out investigations into unfair competition and non-compete agreements (common in sectors where the value lies in designs, sample collections and customer relationships), absenteeism and shortages. For hotels, restaurants and shops, an investigative mystery client discreetly checks the honesty of customer-facing staff, for example in handling the takings.

The Court of Como and investigations for families

Cases involving residents of the province are generally heard before the Court of Como, with appeals in Milan. For individuals we handle cases of marital infidelity, child custody, review of maintenance payments and premarital checks. In a provincial capital of modest size discretion matters even more: observation must be planned so that the operators do not become familiar faces and the person being observed does not become suspicious.

The municipalities we cover

We operate in Como and throughout the province: Cantù, Erba, Mariano Comense, Olgiate Comasco, Lomazzo, the lakeside towns up to the upper lake and the border strip. From the same base we cover Varese, Monza and Brianza and Milan. The full picture is on our territorial coverage page.

Costs and contacts
