Asset Tracing. Czech Republic & Offshore Jurisdictions

Our Solution:

CSI Group conducted an in-depth investigation into the financial affairs of a debtor, focusing on assets potentially concealed in the Czech Republic and various offshore jurisdictions.

A dormant real estate company linked to the debtor was identified in the Czech corporate registry. Though the company had officially divested all assets over a decade ago, further investigation into its registered address revealed otherwise. The premises were tied to a residential apartment that had been transferred from the company to the debtor’s mother, and later to the joint ownership fund of a homeowners' association.

Following the dissolution of the association, the management of the asset was passed to a corporate entity registered in Malta.

A review of Malta’s corporate registry revealed that power of attorney for managing this entity had been issued by a representative of a Cypriot company.

Subsequent analysis of the Cyprus corporate filings allowed us to examine annual reports, identify the full list of beneficial owners, and obtain apostilled documents — including powers of attorney — issued by Russian nationals, complete with personal signatures and passport details.

These findings were submitted to a Czech court, supporting a legal request to seize the apartment as part of the debt recovery process.
