Dear Corporate Citizen!
After thirty years of international business / industry experience, we have
chosen to concentrate and develop our private / finance detective firm,
assisting companies, individuals and organisations – with an emphasis on
commerce and finance – in Scandinavia and northeast Europe, also into the
Americas, southwest Europe, Africa and Asia.
Winston Churchill quipped that “America will do the right thing – once it has
exhausted all other opportunities”; and it is wildly dangerous to assume that
Russia’s future will simply be an extrapolition of its present, when even
Russians say it is impossible to predict anything in their country – even the
past; and the eurozone is confronted with a crisis of not just labor costs and
prices – but culture and work ethics, despite some of its members having
pockets as deep as the Mariana Trench.
Surely politicians recognize that entrepeneurs accept levels of risk that no
rational person would contemplate, albeit most people want one thing more
than even love– peace of mind.
Decline is not a condition, but a choice and instead of letting out a cri du
coeur and eating humble pie, we would like to see finance less proud and
industry more secure.
The first imperative must be to restore security; without security, running a
business successfully, is like having “turtle soup without the turtle”.
In extremis, amid global financial and trade conflicts, a self-sufficient
America might see things occur that have not occurred before, although
they have occurred in Europe, albeit [America] might confound the unusual
with the abstruse.
Being able to develop Walhallen Finance / Private Detectives into a truly
integrated, global and robustly competent group is a privilege, and this
mainly due to having the opportunity of gathering the most talented private
investigators / detectives available: from Russia-Ukraine-Germany-Sweden-
Norway-France-China-USA-Kenya and Brazil.

3. Our private detectives, from armed forces-intelligence services-business-
academia, will convincingly add value to customers and clients with positive
terra firma ambitions for years ahead – and, not only in their own countries,
albeit worldwide, which is our factual modus vivendi: A Global Private
Finance and Business Detective, specialising in industrial undercover work
and counterindustrial espionage, including advanced Technical Surveillance
CounterMeasures (TSCM).
“Trade follows the flag”, declared Cecil Rhodes, and as globalization forces
many companies to move strategic assets abroad, even to another
continent – terra nullius / no man’s land, there is a need to be en garde, if
not actually aux armes. However, the Mafia - the Mob - the Cosa Nostra -
the Camorra - the 'Ndrangheta - the Yakuza, and other criminal groups are
cunning, no more.
In contacts with these, and other monstra horrendum - before contacting
private detectives / private investigators - I would paraphrase Theodore
Roosevelt: "Speak softly, but carry a big stick." Often, when you want adult
behaviour, treat people like babies; while we believe humans are rational,
their behaviour is constantly the opposite.
To be beaten by one of your own is not as bad as be beaten by a foreign
one, however, and roaring like a mouse, fighting like a flea singing “Give me
your arm, old tod; Help me down Cemetary Road” would make us appear
useful idiots. A proper attitude can turn a burden to a blessing, a trial to a
triumph.
Being part of a diapora in dire straits, one can be comfortable imagining
existing alongside an independent judiciary rather than in a smash’n grab
society – Raubwirtschaft. However, possession is nine tenths of the law,
and with foreign officials reasoning – “I am with my brother against a
cousin, and with my cousin against a stranger”, many bona fide intentions
will be jeopardized.
Growth and developing economies hide a thousand sins, and with the cruel
clarity afforded by distance, you might realize you have interests rather than
friends. For example, the recent murder of a middle-aged (41 year-old)
British businessman – supposedly Aston Martin’s representative in Beijing –
and a close friend of one of China’s fourteen most powerful politicians (Bo
Xilai-now imprisoned), adds an international dimension to this country’s
most serious political upheaval in two decades, and exposes uncomfortable
truths about how business and politics are conducted in the world’s second-
largest economy.
In this area of the world your enemy's enemy is probably your enemy too.

4. Always use international, experienced private detective-s / private
investigator-s in developing / transition economy countries when you need
fast, accurate and reliable CCCI [Control-Command-Communication-
Intelligence]. There are effective and efficient bureaus beyond Walhallen -
that we can recommend - for a great many lesser undertakings.
Too tough a bargaining for low private detective / private investigator
retainer fees could cost you dearly, indeed - nota bene! - more precious
things.
The verb corrumpere means destroy in Latin, and having seen that
[corruption], as plaintiffs’ private detective in commercial and criminal courts
numerous times, we agreed to co-found The International Intelligence
Institute of Criminology (www.wiiic.org). The Principal Investigator of WIIIC
welcomes any information of corruption, grand thefts, miscarriages of
justice etc. “Shame and silence are cousins” – right?
The Institute will be able to provide unbiased Independent Business
Resolutions’ Schemes, lightening the burden of courts-prosecutors-lawyers-
accountants, who often miss the “red flags” that a private detective detects,
as well as carry out Forensic Audits and Impairment Tests; and this in
addition to hosting an academic research and education group focusing on
Intellectual Property and Patented Technology.
The Romans used to assess situations metaphorically, e g: Cum catapultae
proscripta erunt, tum soli proscript catapultas habebunt – "When catapults
are outlawed, only outlaws will have catapults". Their reasoning implies
“rules replace common sense and reason”.
In a fair and just society, with archaic European and American legal
practices – often hiding behind procedure – and an international institutional
machinery that grinds along at a pace that would shame snails,
preparedness is the key to success and victory. Western governments also
often “piggy-back” on existing national investigations rather than undertake
their own probes, creating “double jeopardy” by triggering separate
prosecutions of the same case in different jurisdictions.
Modern business and private lives are complex, and many sang-froid
judges realize not even they are equipped to parse the facts; proximity to
real power, though, is intoxicating – and misplaced pride melts away.
Retaining an International Private Detective should be a “game-changer” –
levelling the playing field; not looking sheepish – without proof or evidence.

5. Throughout college- and university, I worked as a shop/department store
detective, ordinary guard, heavily armed body-guard
for Ambassadors / Charge d’Affaires from Germany, England, Yugoslavia,
the U.S., Iran and Russia, as well as within the Swedish Penitentiary /
Prison Authority; later as chairman of an authorized guard- and patrol
company, and as an international legal administrator, approved by Swedish
courts, in Poland, Russia and Ukraine.
My partners and associates may on occasion exceed me in experience and
ability, alas and albeit, the private detective team courage d'esprit
will always be decisive and of paramount importance.
A crisis is a terrible thing to waste – and should worse come to worse – it’s
not part of private detectives’ job description to add mirth to the party, but
provide and demonstrate solid, tangible, admissible evidence and stark
proof....
