GRMS will complete a search of the person’s name and DOB against The Lexis Nexis Global Criminality Database which is the largest database of international criminality information available. It has over 170 million records sourced from government, court and other data sources, translated from their local language to English as required and constitutes “best available practice” when attempting to identify the possibility of criminal activity on any principal, director or stakeholder. This service includes checking watch lists such as Interpol’s Most Wanted, Dubai Police Most Wanted and the International War Crimes Tribunal, thus ensuring your checks are always legal. Many overseas private investigators bribe officials to get criminal information and this exposes the requestor to prosecution abroad and in the USA under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) because criminal record information (police and court files) is not in the public domain in many countries and accessing it in contradiction with local guidelines is a criminal offense.
