Aquila Group in Corsica: A Network Active on the Island
Are you looking for a private investigator in Corsica? The Aquila Group coordinates the work of licensed private investigators CNAPS across the entire island, from Southern Corsica to Northern Corsica.
As of now, our network does not have a physical office in Corsica. Depending on the nature of your case, we will assign either a licensed investigator already based on the island or a detective from our national network sent on assignment, with the same requirements for CNAPS licensing and legal admissibility as in our long-standing offices.
Whether you are facing a sensitive family matter (divorce, child custody, inheritance) or a delicate professional issue (internal fraud, unfair competition, suspicious sick leave), we gather the admissible evidence you need to assert your rights in court.
Aquila Group in Corsica (2A / 2B)
The Aquila Group provides its investigative services in Corsica, coordinating operations from its historic Paris headquarters and through its network of partner investigators based on the island. This organizational structure allows us to operate throughout Corsica, in both Southern Corsica and Northern Corsica.
Corsica has unique characteristics that require specialized expertise: its insular nature, a pronounced seasonal tourism pattern that causes the population of certain coastal towns to swell in the summer, scattered settlements in mountainous areas, and a road network that can be limited in winter. Our investigators adapt their investigative methods to these constraints.
Corsica is divided into two distinct judicial districts: the Ajaccio Judicial Court for Southern Corsica (2A) and the Bastia Judicial Court for Northern Corsica (2B). Our investigative reports are drafted to be admissible in either of these jurisdictions.
How do we operate in Corsica?
Thanks to its national network, the Aquila Group can quickly dispatch a private investigator to Corsica. Our presence in the PACA region, with offices in Marseille, Nice, Aix-en-Provence, Fréjus, and Toulon, makes this local support possible: Toulon is only a few hours by ferry from Ajaccio, which allows us to arrange for an investigator to travel there on short notice, even for urgent assignments.
For assignments requiring an immediate presence on the island or in-depth knowledge of the local area, we can also engage a CNAPS-certified subcontracted investigator who is already based in Corsica. In both cases—whether the investigator travels from the mainland or is a local subcontractor—the individual CNAPS accreditation of the assigned investigator is systematically verified, as this is an essential requirement for the report to be admissible in a French court.
The residents of Corsica face complex personal and family situations that often require the services of a private investigator to uncover the truth with solid evidence.
Divorce and Infidelity in Corsica
Do you suspect your spouse of infidelity in Corsica? The island setting makes discretion difficult: in many villages, everyone knows each other, which requires investigators specifically trained in surveillance in small communities. Our investigators gather evidence of adultery that can be used in court before the Family Court judge in Ajaccio or Bastia.
This evidence can significantly strengthen your divorce case: spousal support, division of property, and child custody. Our experience with family law disputes in Corsica allows us to anticipate the expectations of the judges and produce reports that your attorney can use immediately.
Child Custody and Parental Authority
In disputes regarding children’s residence following a separation, the Family Court Judge in Ajaccio or Bastia relies on objective factual evidence. We document your children’s actual living conditions: adherence to custody schedules, schooling, family environment, and the custodial parent’s actual presence.
In Corsica, where many families are split between the island and the mainland, establishing the actual presence of each parent is often crucial. Our investigations provide the objective evidence that is essential to protecting your interests and those of your children.
We also verify that child support payments are actually being made and can locate a parent who has failed to meet their obligations.
Searching for People in Corsica
Locating a person on an island where travel is influenced by seasonal patterns and where sea or air connections to the mainland are limited requires a tailored approach. Whether you’re searching for a missing loved one, a debtor, or an heir in connection with an estate, our detectives draw on their networks, professional databases, and investigative techniques to locate the individuals you’re seeking.
Frequent travel between Corsica and the mainland makes this research complex, but our knowledge of the island and our proven methods enable us to achieve concrete results.
Inheritance and Joint Ownership in Corsica
Corsica has a history marked by complex and long-standing cases of undivided estates. We step in to verify who is actually occupying a property, locate heirs scattered across the island and the mainland, or document the misappropriation of an inheritance from a vulnerable person.
Corsica’s economy, centered on tourism, construction, and local businesses, presents specific investigative challenges to which our detectives provide tailored solutions.
Abuse of Sick Leave in Corsica
Is an employee on sick leave in Corsica engaged in an activity incompatible with his or her reported medical condition? Is he or she playing sports, working for a competitor, or engaged in undeclared seasonal work? Our discreet surveillance operations allow us to gather video and photographic evidence that can be used in proceedings before the Labor Court in Ajaccio or Bastia.
Our investigative reports provide a legal basis for your HR decisions and can serve as grounds for disciplinary action or termination for serious misconduct.
Internal Fraud and Theft in the Workplace
Corsican companies, regardless of their industry, are not immune to internal misconduct: embezzlement, theft of merchandise, fraudulent use of company resources, falsification of expense reports, and breach of trust. We identify the perpetrators of these frauds, establish the facts of the case, and gather evidence to support legal action or disciplinary proceedings.
Our absolute discretion ensures that the investigation will not disrupt the operations of your teams—a particularly sensitive issue in an island economy where stakeholders often know one another.
Unfair Competition and Economic Espionage
Poaching of employees, unlawful use of customer databases, unfair competition, breach of non-compete clauses, disclosure of confidential information: we investigate these unfair practices and compile the necessary evidence to file a case with the appropriate court.
Protecting your know-how, strategic data, and competitive advantages requires constant vigilance, particularly in an island economy where stakeholders often operate within a small circle.
Verification of Applications
Before hiring an executive or a key employee for your Corsican company, ensure your decision is sound by verifying the authenticity of their degrees, work experience, and references, and confirming that they have no history of legal disputes.

The Aquila Group has a network of agencies throughout France ( Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur , Brittany , Pays de la Loire , Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes ) and international partners through the Council of International Investigators (CII). If your investigation extends beyond the island, we ensure operational continuity.

Frequently Asked Questions – Private Detective / Investigator in Corsica
No, we do not currently have a physical office in Corsica. Depending on your case, we will assign either a CNAPS-certified investigator already based on the island or an investigator from our national network, with the same commitment to legal compliance as in our long-standing offices.
Yes, absolutely, provided that the investigation is conducted in accordance with the legal framework. All of our investigators are CNAPS-certified and strictly comply with applicable laws (Internal Security Code, GDPR, Penal Code). Our reports are admissible in court.
Yes, our investigators operate in both Southern Corsica and Northern Corsica, along the coast and inland, from Bonifacio to Calvi.
It depends on the nature of your case and the availability of an investigator on the island at the time of your request. A surveillance operation may take anywhere from a few days to a few weeks; travel from the mainland may add an additional 24 to 48 hours, which we will let you know upon initial contact.
Of course. Since we don’t have a physical office in Corsica, the initial free and confidential consultation takes place by phone or videoconference, or in person, depending on the availability of our investigators. This discussion allows us to understand your situation and recommend the most appropriate investigative strategy.
Living on an island comes with its own challenges: villages where it is harder to maintain discretion, a seasonal tourist industry that causes the population of certain towns to swell in the summer, and a limited road network in mountainous areas. Our investigators are trained to conduct surveillance in these confined environments and use methods tailored to each setting, from the coast to inland areas.
