CORPORATE INVESTIGATIONS

ASSET DEFENCE

EXPERT PRIVATE INVESTIGATORS IN ITALY

Agenzia Investigativa Gruppo Ponzi Investigazioni organises and coordinates technical systems of corporate defence, adopting all possible precautionary defences. We establish the role and tasks of each employee, assessing their capabilities in order to focus on and eliminate possible corporate security weaknesses. Crimes such as theft, robbery, extortion, kidnapping for profit, intimidation attacks and fraud are growing phenomena, and our agency, led by experienced private investigators, is ready to meet these challenges.

The massive and ever-expanding presence of hypermarkets, supermarkets and other commercial establishments in the country makes these areas 'attractive' to criminals, both during public access hours and when closed. Our agency is committed to mitigating these risks, offering tailor-made solutions to protect business interests.

FRANCO PONZI

From an early age he chews on bread and investigations, thus becoming passionate about this world. He grew up in the myth of his father Vittorio and uncle Tom. Franco Ponzi is the only one of the current generation to have worked with Uncle Tom Ponzi, then over the years gained experience and decided to open his own offices. With more than forty years of experience and a licence holder since 1987, he realised, before others, the importance of having a ramification of offices in northern Italy, which would allow him to establish a structured reality that would bring the profession geographically closer to his clients and, above all, an investigative reality present in the most industrialised areas of Italy.

Over the years he has been interviewed by local and national broadcasters including Farete Bologna, Milanow, Tv Parma, Rai 1, Rai 2 and Italia 1, by newspapers and radio stations on the facets of his profession, and as president of Gruppo Ponzi Investigazioni, a consortium he created in 1998 and distinguished by its own registered trademark.

In 2015, he wrote the book 'Seven - The Deadly Vices of a Private Investigator' where he recounts some of his adventures.

Known to the chronicles for unmasking notorious cases of fraud, unfair competition, absenteeism, counter-espionage and theft, he continues today to carry out his investigative activities and coordinate the collaborators of the offices in Northern Italy.

MARCO PONZI

Born and raised with investigations in his blood, having started working with his father at a very early age, he represents the third generation of the Ponzi dynasty in the sector. He began as a collaborator with his father Franco in 2010, the year in which he began to learn the trade through fieldwork in Italy and abroad, demonstrating strong investigative skills.

In the years from 2016 to 2019, while working, he obtained a degree in Political Science and International Relations.

In 2012 he became a partner of Franco Ponzi's Ponzi International Institute, since 2015 a partner of Ponzi Fratelli & C. Investigations, of which, thanks to the experience gained, he became legal representative and licence holder in 2023.

OUR HISTORY

Early 1950s. Tom Ponzi started his private detective business in Milan, involving his brother Vittorio. The two run the Mercurius agency in Corso Sempione, shoulder to shoulder.
1958: Vittorio Ponzi decides to found his own investigation agency: the Ponzi International Institute, always maintaining a close working relationship with his brother Tom Ponzi
1966: Ettore Ponzi founds Hector Ponzi Investigations in Milan
1987: Franco Ponzi, Vittorio's eldest son and the only one of the active Ponzi family to have worked with his famous uncle, becomes a licensed investigator and opens the Ponzi International Institute in Reggio Emilia
1992: Franco Ponzi opens Ponzi Investigazioni s.n.c. in Parma, continuing to collaborate with his father and paternal uncles
1998: Franco Ponzi takes over his uncle Ettore's business, founding Fratelli Ponzi & C. Investigazioni and maintaining the historic headquarters of 1966 in Milan at 14 Via Buonarroti. In the same year Franco Ponzi opens the doors of a new agency in Modena, enabling him to set up a consortium of Ponzi Investigazioni Group operators, since it was forbidden at the time to create a single holding company. Thus, a unique Group is born to which all agencies linked to Franco Ponzi belong.
2005: opening of Ponzi Investigazioni Srl based in Bologna
2010: Marco Ponzi starts the third Ponzi generation
