“Is My Imported Wife Working as a Prostitute?” A Case of Kurtz Investigations Münster

An Agitated Caller on a Sunday Afternoon

• “Good afternoon,” a nervous male voice answers the telephone at Kurtz Investigations Münster on a Sunday afternoon, “I have a problem and you absolutely must help me! You are detectives, aren’t you?”

• “Of course, after all you have called a detective agency. Mr …?”

• “Hunsrück [name changed]! You can google me!”

• “What is your problem, Mr Hunsrück?”

• “I imported my wife from Nepal and …”

• “You IMPORTED a wife? I beg your pardon?”, our detective for Münster interrupts the caller.

• “Yes, from Nepal. But I married her for love, only I do not know what she is doing and whether she is cheating on me! I cannot think straight any more! Please help me immediately!”

• “Please calm down first and tell your story from the beginning.”

Mr Hunsrück’s Definition of “Importing a Person”: Falling in Love, Marrying, Bringing Her to Germany

“So,” Mr Hunsrück begins his assignment description for Kurtz Detective Agency Münster, “two months ago I met a woman from Nepal and fell in love with her. She wanted to leave there and build a new life. Out of love I married her and brought her to Germany, where she wanted to run her own restaurant. I wanted to make that dream come true for her. But then everything turned out differently! And now I am standing here and cannot think clearly any more! It cannot be – I mean, I have nothing against foreigners, but it cannot be that we help them with our German money and then they make fools of us here!” There are a few other characters in Münster who call themselves lawyers, think our Münster private detective, who voice very similar slogans and enjoy filing absurd criminal complaints against media representatives, journalists or even celebrities.

Wife lives in Frankfurt during the Week for Training

• Mr Hunsrück: “You absolutely must help me! Please! I cannot think straight any more!”
• “I have understood that,” our investigator from Kurtz Investigations Münster assures him, “but you must first tell me the whole story before we as detectives can do anything for you.”
• “Of course, of course! I simply cannot think clearly any more! So my wife … at the beginning everything was wonderful with the two children and so on, also in bed, she can do things, well … anyway, at first everything was perfect down there, but then at some point the hygiene was not so great and well, one starts having one’s thoughts! In any case, she is during the week in a restaurant in Frankfurt with another Nepalese man. He runs a restaurant there and she is supposed to learn something about restaurants and so on, so that we can open one ourselves! But she always talks about ‘her room’ and is rarely online and almost never reachable. And I know my way around the red-light district and I know how things work there with rooms and so on. And she was in a hotel once as well! And my two children, it is all so terrible!”

A Rival of the Client of Kurtz Detective Agency Münster?

• “To summarise,” our detective for Münster asks, “you therefore believe that your wife is a prostitute because she lives in a room above the restaurant where she works?”
• “Well, somehow yes! But it is complicated! I want to have the marriage annulled because of severe deception! And then there is also this Nepalese man who always …”
• “… who runs the restaurant?”
• “Yes, him! He keeps buying her expensive things! Once a mobile phone and then something else! No man does that without ulterior motives! Isn’t that so?”
• “You may well be right. Our detectives can gladly check for you whether your wife is working as a prostitute. For that, we would have to visit the restaurant in Frankfurt.”
• “Yes, please! You must help me! When can you start?”
• “First we need to conclude the investigation contract and then I must see how quickly I can free up a detective for Frankfurt.”
• “Can you manage it today? Please! I am desperate and cannot think straight any more!”
• “Mr Hunsrück, it is Sunday afternoon, I do not even have a contract yet – I cannot possibly promise that we can manage it today. After all, such a detective assignment also requires organisation and coordination.”
• “Yes, I understand! But if I send you the contract immediately, can you then do it today?”
• Resignedly, the detective from Kurtz Detective Agency Münster sighs: “I will do my best, but I cannot promise anything.”

Internet Research by Private Detectives in Münster

Although the matter is, according to the client of Kurtz Investigations Münster, extremely urgent, the e-mail with the countersigned investigation contract does not arrive until around midday the following day. Our Münster detectives begin online research to determine whether there are any indications of sexual services associated with the restaurant address in Frankfurt. However, no such entries can be found. The hotel in which the target person is said to have stayed is also not known as a meeting place for prostitutes, but rather as a hotel for visitors to professional conferences and trade fairs. On the night of the booking, a lecture on gastronomy had taken place there. Consequently, the online research conducted by our private detectives in Münster does not confirm the correctness of our client’s suspicion. An on-site check is intended to provide further clarification.

Mrs Hunsrück Cannot Be Found at the Target Address

During the first deployment of our detectives in Frankfurt, the restaurant is closed for a rest day. As it has hardly any internet presence and the telephone number listed in some trade directories is no longer current, this could not be determined without visiting the premises. The investigators check the doorbells and letterboxes. The name of the target person is not listed, whereas that of the restaurant owner is. On instruction of the client of Kurtz Detective Agency Münster, the operator is not to be contacted if possible before verifying whether the target person can be found on site. The detectives therefore decide to return the following day.

Interview and Open Confrontation on Site

On the next day, even before entering the restaurant, the deployed private investigator can see through the glass front several female persons who roughly match the description of the target person. As he finds it difficult to clearly distinguish between the Asian individuals, he consults a photograph of the target person and is able to identify her among the service staff. The detective takes a seat at a table, repeatedly lowers his gaze when waitresses pass by, and finally signals to the target person that he would like to order from her. Later, when she refills his drink, he discreetly asks whether she has any plans afterwards and whether he might meet her “upstairs”. With an angry look, the target person walks away without a word. The investigator waits for a while to see whether any reaction might still occur.

 

As this is not the case, he asks an employee to speak to the restaurant manager. The latter introduces himself with the same name that the client of Kurtz Investigations Münster had known from the smartphone benefactor of his wife. However, he is of such advanced age and apparent physical frailty that he can hardly be regarded as an admirer. The Frankfurt detective tells the restaurant manager that he has heard about the “special relaxation opportunities” in the back room and would like to try them. The man appears confused, whereupon the investigator becomes more explicit: “You have prostitutes in the back room, do you not? I would like one hour with that one.” He points to the target person. The restaurant owner appears ready to explode, understandably insults the corporate investigator from Kurtz Detective Agency Münster vehemently and throws him out of the establishment – lifetime ban included.

Personal Conversation Between a Detective and the Target Person – Everything Turns Out Differently Than Expected

On the following day, Kurtz Detective Agency Münster attempts to clarify the case in a personal conversation with the target person. For this purpose, a different operative is once again sent to the restaurant, where the detective openly informs Mrs Hunsrück that he has been commissioned by her husband, who is greatly concerned. The target person reacts with shock, speaks in English of stalking and scolds the client as a control freak who is suffocating her and is not quite right in the head. According to her statement, she had already informed him weeks earlier that she was separating from him, yet he apparently refuses to understand this. The detective is to inform Mr Hunsrück that he is paranoid and should please leave her alone.

Protection of the Target Person’s Legitimate Interests

Based on Mrs Hunsrück’s statements, the private detectives of Kurtz Investigations Münster come to the conclusion that the written assertion of legitimate interest in the investigation is not given in this case, as the client had concealed the decisive information that his wife had separated from him. In order to safeguard the target person’s legitimate interests, our detectives must refrain from providing the client with information regarding her whereabouts and occupation. As one can imagine, he is not at all pleased about this, yet after legal assessment of the situation this course of action is unavoidable and also humanly justifiable, given that the client had openly deceived us regarding the relationship status and his intentions in commissioning Kurtz Detective Agency Münster.

All names and locations have of course been completely altered to protect clients and target persons.
