Case Studies

Private Client Extortion

The head of a family received several calls demanding he disclose documents and information about his business and make a payment equivalent to US$1.36 million or the extortionists would release confidential information. The insured contacted their insurer and teams were deployed to the insured residence. The insurer and on-the-ground partners provided a complete risk assessment of the insured’s residence and business, together with a protocol for handling future calls. No other calls were received.

Kidnap for Ransom

A company sent an employee to visit Brazil to explore a new business opportunity. On the third day of the visit the employee was kidnapped, and the company was notified that the employee was being held for a $1 million ransom. The company immediately called the emergency hotline and two security consultants were sent to work hand-in-hand with the company’s crisis management team. After 5 days of negotiations, the employee was released for a ransom of $500,000 which was reimbursed in full by the insurer.
