Forensic examination of seized vehicles – Professional forensic analysis of seized vehicles
Vehicles that have been seized or impounded require a particularly rigorous chain of custody, as digital evidence is often secured in the context of criminal investigations and must therefore meet high standards of proof.
We document every step, from the handover of the vehicle right through to the preparation of the report, in full, in order to ensure traceability for the relevant procedure.

The examination is, as a matter of principle, carried out exclusively on a forensic copy, a forensic image or a data source captured in a technically equivalent manner that preserves the integrity of the evidence. The original evidence remains unchanged and is stored in a manner that preserves its integrity.

Typical areas of application
This is how an investigation into seized vehicles is carried out
Following the documented handover of the vehicle, a physical inspection, forensic data recovery and analysis are carried out in accordance with the same strict standards as for all other investigations, with a particular focus on ensuring comprehensive documentation.
Why is the examination of seized vehicles of forensic relevance?
In the context of criminal law, a particularly meticulous and fully documented approach is of paramount importance for the subsequent admissibility of the findings.
Formal shortcomings in the collection or documentation of evidence can significantly weaken the probative value of findings, even where their content is unambiguous.
