About us

Our Story

The investigative agency Argo was founded on July 28, 1989 in one of the most distinctive and central areas of Rome — the Prati district — from the idea of four retired Carabinieri Officers who, sharing common goals, decided to put their many years of experience at the service of those in need. The agency’s offices are located within a private condominium that ensures maximum discretion for those who visit, while also offering convenience and accessibility thanks to its proximity to the Ottaviano metro station and a private garage available for our clients.

The private investigators who work with our agency are carefully selected, also through specific tests designed to assess the essential qualities required for the profession, ensuring high performance standards. Our primary goal is to never disappoint those who choose our team, providing evidence that can be used in court. To achieve this level of satisfaction, every investigation is meticulously handled by a team of professionals with multidisciplinary expertise.

We are authorized by the Prefecture of Rome to conduct investigations in the fields of Private, Corporate, Commercial, and Criminal Defense.

The agency is the only one in the sector to be certified for Quality Management (ISO 9001) and Information Security (ISO 27001), thereby ensuring the highest level of data protection for our clients — whether they are government bodies, companies, or private individuals.

The company is a member of the most renowned and long-established professional associations in the sector, both nationally and internationally (Federpol – Italian Federation of Private Investigation, Information and Security Institutes; WAD – World Association of Detectives).

The acquisition of the most advanced certifications in the field of investigative sciences, together with significant investments in Research and Development, contribute to the success of our company, a leader in private investigations throughout Italy.
