DESCRIPTION

The client had a member of extended family involved in an incident in Mexico in which the local security authorities and law enforcement became involved which significantly elevated the risk of negative media exposure to the client which would have resulted in significant damage to his reputation.

SOLUTION

SCI deployed a consultant to the location within 12hrs of the incident, who was able to arrive already informed and navigate the reputational and legal aspects of the incident. A series of rapid assessments took place immediately to cover all risks pertaining to the client, his associates, and the fact they were UK citizens in a foreign country.

OUTCOME

The consultant liaised from Mexico with the client, his office and PR team in London. The family member was hospitalised, sectioned and monitored by a security team for the client safety. The Client spent just over a week in hospital being monitored whilst SCI team conducted liaison with the hospital and airline to ensure safe exit of the country. SCI continues to deploy a range of discreet services for the client, from protective security to social bookings, fan and media liaison and vetting, social media monitoring and the handling of accounts whilst he, his family and friends travel. This removes the threats of security breaches, media imposition, fraud, and most of all – safety. Hotels, superyachts, private aircraft and transport logistics are managed all under the one roof with security and discretion.
