Abstract This chapter considers the corporate intelligence sector’s provision of asset tracing, surveillance, and security services in the battles between kleptocrats and their exiles. It focuses on Arcanum Global’s relationship with the Nazarbayev regime of Kazakhstan. When the regime lost power in the country in 2022, UK corporate intelligence providers not only defended Nazarbayev allies against the new government but took action against journalists who reported on their activities. While corporate intelligence themselves claim to work with Western allies, the chapter shows how they operate as professionals for private hire, often enabling kleptocratic practices and suppressing critical reporting through legal and extra-legal means.
